Electrical substations
Electrical substations are key facilities within the power grid that manage the distribution of electricity. They step down high-voltage electricity from power plants to lower voltages suitable for homes and businesses, ensuring safe and reliable delivery. Substations contain transformers, switches, and equipment to control, protect, and route electricity efficiently. They also help monitor the system’s performance and isolate faults to prevent larger outages. Overall, substations act as junction points that regulate and direct electrical power, maintaining stability and safety across the electricity network.
