The generators produce sixteen thousand five hundred volts of electricity.
發電機產生16500伏特的電。
Before it leaves the power plant, the electricity's voltage is increased or boosted to two hundred thirty thousand volts for long distance travel.
在它離開發電廠之前，電力的電壓被提高到23萬伏特，用于長距離運送。
At the other end of a line, the process is reversed, and the high voltage is stepped down to one hundred ten volts and delivered into millions of homes.
在線路的另一端，這一過程是相反的，高壓被降低到110伏，然后輸送到數百萬家庭。
