90 Transporting Electricity Electricity has to be moved from the generating stations to peoples houses. Electricity has to be moved from the generating stations to peoples houses.

91 Most large scale generators produce around 25 000 V of electricity. The electricity is then moved to a transformer at the power plant which boosts the voltage to 400 000 V. Electricity travels more efficiently at higher voltages. The high voltage electricity is then carries by thick transmission cables made of copper or aluminum. Copper and aluminum are used because of their low resistance. The power lines go into substations near businesses, factories and homes. Here transformers change the very high voltage electricity back into lower voltage electricity. From these substations, electricity in different power levels is used to run factories, streetcars and mass transit, light street lights and stop lights, and is sent to your neighborhood. In your neighborhood, another small transformer mounted on pole or in a utility box converts the power to even lower levels to be used in your house.

92 Electricity that comes into our homes has been reduced to around 240 V. Older homes have the electricity brought in by overhead lines, newer homes have underground lines. Before the electricity is brought into your house, it is passed through a power meter to record the amount of electricity being consumed. After passing through the power meter it enters the house through the breaker box. There is one main breaker switch that controls all the electricity in the house. A breaker is a safety device that shuts the power off if the current becomes to high. Main breaker switch Inside the breaker box, the electricity can be kept at 240 V for some appliances (Oven, Furnace, etc.) or reduced to 120 V for lights and plugs. Each circuit in the house is controlled by a separate cicuit breaker. Individual circuit breakers
