Distribution Lines 44,000 Volts tion just outside the generating building. This substation uses large transformers to convert the generator''s voltage (which is at the thousands-of-volts level) up to
How Power is Delivered to Your Home
The high voltage power produced by the generator enters a transmission substation at the power plant. Inside the substation large transformers convert the generator''s voltage up to extremely
Substation including generators and parallel operation of transformers
When generators at a consumer''s substation operate in island mode (Utility power supply disconnected) the voltage and the frequency at the main substation level are both fixed
Substation
Usually for economy of construction the collector system operates around 35 kV, although some collector systems are 12 kV, and the collector substation steps up voltage to a transmission
The Transmission Substation
Typical voltages for long distance transmission are in the range of 155,000 to 765,000 volts. The higher the voltage, the less energy is lost due to resistance [source: UCSUSA].
The basic things about substations you MUST know in the middle
Distribution substations typically operate at 11KV/0.4KV voltage levels and deliver electric energy directly to industrial and residential consumers. Note that distribution voltage

OverviewTypesConstructionDesignComponentsMaintenanceAutomationFurther reading
Substations typically serve at least one of the following purposes: • Increasing the voltage produced by electric power generation for efficient transmission over long distances, using step-up transformers • Interconnection of different power grids
How the power distribution grid works
Three-phase power leaves the generator and enters a transmission substation at the power plant. This substation uses large transformers to convert the generator''s voltage,
Welcome to the Sciences at Smith College
The two insulated wires each carry 120 volts, but they are 180 degrees out of phase so the difference between them is 240 volts. This arrangement allows a homeowner to use both 120
How to Calculate Sub Station
The standard voltages for AC power in the United States are 115,000 volts (115 kV), 138,000 volts (138 kV), and 161,000 volts (161 kV). A typical substation can handle up to 115 kV of power.
