NOTE

DISTRIBUTION OF ELECTRICITY

The basic concept of electricity distribution involves delivering electricity from power plants to end-users efficiently and reliably. This is achieved through a network of transmission lines, substations, transformers, and distribution lines. High-voltage transmission lines transport electricity over long distances from power plants to substations, where the voltage is lowered for distribution to consumers. Distribution lines then deliver electricity to homes, businesses, and other end-users at lower voltages.

Components of electricity distribution

The components of electricity distribution include:

  1. Substations: Facilities that receive high-voltage electricity from transmission lines and step it down to lower voltages suitable for distribution.
  2. Distribution Lines: Network of wires and cables that carry electricity from substations to consumers, such as homes, businesses, and industries.
  3. Transformers: Devices that change the voltage levels of electricity to match the requirements of the distribution system and end-users.
  4. Circuit Breakers: Protective devices that interrupt the flow of electricity in case of overloads, faults, or short circuits, ensuring safety and reliability.
  5. Switches: Devices used to control the flow of electricity, allowing for the isolation of circuits for maintenance and repairs.
  6. Meters: Instruments that measure the amount of electricity consumed by consumers for billing purposes and monitoring energy usage.
  7. Service Lines: Individual connections from distribution lines to consumers' premises, providing electricity to homes, businesses, and other end-users.
