SUBSTATION

A substation is a facility in the electrical power system where voltage is transformed and distributed. It acts as a hub that steps down high-voltage electricity from transmission lines to lower voltages suitable for local distribution. Substations contain transformers, switches, and other equipment to control and protect the flow of electricity. They ensure reliable and safe delivery of power from large power plants to homes, businesses, and industries, coordinating the complex process of managing electrical energy across the grid efficiently.
