Power Transmission and

Distribution System
In this presentation, we'll explore the fascinating world of power
transmission and distribution. From generating electricity to delivering it to
consumers, we'll cover everything you need to know about this essential
aspect of modern life.

Step-up Transformers Switchgear Distribution

The voltage of the power
transmitted is stepped up at
the substation to reduce
losses before it's distributed
to the grid.
The substation includes
switchgear that protects the
power grid from overloads
and faults.
Transformers
The voltage is stepped
down through distribution
transformers and sent to
the distribution network.
