As Power engineering is a subfield of electrical engineering deals with the generation, transmission, distribution and utilization of electric power from grids. Electrical power starts flowing from the power plant which consists of a spinning electrical generator. The alternating currents (AC) in power plant are more advantageous than direct currents (DC) as the transformers must compulsorily should possess alternating currents to operate and the power from power distribution grid depends on transformers. The three-phase power from generator enters a transmission substation at the power plant which has large transformers to convert the generator voltage to extremely high voltages for long-distance transmission on the transmission grid
