What are the main components of electric transmission facilities?
2025-08-09Electrical transmission facilities are the backbone of the power grid, responsible for moving electricity from generating stations to local distribution substations. The primary components include:
-
transmission lines: The wires (conductors) that carry electricity over long distances. They can be installed overhead on tall towers or underground in specialized conduits.
-
Substations: Key hubs in the grid where voltage is transformed—stepped up for long-distance travel and stepped down for local distribution.
-
Towers and Poles: The structural supports for overhead transmission lines.
-
Switchgear and Transformers: Equipment within substations used to manage voltage, control power flow, and protect the system from faults.
Ningbo Changshi offers a comprehensive array of equipment and tools essential for building and maintaining all these components, ensuring the integrity and reliability of the entire system.
