What is the difference between HT and LT lines

LT - Low Tension ( Low Voltage )
        
Low tension lines have low voltage less than 1000 volts and high current distribution system Example of 440V 3 phase supply and 230v Single phase supply.commonly we used LT  in Secondary distribution system like our household applications are working in LT. It is used to transmit power at very small distances and use thicker conductor.
 ( P= VX I ) 
Here Low voltage and higher current , conductor size depending up on current.

HT - High Tension ( High voltage )
  
High Tension lines are using higher voltages ( 11kV, 33kV, )  it is used to Distribute power to large distances by in creasing voltage and decreasing current so as to reduce I^2 R losses. HT line uses thinner conductors than LT  line conductor.
