Iheswitchboard equipment of these thtee stations consists of an alter-nating current load panel containing three pairs of transformerswitches, three aliernating current ammeters, bracketed synchroscopeand voltmeter. The use of these switches in connection with theopening of a special quick-break arrangement on the high tensionside of anv transformer enables that transformer to be cut ShowitiK IlankiiiK. \l i:\ OF TYPICAl, HIGHWAY CROSSINGCliniax CaUle Gimril.

After entering the sub-station building the high tension linepasses to the lightning arrester, the high tension switches, staticinterrupters and thenceto the high tension sideof the step down trans-former. From these thecurrent at 360 voltspasses to the alternatingcurrent load panel andthrough the individnrotary converter panelito the machines.
