There are at least two fundamental problems with this question.

First, and assuming that the subject is electrical power transmission, the generated power will always be expressed in killovolts or "kv", which indicates "thousands of volts". The 200kb that is given is a computer expression indicating killobytes, which indicates a factor of 1,024 bytes.

Second, the 200k value given in this question is not familiar. A real-world value will be closer to 230kv, and depending on the area served, this value may very well rise toward a million killovolts, or may be less.

In answering the "question apparent", we can now assume that 230kv is transmitted from a power generator to a distribution network where there should be several, if not many, substations. Such a network is typically located within a large geographic area. The substations and their outputs (reduced voltages) are designed specifically to meet the needs of the area served. Some examples of output voltages are 26kv, 13kv, and 4kv.

How many volts are they in a substation?

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.Sub stations have a variety of voltages depending on what systems they are connected to. At the sub station, the transmission voltage (might be 250,000 volts) is reduced to distribution voltage (might be 14,000 volts). The 14,000 volts is distributed through out the community and then the voltage is further reduces by pole transformers to a voltage (120/240 volts) that can be used by homes.


How electricity reaches your home?

Power is generated at the power plant. It is then sent to a step up substation where the voltage is stepped up to several hundred thousands of volts to reduce amperage and keep the power lines from melting, then closer to your home it goes to a step down substation where the voltage is reduced and amperage is increased again. these are the power lines most commonly seen, then it goes to the transformer outside your house on the light pole where the voltage is greatly reduced yet again and turned into single phase 240 volts, it then goes from the transformer to the electric meter on your home, from there it goes into a breaker box and can be used as 240 volts or split into 110 volts depending on its application.

Can 415 volts be reduced to 208?

Yes, 415 volts can be reduced to 208 volts using a step-down transformer. This device transforms the higher voltage to a lower voltage level suitable for specific electrical applications. It's important to ensure that the transformer is correctly rated for the load it will serve and that all safety standards are followed during installation.


Why are volts needed?

Volts are the "electromotive force" that is needed to "drive" the electricity through the wiring.

Can a 230 volt supply be reduced down to 208 volts?

Yes it can be transformed from one voltage to the other.


Can two generator be hook together to make 440 volts?

Not in any way that is easy. Just get a step up transformer from 220 to 440 Volts. Your current will be reduced by about 1/2.


What is the Unit substation in electrical power distribution?

In a power distribution grid, there is a main power source from usually a generating plant or dam. It is then subdivided into 2 or more substations usually to power cities or localities away from the power source. These substations convert the distribution voltage (several thousand volts), down to voltages that can be distributed through the locality. Further reduction of voltage occurs at individual poles that feed the business or home for 120-220 volts, etc.


What is difference between substation and transformer?

AnswerIt is a large encased group of metal plates about the size of a small house with 2 sets of insulated copper wires wrapped around the plates -an input and output - to convert a very high supply line voltage - maybe 44 thousand volts to a lower voltage of 2200 volts that runs down the power line poles in your neighborhood. Look at your street's power poles and you will see a mini substation that converts he 2200 volt to 220 volts and may supply several homes. Actually a substation transformer for a distribution substation will reduce the incoming voltage from 115,000 volts or 69,000 volts to a lower voltage closer to 7200 volts that runs down the power poles in your neighborhood. At your house there will be a small transformer that reduces the voltage from 7200 volts to 240 volts to meet the needs in your home.Actually both are wrong !!


How do volts get power?

Volts cause current to flow through the load. The current is measured in amps, and the volts multiplied by the amps gives the power in watts.
