What is Electric power distribution?
[[File:Looking north toward Sihyuan Wukou.JPG|thumb|Overhead power line in [[Taiwan]]]] '''Electric power distribution''' is the delivery system of [[electricity]] to places that use it, such as [[home]]s and other [[building]]s. It is done mainly by [[power line]]s, [[transformer]]s, [[Electrical substation|substations]] and [[Electricity meter|meters]]. The electricity comes from the [[power station]] at high voltage and is delivered at medium to low [[voltage]] levels. In early days, electricity was distributed as [[direct current]] (DC). [[Alternating current]] (AC) was later introduced during the [[War of Currents]]. DC distribution disappeared because [[transformer]]s can easily convert AC to high voltage for [[electric power transmission]] and low voltage to use at home. ==Configurations== * Radial network * Loop network {{sci-stub}} [[Category:Electricity]]
