Pioneering Charlotte civil rights attorney Julius Chambers dies. Pioneering civil rights lawyer Julius Chambers â a crusader for equality whose landmark cases led to integrating Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools â died late Friday after months of declining health.
As it gets closer to your house it goes to a sub station where the voltage is lowered and then sent on its way. It finally arrives in your neighborhood and is sent to a transformer where the voltage is lowered to 220 volts. This is what comes into your house and goes to the circuit breaker box. The next section describes a bit of technical mumbo jumbo about sine waves and phase relationships.
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. Basically, a transformer changes electricity from high to low voltage using two properties of electricity.In an electric circuit, there is magnetism around it.his lower voltage electricity is put into the local electric wires at a substation. The substation breaks the larger amount of power down into smaller pieces at lower voltage. It then is stepped down again and again. Once smaller transformers take that voltage down to usually 7,200, the power leaves this substation.
