Electric power transmission

Electric power transmission is the process of transporting electricity from power plants to homes and businesses over high-voltage power lines. Since electricity travels efficiently at high voltages, transformers step up voltage for transmission, reducing energy loss over long distances. Once near the end user, the voltage is reduced through transformers for safe, usable levels in buildings. This system involves a network of interconnected lines, substations, and equipment to ensure reliable delivery. In essence, power transmission is the infrastructure that moves electricity efficiently and safely from generation sites to where it's needed daily.
