What is the difference between power transmission and power distribution?

2025-08-10

power transmission is the bulk movement of electricity over long distances from a power plant to a local substation. This is done at extremely high voltages (typically 115 kV to over 500 kV) to minimize energy loss. The infrastructure for this includes large steel towers and high-voltage transmission lines.

Power distribution is the final stage of delivering electricity to end-users (homes, businesses, etc.). It involves lowering the voltage at substations and sending the power through a network of smaller, lower-voltage lines and poles that you typically see in your neighborhood.

At Ningbo Changshi, we specialize in providing the essential tools and equipment for both of these critical stages, ensuring the entire process is efficient and reliable.
