Electric substations either step up voltage or step down voltage for electric power distribution. For example, power being generated at a power plant would be stepped up in voltage for transmission over the electric grid. On the other hand, power coming into a residential neighborhood from the electric grid would be stepped down in voltage for distribution to individual homes. This increasing or decreasing of voltage will be accomplished by using Transformers in the substation. There will also be electric circuit breakers in the substation located on both the high and low voltage sides of the transformer. These circuit breakers are used to be able to isolate the transformer from the electric grid for maintenance purposes or in case of an electrical fault that could damage the transformer. Most substations will also contain a Control House that contains all of the control equipment for the substation as well as battery backups in case of loss of power. Type your answer here...

What happens at substations?
At substations, the voltage of electricity is either stepped up or stepped down depending on its application. They serve as an intermediate point between the power generation plants and the consumers' electrical distribution system. Substations also provide various protection and control mechanisms to ensure the reliable and efficient transmission and distribution of electricity.
