That's german political clasification. Some germans sat down and decided
that in Germany, Mittelspannung is bellow 60kW. What about clasifications
in other countries? There is probably a country where 30kW is considered
High voltage. Tags should have the same meaning across borders.

How did you come to the conclusion that power=station is Umspannwerk, and
power=sub_station is Transformatorenstation? There is no logical reason,
because power station is a power plant in English.
