Generating Electricity

The guys were super nice, I loved that they did the work immediately. Also after having a discussion with them about the static electricity from a lightenimg strike we had and it fried everything they suggested a surge protector to keep that from happening again. So we did that.

Dawn Boyd

Scheduled an appointment with Mr Electric of Fort Worth and received a call they were able to show up early and had Dylan show up on time stocked with a full truck. He was able to diagnosis the issue quickly and restore my power to a few plugs that were causing the breakers to trip continuously. Dylan was very knowledgable, clearly explained the cause and how he would fix the issue, and addressed all concerns that we had. He was replaced two breakers and installed 2 new outlets along with diagnosing the problem in about an hour. Very quick and so far seems to have resolved our electrical issue. Would definitely recommend Mr Electric of Fort Worth!

Dylan was so nice and always on time. Very qualified and explained everything he needed to do in a way I understood. My older house required an outside panel so I had a lot of work but Dylan and his helper worked together very well and finished on time so I was not out of power more than needed. Everything looked and worked great when done. I don't know how he was able to replace the cracked power pole and wiring on my roof so quickly and beautifully. I am very, very impressed with his skill level and would request him for any future work. The company is very well organized and office contact was a pleasure to work with(which is rare since these positions are usually underpaid)so reward her well, she is the "door" to your organization. She and Dylan sealed my deal!

Cody was professional, knowledgeable, and was able to provide me with a quick diagnosis pertaining to a wiring issue in one of my rooms. He gave me the price for the repair/modification and fixed the issue all in less than an hour. Thanks Cody!

Rotating turbines are the most often used method of generating electricity in modern power plants. These turbines are powered by a variety of sources, from natural gas and coal, to wind a water or nuclear energy. The ways in which we are able to produce electricity at large scale is growing every day, as advancements in technology and manufacturing continue to develop.

Transmitting Electricity

After the electricity has been successfully generated, it is then transmitted safely from the plant to the areas where it will be disbursed to individual properties. This is performed via a transmission line, where it will go to a nearby substation. From the substation, it will be further administered to the local distribution lines, which are often referred to as the “power grid”.

Distribution

Once electricity exits the substation, it travels through the powerlines until it is directed by pole-top transformers. At this stage, the voltage is lowered to a reasonable degree, so that it can safely make its way to your home without causing damage to your electrical system. This controlled, lower voltage electrical current makes its way through your service line, where it can flow through the electrical wiring into your circuits, outlets, lighting system and other electrical components. Finally, you can flip the switch, turn on the television or cook a meal while harnessing the power of electricity. At this point the electricity may have journeyed hundreds of miles from the original source to its final destination.
