In every country in the world, There is a standard system known as The National Grid system used to transmit
electricity to all over the country. The national grid system is the network of cables which transport electricity
from the power stations to homes, factories and other places that require it.
Power stations produce electricity at high currents. Electricity transmission at high currents would encounter a
large resistance in the transmission wire and therefore lose a lot of its energy as heat. To prevent this, the
current generated is passed through a step up transformer. Here the voltage is increased to as much as
400,000V and the current decreased (remember the relationship P = VxI an increase in voltage and decrease in Kalendar
current by the same ratio will give the same power).

The high voltage (400,000 Volts) electricity is carried along overhead lines and underground cables referred to

as the supergrid. The voltage is the reduced in several stages making before reaching the end user. The voltage

reduction is made in step down transformers. Here is a sample of the national grid system in Britain.
