What are the main components of an electricity transmission system?

2025-08-09

The main components of an electricity transmission system include:

  • Generating Stations: Where electricity is first produced.

  • Step-Up Transformers: Located at generating stations, these devices increase the voltage to the necessary high levels for long-distance travel.

  • transmission lines: These are the large conductors, typically carried on towering steel pylons, that physically transport the high-voltage electricity across the country.

  • Substations: These facilities contain transformers and switchgear that help regulate voltage and direct the flow of power. They connect different parts of the grid and are the transition point where electricity is stepped down from transmission-level voltage to distribution-level voltage.

Ningbo Changshi's diverse product range, including our overhead line equipment and substation tools, is used to support the construction and maintenance of these critical components.
