I met this sentense in a textbook, it says " for long distant transmission, it is desirabl to use as high a voltage convertion as can be accomplished by a transformer". I don't know what the first as means, as for the second as, I take it as which, I am not sure if i am right. Thanks for any help.

as high a voltage convertion...= to the maximum
of high voltage that can be accomplished by a transformer.

(I'm not good in English)

Thank you, Xkalibur. Your answer did give me some light on me. Can you offer some similar examples?

ps. some mistakes corrected in the sentense." for long distant power transmission, it is desirable to use as high a voltage convertion as can be accomplished by a transformer"

Ok, I'll check my grammar books, maybe I'll find something similar to your sentence.
