- The National Grid
- Network of cables which distributes electricity from Power Stations to homes and other buildings.
- Voltage = 32,000V or more! Transmitting electricity at a high voltage reduces power loss = efficiency!
- Step Up transformers to step UP voltage to grid voltage
- Step DOWN at local substations to step voltage down to suitable/safe use in homes/offices etc. (230V)
