On account of the widedistribution given to power circuits the alter-nating 3-phase current is most commonly. used. The voltage is 220, 440 or, in largersizes, 2,200 volt. The General ElectricCompany makes a standard 2,200 VoltMotor as small as 15 horsepower. Auto-matic control can be installed enabling theOperator to start and stop the motor andpump from a distance. Float switches andpressure regulators are also used to automatic-ally start and stop the pump. Pumping for irrigation driven by ElectricMotors was first started in Sutter County inthe year 1911 and proved a great successwhen about 200 horsepower was year over 800 horsepower additionalwill be installed, and it is safe to say thatthis will be doubled next year, as the land israpidly being subdivided in Sutter and YubaCounties. The Electric Motors can be supplied toall classes of farm and dairy every building and residence can be pro-vided with electric current for lighting andappliance purposes, and which is being speci-ally developed.
