The movement of electricity from where it's generated to where it's used is a well-defined process with four main stages:

• Generation: Electricity is produced at a power plant using various energy sources like coal, natural gas, wind, or hydropower. The electricity is generated at a relatively low voltage.

• Transmission: To transport electricity over long distances with minimal loss, its voltage is "stepped up" using a transformer at a transmission substation. It is then sent across the country via high-voltage transmission lines. Ningbo Changshi provides the OHTL wire cable conductor tension stringing equipment that is critical for building these long-distance power arteries.

• Distribution: When the electricity reaches a local area, it arrives at a distribution substation. Here, a transformer "steps down" the voltage to a lower, safer level. The electricity then travels through local distribution lines to neighborhoods, where it is further reduced in voltage by smaller transformers before reaching individual homes and businesses. Our underground cable laying equipment is often used in this stage for urban areas.

• Consumption: This is the final stage where the electricity powers homes, factories, and commercial buildings.
