In addition to the main transformerequipment, each substation will be fur-nished with a standard 10-kw., 3-phasetransformer stepping down from 2,300 to110 volts for lighting and auxiliary powercircuits. For operating the railway signal cir-cuits, a standard 25-kw., single-phasetransformer is being installed in eachsubstation stepping up from 2,300 to 4,400volts. A portable oil drying outfit willbe used for removing moisture from thetransformer oil. This outfit consists ofa motor-driven pump which forces theoil through an especially designed filter.
