When national grid has a fault why does it switch to low voltage?

When a fault occurs in the national grid, the system activates protection mechanisms to prevent damage. Switching to low voltage helps reduce the stress on the grid and protect equipment from overheating or damage. This safety measure also helps isolate the faulted section of the grid until it can be repaired.


Can national grid shut your electricity off in the winter months in Rhode Island?

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.
