Jõujaotus

Jõujaotus is an Estonian term that translates to "power distribution" or "power supply." It refers to the system responsible for delivering electrical energy from generation points to end-users. This complex network typically involves several key components.

The process begins with electricity generation, where power plants produce electricity. This electricity is then transmitted over long distances at high voltages through transmission lines. These lines are designed to minimize energy loss during transport.

As the electricity approaches populated areas, it enters substations. Here, the voltage is stepped down to lower levels suitable for distribution. The distribution network then carries this lower-voltage electricity through a series of smaller lines and poles to homes, businesses, and other consumers. Transformers are crucial at various points in the distribution system to further reduce the voltage to the safe and usable levels required by appliances and equipment.

Effective jõujaotus is essential for a reliable and stable electricity supply, ensuring that consumers have access to power when they need it. It also involves monitoring and managing the flow of electricity to prevent overloads and ensure safety. The design and maintenance of the jõujaotus system are critical for the functioning of modern society.
