Why Electricity Is Transmitted at High Voltage — and How the Right Accessories Keep It Safe
Electricity travels across vast distances before reaching our homes and industries. At every stage — from generation to distribution — engineers must balance efficiency, safety, and reliability. That’s why we transmit power at very high voltages (132 kV, 220 kV, 400 kV, or even 765 kV). High voltage means lower current, and lower current means less energy lost as heat in the transmission lines.
