RE: Power System: Transmission Line Components and Design Considerations

in #steemstem5 years ago

Imagine the power transmission system without the transformers! I still think the transformers are the real MVP of power transmission. We can transmit at up to 330KV in Nigeria when most generating stations can only generate at between 11KV to 16KV, imagine for a moment that there was no transformer.

Sort:  

without the transformer there is no way to account for the voltage drops along the transmission line, just like I emphasized that the generating stations steps up the 11kv generated to a higher voltage magnitude using some transformers.
