In the national grid,what does the step up transformer do?

Answered by maham237 @



In the National Grid, the Step Up Transformer increases the amount of voltage that is passing through the grid at any one time. These are used at power stations, as without them, there would not be enough power to transport the electricity around the national grid.
Hope this helps :)
