(a) At what voltage is the electric power from the generating station transmitted? Give reasons for your answer.

(b) What is the nature of the current transmitted from the power station?

Solution:

(a) Generation at voltages greater than 11 kV produces insulation problems. Whereas generation at voltages less than 11 kV requires a large current. As a result, the producing station’s electric power is transferred at 11 kV.

(a) The type of the electricity transmitted from the power station is alternating current (AC).
