Introduction

Power distribution is the conversion of high voltage electricity at substations to lower voltages. Electricity can then be transported by medium voltage lines to feed medium and low voltage transformers, through overhead lines or underground cables.[1] [2]

Most users receive low-voltage feeds, while larger power consumers, such as factories or hospitals, receive medium-voltage feeds.[3]
