*Power Distribution

After electricity is generated, it needs a way to get to the different end devices or circuits. The primary job of these components is to create the paths for power to flow, and/or control the amount of power feeding the end devices/circuits. There is a breakdown of different distribution systems located in Power Distribution under the Concepts section.
