Is there any diffetence between transmission and distribution?If so what is it?explain in detail.

Transmission

Transmission refers to the process of carrying electricity that is produced by turbines in a power plant (whether thermal or hydro electric) to power sub stations that are located near populations. It is kept in mind to locate a sub station at a place that is strategically located so as to be able to supply electricity to as large a population as possible so that less money is spent in making sub stations. Thus transmission lines provide a medium for electricity being produced from power plants to near areas where it is to be utilized by the consumers. Transmission lines carry electricity at a very high voltage which is around 11000 volts and it is usually three phase power transmission.

Distribution

Distribution begins after electricity lands at sub stations that are created near populations. It is the process of carrying high voltage electricity to end consumers converting it into 220V to make it safe and efficient for use in homes, offices and industries. The conversion of high voltage into a voltage that can be used in homes is done through transformers. Also the lines carrying this electricity to consumers are thin in comparison to transmission lines. Electricity is supplied in single phase to end consumers so some get it from one phase coming from the power plant while others may be getting it from another phase coming from the power plant.
