To help maintain the reliability of your electric power, don t plant trees near power lines. A tree that s tiny today will be big one day. Plant wisely so that you can enjoy your trees for many years to come. This keeps long term outages from happening when temporary problems occur, like tree branches touching a line. The distribution system begins at the substation and ends at the service entrance of the home or business.
Main circuits leave the substations and branch out to taps and service wires.
Another good description of main circuit is trunk line. Used in heavily populated areas or to supply large commercial loads. A distribution transformer lowers line voltage from 14,400 to 240 volts before the electricity enters a home or business. BACK TO TOP Web site design by Mind's Eye Presentations, LLC .
