Transformer stations

Transformer stations are facilities that step electrical voltage up or down between high-voltage transmission lines and lower-voltage distribution systems. They play a crucial role in efficiently transmitting electricity over long distances by increasing voltage for minimal energy loss, then decreasing it for safe delivery to homes and businesses. Essentially, they act as electrical "switches," converting voltage levels to ensure electricity can travel efficiently across vast distances and then be safely used in daily life. These stations contain large transformers and safety equipment to manage and protect the flow of electricity in the power grid.
