What are the main components of an electrical distribution system?

2025-08-10

An electrical distribution system is a network of components working together to deliver power efficiently and safely. Key components include:

  • Feeders: The primary conductors that carry power from a substation to a specific distribution point without being tapped.

  • Distribution Transformers: Devices that step down high-voltage power to a lower, safer voltage for consumer use.

  • Switchgear and Circuit Breakers: Equipment used to control, protect, and isolate electrical circuits.

  • Distributors: Conductors that take power from the distribution point and have multiple taps along their length to supply individual consumers.

  • Overhead and underground Lines: The conductors themselves, which can be strung on poles (overhead) or buried in conduits (underground).

As a specialized manufacturer, Ningbo Changshi provides a comprehensive range of high-quality tools and equipment for the installation and maintenance of all these components, for both overhead and underground power line projects. Our products are designed to support the full lifecycle of a power distribution network.
