FEEDERS

What is a feeder substation?
A substation is where incoming high-voltage electricity from the transmission line is reduced — by step-down transformers — to a lower voltage suitable for distributing power via feeder lines. A feeder, or main power line, carries electricity from the substation to an FPL local/regional service area.
