Transformers mounted on poles, on pads, or located in vaults if the service is underground, The electrical energy comes from _ many generators in power houses throughout the country, because the output of the stations is synchronized and fed into a common pool or grid. Bulk power is carried more economically over long distances at a higher voltage because of the reduction of line losses which in a very nonâ€"technical _ (and somewhat inaccurate) way could be described as evaporation. When you flip a switch to turn on a light, the TV, or the hair dryer, the electrical energy needed to operate this equipment has come a long way before it enters your home through the utility‘s meter, perhaps several hundred miles, and it has travelled at the speed of light. The â€" generators _ can produce power up to 18,000 volts. From the generating station the power is tranâ€" sformed to a much higher voltage. In Canada this could be 735,000 volts. This is the highest voltage in the world and was pioneered in Canada by Hydro Quebec.
