Ground wire (transmission line)

Dear kiddo,

Have you ever seen a toy car or train moving around on a track or road? Just like that, electricity also moves through wires called transmission lines.

Now, let's talk about the ground wire. This wire is like the strong and sturdy base of a building that keeps it standing upright. In the same way, the ground wire is used to keep the transmission line safe and secure.

Ground wire is the wire that is connected to the ground or the earth. It protects the transmission line from lightning or high voltage mishaps.

Think of it like a superhero shield that can absorb and redirect any dangerous electrical energy from the transmission line. This way, it keeps the electricity flowing without harming people or buildings around.

In simpler terms, the ground wire is like a big protective blanket that wraps around the transmission line and keeps everybody safe.

I hope that helps, kiddo!
