November |. That par ticular customer
pays $40 annually per horse power. but
Is to have ii for $36 II II takes more
that the amount just mentioned.
Weeklies devoted to electrical inter-
ests have within the last few days
printed many details of the enterprise.
The current Is to be generated and
transmitted according to the three
phase system'-that is, three separate
alternating currents will be sent. the
waves of one being a fraction of
wave length behind another. Three
copper wires will be required for this
purpose. Each 5000 horse power will
have its own set of wires, SO that
there will be twelve Of the latter even-
tually. when the whole 10000 is in, de-
livered.
1t has not yet been definitely decided
whether to send the curr ent at vol
tage of 10000 or 10000. The dynamos
generate 1t as 1000 and the current Will
go through three-phase transformers
al Niagara. which will raise the voltage
to whatever figure Is adopted. This Is
only for transmission purposes In Buf-
falo another set of transformers Will
reduce the voltage Tor pressure) TO
whatever degree Is desired. On trolley
roads II is customary to use voltage
of about 500.
There has been much talk about the
danger to human life and to animals
from accidental contact with wires con-
tanning higDpotential currents, and for
that reason the idea of underground
conduits has been considered. A pole
line has been adopted. however. This
line will run along "a private right of
way. and will be carefully fenced in.
Nobody but traspassers or careless
linemen. therefore, can get hurt. An
additional wire to catch lightning will
he strung along the same set of poles.
and at each fifth pole it will be run
to the ground, so AS to conduct off any
suprriiuous electricity gathered from
the atmosphere. '....'-''-'.
The particular form Of insuator to
be used for the power wires on this line
is the "petticoat' type. 50 that, no
matter how wet the outside may be-
come. there are dry inner surfaces which
will lfectually check the leakage of
electricity
