. Common household appliances are rated at 110 V, but power companies deliver voltage in the kilovolt range and then step the voltage down using transformers to 110 V to be used in homes. You will learn in later chapters that transformers consist of many turns of wire, which warm up as current flows through them, wasting some of the energy that is given off as heat. This sounds inefficient. Why do the power companies transport electric power using this method

High voltage transmission minimizes energy losses during electricity transmission.

Explanation:

When electricity is to be transmitted over a long distance, high voltage transmission is preferred to minimize energy losses due to heat.

The higher the transmission voltage, the lower the current and the lesser the resitance in the wire and the lesser the energy lost due to heat during transmission.

High voltage transmission in kilowatts enables light weight cables to be used for long distance electricity transmission.

This explains why, even though only 110 V may be required at home by some appliances, but electricity is transmitted in kilovolts and often require a stepdown transformer
