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.
