Chapter 22.2, Problem 41SSC
To determine

To Explain: What is being saved in reducing voltage by power companies.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Power consumption is directly proportional to the square of the voltage. In a grid,power is the amount of energy or electricity consumed per unit time.

As power is directly proportional to the square of the voltage, reducing voltage will reduce the power requirements in the grid. Hence, energy in the form of electricity is being saved by lowering the rate of consumption of electricity or power.

Conclusion:

Energy in the form of electricity is being saved.
