Why are transmission lines operated at much higher voltages than distribution lines?

2025-08-11
Answer: Operating at higher voltages significantly reduces power loss (I²R losses) during long-distance transmission. When voltage is stepped up, the current is reduced for the same amount of power. Lower current means less heat is generated in the conductors, making the transmission process more efficient and economical. We manufacture specialized equipment for the safe and efficient construction of these high-voltage transmission lines, including tension stringing equipment.
