At generating stations raw power is produces by steam, thermo, hydro, solar, or wind. This power is tied [500kV] to the grid (USA). The voltage is stepped down to 16kV at substations this power is distributed to pole Transformers to give us 120/240V AC dual phase, one phase is used per circuit for most loads, but both phases are used equally. Some equipment manufactures require 240V, because it will allow the equipment to do the same amount of work with less amps (allows smaller conductors and overcurrent devices, saves money on construction).
A closed circuit with a power source and load.
Electricity doesn't give power. Power is simply the rate at which work is done in an electric circuit.
Electricity does flow back to the power plant. This electricity is what forms the circuit needed to actually deliver the electricity to you when you need it.
With electricity, once you have tried the circuit breakers, it is safest to get a qualified electrician to fix the problem......electricity is dangerous if you do not know what you are doing.
a path through which power is transferred from generating station to consumers.
Depends on what kind of power station it is, can bea nuclear power plant, a coal-burning power plant, a wind turbine, or a hydroelectric power station.
In a circuit, electrical energy is transferred from a power source (such as a battery) to the components (such as resistors, capacitors, and light bulbs) through the flow of electrons. The model of electricity, based on Ohm's Law and Kirchhoff's Laws, can be used to describe how energy is transferred as electrical current flows through the circuit and encounters resistance, voltage drops, and power dissipation. By calculating the power consumed by each component in the circuit, you can better understand how energy is transferred and transformed within the system.
A power station
A path for electricity to flow is called a circuit. In a circuit, electrical current can flow from the power source through a conductor (such as a wire) to power an electrical device before returning to the power source. A complete circuit is necessary for electricity to flow.
Electricity
To produce electricity
it depends on how big the power station is
power source
The electricity source in a circuit is generally provided by a power source which can either be a battery or an alternator.
Battersea Power Station ceased generating electricity in 1983.
The first power station on the Waikato River is named the Horahora Power Station. It was built to provide electricity to the Martha gold mines in Waihi.
