    Electricity Transmission

    and Domestic Electric


    Circuits
     Electricity is the lifeblood of our modern world. This presentation
    explores how it travels from power plants to our homes. We'll dive
    into the fascinating world of electricity transmission and
    domestic circuits.

     The Grid: A Nationwide Network
    Transmission Lines
    High-voltage lines carry electricity over long distances.

    Substations
    Voltage is stepped down for regional distribution.

    Distribution Lines
    Medium-voltage lines carry power to neighborhoods.

    Transformers
    Voltage is further reduced for household use.
     Power Generation: Where It
    All Begins
    1 Fuel Combustion
    Fossil fuels or nuclear reactions heat water to produce steam.

    2 Turbine Rotation
    Steam drives turbines connected to generators.

    3 Electromagnetic Induction
    Rotating magnets in generators produce electricity.

    4 Voltage Step-Up
    Transformers increase voltage for long-distance transmission.
     Domestic Electric Circuits:
    Powering Our Homes
    Main Supply
    Electricity enters homes through a service head and meter.

    Distribution Panel
    Circuit breakers protect against overloads and short circuits.

    Wiring
    Copper wires carry electricity to outlets and fixtures.

    Grounding
    Earth connection provides safety against electrical faults.
     Circuit Components: The Building
    Blocks
    Switches
     Control the flow of electricity in circuits.

    Outlets

     Provide access points for electrical devices.

    Fuses
     Protect circuits from excessive current flow.

    Loads

     Devices that consume electrical energy.


     Types of Circuits: Series vs Parallel

     Electrical Safety: Protecting
    Lives and Property

    1 Circuit Breakers
    Automatically cut power in case of overloads or short circuits.

    2 Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI)


    Protect against electric shocks in wet areas like bathrooms.

    3 Proper Insulation
    Prevents accidental contact with live wires.

    4 Regular Inspections
    Ensure all electrical systems are up to code and functioning safely.
     The Future of Electricity: Smart Grids
    and Renewable Energy

    Smart Meters Renewable Integration Electric Vehicles


     Enable two-way communication  Solar and wind power are increasingly  Growing adoption of EVs is changing
    between homes and power companies feeding into the grid, reducing reliance how we think about energy storage and
    for efficient energy use. on fossil fuels. distribution.
     Solar Energy
    Solar energy is the energy we get from the Sun.
    It can be converted into electricity or heat through various technologies.

     Types of Solar Energy


     Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Cells: Convert sunlight directly into
    electricity using solar panels.

     Solar Thermal Systems: Use sunlight to heat fluids, which can be


    used to produce steam for electricity or provide hot water.
