How the Energy Distribution Process Works- Process Explained By Leading Transformer Exporter in India
We live in a world sustaining because of power but we never think
about how this whole distribution process works. How the energy is transferred
from to homes is never thought about. In this article, Rajasthan Powergen, the
leading Power transformer manufacturer in India will help you in understanding
the whole process.
Substations
Substation is the first point in the energy distribution process.
The local energy provider after purchasing electricity transfers it to a
substation. As the electricity which is transmitted here through the
transmission lines is of very high voltage making it too powerful (anywhere from 46,000 to 115,000 volts) and
unsafe for usage at home, it has to be stepped down to a normal level. This
process of bringing down power takes place at the substation.
Distribution
Transformers
After the voltage has been brought down to 13,200-25,000 volts, it
is still not safe enough to be directly transmitted to homes. Therefore it has
to be reduced further to 120-240 volts and it is here that role of transformer
becomes important. If you observe closely around the lanes of your home you'll
notice a cylindrical device on a nearby utility pole, That's the transformer.
The
Service Drop and Utility Meter
The service drop is a wire which is connected to the houses. In
the next step of the energy distribution process the electricity is taken from
the transformer to the service drop. A Device known as weatherhead in which the
wires are connected if they are situated above the ground. It serves as the
point where the utility's equipment and yours connects. If you have underground
wiring, the service wire is connected to your meter box. It also allows the
utility to measure the amount of power consumed.
How Power
Gets to Your Home
A meter box is placed in the house to which a breaker box is
connected throw wire. From the wiring system of the house sends energy to the
outlets and light switches.
So hopefully this brief article was of help to you. Some of the
equipment used are Lightning arrestors, low-side and high-side breakers and
voltage regulators. Each of these are regularly maintained at the plant of
leading Manufacturer of transformer
in India Rajasthan Powergen so that they remain in the best condition. It
takes a lot of effort and money to bet energy transmitted to you in the
comforts of your home.
