Electrical Transmission System

An electrical transmission system is a network that transports high-voltage electricity generated at power plants over long distances to substations. These substations step down the voltage for local distribution. The system includes high-voltage transmission lines, towers, and switching stations, designed to efficiently and reliably move large amounts of electricity while minimizing energy loss. It connects generation sources with distribution networks, ensuring that households and businesses receive a consistent supply of electrical power. Essentially, it acts as the highway that carries electricity from where it’s produced to where it’s needed.
