Why is electricity transmitted at such high voltages?
2025-08-10Answer: Electricity is transmitted at extremely high voltages to reduce energy loss caused by electrical resistance in the power lines. According to the principle of power transmission, when voltage is increased, the current is reduced for a given amount of power. Lower current flow results in significantly less energy being lost as heat, making the long-distance transmission of electricity far more efficient and economical. This is a fundamental concept we consider when manufacturing our high-quality wire cable conductor tension stringing equipment.
