OUTCOME
By the end of the lesson you will be able to apply your understanding of electricity and electrical generation to describe and analyse an a power transmission system.
Transformers enable voltage to be stepped up and stepped down. In a transmission system, transformers enable the power losses to be minimised by greatly increasing transmission voltages and thus decreasing transmission current and P = I2R
Electricity Distribution System parts: Origin Energy
RMS & Vp & Vpp voltages - First few paragraphs
LEARNING TASKS
Explain
Use the Rules V = IR and P = VI to show
Ploss = I2R
Why use RMS instead of Vp or Vpp?
