Primary distribution refers to high-voltage systems that transport power over long distances, while secondary distribution involves low-voltage systems delivering power directly to homes and businesses. A feeder usually begins with a feeder breaker at the distribution substation. Many feeders leave substation in a concrete ducts and are routed to a nearby pole. Primary Distribution: Involves the transmission of high. The electricity supply chain consists of three primary segments: generation, where electricity is produced; transmission, which moves power over long distances via high-voltage power lines; and distribution, which moves power over shorter distances to end users (homes, businesses, industrial sites. Each part can be subdivided into two systems: primary transmission and secondary transmission and similarly, primary distribution and secondary distribution and lastly the individual supply system to the individual consumers. More often than not, generation and transmission is solely three-phase.
