Two transformers with the necessary switching ap-paratus are installed for this purpose. The substation build-ing, with the exception of the transformer section, is twostories high. The lower floor contains a switch room, a 32- vice and are rated at 1800 kva. Contact thermometers areinstalled in the transformers to show the temperature of theoil and to close a circuit in the svvitchroom as soon as thecritical temperature is reached. The transformers werefurnished by the Allgemeine Company and the switching. Dessau-Bitterfeld Railway—Overhead Construction for Six Tracks at Jessnitz cell storage battery for operating the switches and lighting,and a high-tension room which contains the 10,000-volt and60,000-volt switches, and the oil and water resistances forthe lighting and high-tension discharge protective appara-tus. The horns for the latter and the 60,000-volt busbarsare placed on the upper floor. In addition to this equipment,the switch room contains a small motor-generator set andtelephone. The two main transformers are placed in individual cellswhich were carefully designed to insure clean air for cool- equipment and protective devices by the Siemens-SchuckertCompany. OVERHEAD LINE CONSTRUCTION The overhead lines between Bitterfeld and Raguhn werefurnished by the Allgemeine Company, while the sectionfrom Raguhn to Dessau was installed by the Siemens-Schuckert Company. Throughout the entire system greatcare was exercised in designing the supporting structure
