What are the key components of a power grid and how do they relate to transmission and distribution?

2025-08-11

Answer: The electrical grid is composed of three main parts:

  1. Generation: Power plants that produce electricity.

  2. Transmission: The high-voltage lines and substations that transport electricity from the power plant to regional areas. Our OHTL stringing equipment and tools are essential for these projects.

  3. Distribution: The lower-voltage lines, poles, and transformers that deliver power from the substations directly to consumers. We also provide a wide range of underground cable laying equipment and tools for these networks.

The successful operation of the entire grid relies on the seamless integration of all these components.
