Basic Components of Electric Power:
How electricity gets to you How electricity gets to you
When electricity leaves a power
plant (1), its voltage is increased
at a step-up substation (2).
Next, the energy tr avels along a
transmi ssion line to the area
where the power is needed (3).
Once there, the voltage is
decreased, or stepped-down,
at another substati on ( 4), and a
distribution power line (5) carr ies
the electricity until it reaches a
home or business (6).
