Substation, Brier Dene
This is a final distribution substation which is designed to transform electricity from (usually) 11 kV to the supply voltage for homes, 230 V (also described as 400 V). In urban areas there is one to every few hundred houses, in rural areas they are smaller still, often mounted on poles, and serve just a few homes. This one stands at one of the many entrances to Brier Dene. For a selection of detailed free to download walking routes in the area visit Link
