1) Power transmission
2) Step-up transformer
3) Star connection
The process of sending electricity to distant places through wires from power stations to different distribution center is called power transmission.
Star connection is mostly used in power transmission. The Star connection also has a neutral (orstar) point made by connecting three phase lines. In star connection, the line current is equal to phase current.
In a step-up transformer, the output (secondary) voltage is greater than its input (primary) voltage. The step-up transformer decreases the output current for keeping the input and output power of the system equal.
