Answer: The journey of electricity from its creation to its use in homes and businesses can be broken down into three main stages: generation, transmission, and distribution.

• Generation: This is where electricity is produced at a power plant from various sources like fossil fuels, nuclear energy, or renewables.

• Transmission: Once generated, the voltage is "stepped up" using transformers to an extremely high level. This high-voltage electricity is then transported over long distances via large transmission lines. This is the "superhighway" of the electrical grid, allowing for the efficient bulk movement of power.

• Distribution: At substations, the high voltage is "stepped down" to a more manageable level. It is then sent through a network of smaller distribution lines to local neighborhoods, businesses, and ultimately, to a final transformer outside your home or business to lower the voltage to a safe, usable level.

Our company, Ningbo Changshi, manufactures a wide array of tools and equipment for both overhead transmission line (OHTL) and underground cable laying, which are essential for every stage of this process.
