How does electricity get to our home Electricity

How does electricity get to our home? Electricity generated in a power plant. After it leaves the generator it enters the transmission substation. This stop is still at the power plant. The transmission lines are huge. The electricity doesn’t get to your house directly from the transmission grid. The electricity is first moved down to the distribution grid. The distribution lines carry a lower voltage. The distribution wires with electricity go to your house through another transformer that reduces the voltage even more. Finally, the electricity you use in your house goes through a meter

transmission substations A transmission substation connects two or more transmission lines. The transmission lines have the same voltage. In such cases, substation contains high-voltage switches that allow lines to be connected or isolated for fault clearance or maintenance. Transmission substations can range from simple to complex. A small "switching station" may be little more than a bus plus and some circuit breakers. The largest transmission substations can cover a large area (several acres/hectares) with multiple voltage levels.
