Why is the voltage changed during the transmission process?

2025-08-09

Voltage is adjusted at different stages to achieve a balance between efficiency and safety.

  • Step-Up: For long-distance transmission, the voltage is increased to reduce the current. Since energy loss during transmission is proportional to the square of the current, raising the voltage allows electricity to travel hundreds of miles with minimal loss.

  • Step-Down: Before electricity can be used, the voltage must be reduced to a safe level for consumer use. This is done in stages at various substations, ultimately reaching a safe voltage for our homes and businesses.

Our company's products are used by professionals to manage these high-stakes processes, ensuring that voltage changes are performed safely and that the power grid remains stable and reliable.
