OF 3500-KW TURBO-ALTERNATOR for each bank—and three transformer panels for controllingthe supply of low-tension current to the a. c. bus-bars. Thecontrolling switches for the three individual oil switches sup-plying power to these transformers are mounted on these panels. The 220-volt a. are located underthe gallery floor, immediate-ly below the panels, and arelikewise sectionalized intotwo parts. The low-tensionconnections are so arrangedthat one bank of transform-ers normally feeds each ballof this bus, while the thirdbank can be connected toeither or both sections a
