Kõrgpingeenergia
Kõrgpingeenergia refers to electrical energy transmitted or distributed at high voltage levels. This is a fundamental concept in modern electricity grids, enabling the efficient transport of power over long distances. High voltage reduces current for a given amount of power, which in turn minimizes resistive losses (I²R losses) in transmission lines.
The electricity generated at power plants, often at moderate voltages, is stepped up to very high voltages
The infrastructure for handling kõrgpingeenergia includes large transmission towers, insulators, and specialized substations. Safety regulations and
