Electrical substations

Electrical substations are part of a country's energy supply network and are used to change the voltage levels. Depending on the power that needs to be transmitted and the distance that it must be transmitted over, the optimum voltage is selected. Transformer stations are the final link in the chain that provides the lower voltage needed by consumers. They are used as part of both national and regional transmission networks, as well as district and local distribution networks.
