High-voltage power lines
High-voltage power lines are tall wires that carry electricity over long distances from power plants to local distribution networks. They operate at very high voltages to reduce energy loss during transmission, making the process more efficient. These lines are supported by large towers or poles and are insulated to prevent accidental contact. Once the electricity reaches local substations, the voltage is lowered for safe distribution to homes and businesses. High-voltage power lines are essential for delivering large amounts of electricity across regions reliably and efficiently.
