Electricity Transmission And Distribution

Bayani Gaba-gaba

The cables slung between pylons across open country are thinner than most people expect, and they are carrying the output of an entire power station. They manage it because the potential difference across them is enormous and the current in them is small, and that trade is the single decision on which the whole national supply rests. Get it wrong and a useful fraction of everything a station produces would be wasted warming up the countryside before it reached a single house.

This lesson follows the energy along that route, from the station to the socket, and asks you to be able to name every part of it in order. You will meet the two kinds of transformer that sit at the ends of the transmission line, one raising the voltage for the journey and one lowering it again so that what arrives in a street is safe to bring indoors. Then you will do the arithmetic that shows exactly how much is saved by sending the energy at hundreds of thousands of volts, using two equations you already have on the sheet at the back of your paper.

Manufura

  1. Electricity is distributed from power stations to consumers along transmission cables with transformers at both ends. Students should be able to identify and label the essential parts of an electric power transmission and distribution system.
  2. For a given power rating, a high distribution voltage reduces the current flowing, therefore reducing energy losses due to heating and making the system more efficient.
  3. Step-up and step-down transformers are used to increase the voltage before the distribution lines and reduce it at the end to produce a safer voltage for local consumers.

Stand under a line of pylons on a quiet day and you can hear it: a faint crackle coming off the cables. Those cables are surprisingly slim, no thicker than a wrist, and between them they are moving enough energy to run a city. The reason they can do it without glowing red hot is that the potential difference across them has been pushed up to hundreds of thousands of volts before the energy was let anywhere near them, and raising the voltage is the same thing as shrinking the current.
