Al Qaim 33/11KV Electrical Mobile Substation Al Qaim, Iraq. Sustainment Assessment

Abstract

Electrical power is normally generated in power stations at voltages from 11 to 25 kilovolts (kV). In order to most efficiently transmit this power over long distances, it is stepped-up from 132 to 400kV. Power is then carried over long distances by the high voltage 132 to 400kV transmission lines. Substations step-down electrical power for eventual distribution to homes and business as shown below.
