Power transmission refers to the high-voltage transfer of electricity from generation facilities to substations over long distances. In contrast, power distribution involves delivering electricity from substations to end-users, such as homes and businesses, at lower voltages.

Improving power factor can enhance energy efficiency and reduce electricity costs. Methods include installing capacitors or synchronous condensers to offset inductive loads, thereby reducing reactive power and improving the overall power factor.

Voltage drops can result from factors such as long distribution lines, undersized conductors, and high-resistance connections. Mitigation strategies include using conductors with adequate sizing, minimizing the length of distribution lines, and ensuring all connections are secure and free from corrosion.

Safety is paramount in electrical power distribution. Essential measures include de-energizing circuits before maintenance, using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), adhering to lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures, and ensuring all personnel are trained in electrical safety protocols.
