This same procedure applies to large motors. which cause heavy interference. he claims, and with a proper condenser to fit the need of a given motor all uneces- sary noises can be eliminated. with out diminishing the power of the motor. In many sets it is also possi- ble to prevent noises by disconnect. ing some of the wires in the set, he claims.
