Why is electricity transmitted at such high voltages?
2025-08-10
Transmitting electricity at high voltages is a critical engineering practice to improve efficiency and minimize energy loss over long distances. The amount of power lost as heat in a conductor is proportional to the square of the current (P = I²R). By increasing the voltage, the current (I) can be significantly reduced to transmit the same amount of power. This dramatically cuts down on energy waste, making long-distance transmission economically and environmentally feasible. Our equipment is built to handle the challenges of these high-voltage systems, ensuring a reliable and efficient power grid.
