We managed to make electrons move through the driving force of water turbines in a hydroelectric plant, and produce an alternating electric current.
This electricity travels a long way to go to your house.
1 - The electrical current produced by a plant can reach 13,800 volts, as is the case at the Robert-Bourassa generating station.
2 - With the step-up transformer located in the switchyard of a central , electricity is transported at much higher voltages ranging from 44 000 to 765 000 volts or.
3 - Once in the transport network, the electricity combines with electricity generated elsewhere.
4 - Electricity passes through cables suspended from towers , ranging from power plants to the substations - that lower blood - and then reachsatellite stations - which reduce the voltage again.
5 - Electricity borrows underground lines to exit the satellite stations. At a distance of workstations, network becomes air and transformers attached to poles lower the voltage for the last time. Indeed, at home, voltages 120 volts is used to power the TV, radio and other common electrical devices, or 240 volts to operate devices that require high current, such as dryer or stove.
6 - Electricity is consumed as soon as it is produced. It is transported to a very high speed close to that of light, or 300,000 km / s.
