The voltage can be anywhere from 5000 to 7500 volts. That is why the bugs snap when they get between the two grid plates.
A circuit breaker in a substation is a form of protection, designed to break fault current (the large volume of current that flows when a fault is detected on the system). It also has secondary function allowing the system operator to switch circuits in and out.
no
The national grid is not the one that sells you electricity. The only time the national grid will stop power flow is if it goes off line and this usually involves areas the size of cities. It is your local electrical utility that buys power from the grid and redistributes it to its electrical customers. Under certain circumstances the power can be shut off in the winter time and for that matter at any time of the year.
The grid operates on 60 Hz. The grid operates on 50 Hz. For more information see the answers to the Related Questions shown below.
The voltage of the French National Grid is 2000 mw high voltage. It is a direct current electrical interconnector between the British and French transmission.
because the voltage should be constant as the full transmission grid need ame voltage for synchronization of alternatos of grid
At the National Grid was created in 2005.
Power Grid control engineers switch on the reactors in the evening because that is when the load demand decreases, also termed as off peak hours. When the demand is low, the power generated is less therefore the system voltage increases. To control the voltage within the operational range, reactors are switched on to absorb the excess voltage during off peak hours.
220v ac UK and Europeans will need an adapter, but otherwise ok. US will need a converter.

Electric supply is related to the National Grid in that the National Grid is composed of many supply lines that direct electricity to the National Grid, and this in turn powers the country.
Not at high voltage. The Grid Electricity Is divided at subtations to lower voltage for transfer to Houses
By overhead cables, supported on masts, at very high voltage, to reduce the effects of resistance in the wires.
