Transmission level point

The transmission level point is like a gatekeeper for electricity. When electricity is generated, it is sent through big power lines to get to homes, schools, businesses, and hospitals. But before it can go to those places, it first needs to pass through the transmission level point, which is like a special door that only lets in certain amounts of electricity.

Think of it like a cupcake shop that only lets in a certain number of customers at a time. If too many people try to come in all at once, the shop can get overcrowded and chaotic, and it can be hard to give everyone the cupcakes they want. So the shop might have a person at the door who only lets in a certain number of customers at a time, making sure that everyone can get their cupcakes without the shop getting too crowded.

The transmission level point works the same way. There are limits to how much electricity can flow through the power lines safely, and if too much gets sent through at once, it can cause damage to the equipment or even start a fire. So the transmission level point is like the person at the door of the cupcake shop, making sure that only a safe amount of electricity gets through at any given time. Once it passes through the transmission level point, the electricity can then safely travel to the places where it is needed.
