Why do we (1584) not attempt some "transition" function across this boundary (or any other where this type of issue would exist)?
You'll have to choose a width for that transition. From 900 V to 1100 V? 950 V to 1050 V? Without tests, your guess at a width is as good as mine.
Then, why study really hard something (IE around 1 kV) where it's not as useful as elsewhere (choose among 208 V, 240 V, 277 V, 347 V, 380 V, 400, 415 V, 460 V, 480 V, 550 V, 575 V, 600 V, 690 V, 3 phases and 1 phase, and that's just for common low voltage values)? I'm not saying that it must not be studied, just that other voltages are more prevalent so should be better studied to better protect the maximum of people.
