Electricity is generated at power stations and sent through power lines at high voltages of 400,000 volts for long distances. Transformers at substations reduce the voltage to 11,000 volts before it travels to local neighborhoods. The voltage is then further reduced and carried through wooden poles and cables to buildings like homes, schools, and shops where it can be used.
