jaotuvvõrk
A jaotuvvõrk, or distribution network, refers to the system responsible for delivering electricity from transmission networks to individual consumers. These networks are typically characterized by lower voltage levels compared to the high-voltage transmission lines. They consist of a complex arrangement of substations, distribution lines (overhead and underground), transformers, and protective devices. The primary function of a jaotuvvõrk is to step down the voltage from transmission levels to safe and usable voltages for homes, businesses, and industries.
The design and operation of a jaotuvvõrk are crucial for reliable power supply. They must be capable
