The distribution of electrical power is comprised of a total system, starting with the production of electricity and ending with the consumption of electricity. This process includes the planned generation of power based on demand, the long distance transmission system, the local distribution system, and the customer's electrical wiring system. Each of these components includes equipment, material and many devices that function as individual elements in the successful distribution of usable electrical energy. In this study unit you will take a tour of the distribution of electrical energy, starting with the various methods of generation, through transmission systems, into the rural and urban substations, and ending at the customer's service entrance.
