Electricity for industries are supplied with high voltage.Domestic supply is with low voltage.


What are dangers of low voltage electricity?

please provide more detail, what do you mean low voltage? Also its not necessarily the voltage your worried about but the amount of current that can be supplied.


Why transformers were made?

A transformer is an electrical device that takes electricity of one voltage and changes it into another voltage. You'll see transformers at the top of utility poles and even changing the voltage in a toy train set.A transformer changes electricity from high to low voltage using two properties of electricity.

Is dc voltage the same as millvolts?

The v in vdc stands for volts. The dc stands for direct current. This is a voltage that you find in batteries and is not to be confused with AC which is alternating current which is the electricity in the utility grid that feeds your home electricity.

Why don't we use a step up transformers when we are in electricity deficiency?

By 'electricity deficiency', presumably, you mean 'energy deficiency'? If so, then a transformer does not provide energy; it merely changes voltage levels. When it increases a voltage, it doesn't increase the amount of energy supplied.


When the series boosting transformer needed?

A buck/boost transformer is used to lower (buck) or raise (boost) the utility supplied voltage to the non-standard voltage required by some equipment, can also be used to raise the voltage that has dropped from traveling too long of a distance.


How is high voltage used for the electricity that is delivered to your homes from regional generating stations?

The electricity that is delivered to homes from the regional generating stations uses high voltage in its distribution. This is then transformed from the high voltage on the primary side of the transformer to a lower voltage on the secondary side of the transformer. The common household voltage throughout North America is 120/240 volts obtained from the secondary windings of the step down utility owned transformer.


Why is the voltage decreased again before electricity is supplied to homes?

It needs to go to all the homes and increases current i dont know if thats right its just a guess.


All your 240 sockets and switches are reading 290?

Supposing your test meter is calibrated correctly, get in touch with your electricity supplier - there's nothing you (or an electrician) can do about the problem, this much over-voltage could well damage delicate equipment, and the supplier is required to ensure the incoming voltage is within 6% of 240v (ie 14.4v either way).
