Power Distribution
A network of high-voltage lines that transport electricity over long distances.
Transmission Grid
The device that steps down high-voltage electricity to a lower voltage for distribution.
Distribution Transformer
The process of converting high-voltage electricity to lower voltage for local use.
Voltage Step-Down
The part of the power distribution system that delivers electricity to the end user.
Distribution Line
An integral component of the power distribution system that plays a major role in voltage transformation and circuit control.
Substations
Devices used in power distribution networks to protect electrical systems from damage caused by excess current from an overload or short circuit.
Circuit Breakers and Fuses
A method of electric power transmission using three wires where the current in each wire is offset in time to yield a constant power transfer.
Three-Phase Power
Modern power distribution systems that use digital technology to monitor and manage the transport of electricity from all generation sources to meet the varying electricity demands of end users.
