3. Step-Up Transformer
Increases voltage in the electrical grid because of loss due to electrical resistance

4. Power/Transmission Lines

5. Substation Decreases electrical energy 155,00V7,200V Examples:
Bull Frog corner
51/Starlanding
HLHS/Latimer Park

6. Step-Down Transformer
Decreases electrical energy
7,200V240V
Found on telephone poles by homes and business
Looks like trash cans

7. Homes/Businesses
Electricity is transmitted on two lines with 120V each.
Some electrical energy is lost due to electrical resistance
