Electricity is transferred from power stations to consumers along the . It is done at a high to improve the efficiency of transmission. The step up transformer increases the voltage (potential difference), which reduces while providing the same amount of power. As we know current has a heating effect, reducing the reduces the effect and hence reduces losses in the cables. The step down transformer decrease the to a safer level and increases the to provide the power. Health Concerns Do overhead power lines pose a safety risk?Living too close to overhead power lines could increase the risk of childhood leukaemia according to a major study.
