Adelanto Converter Station

The Adelanto Converter Station, located in the desert near Victorville, northeast of Los Angeles, is where the high voltage DC line from the Intermountain Power Plant makes its first stop on the 500 mile journey to Los Angeles from Utah. The facility converts the 500,000 volt DC current to AC, and sends it down to the Rinaldi Receiving Station and Receiving Station E, in the San Fernando Valley.
