At Kelleys Falls two-phase current is generated at6,000 volts and transmitted to the Manchester sub-station, whereit is changed into three-phase current at 2,080 volts. By means oftransformers located at the Manchester sub-station the voltage ofthe current from the water power plants is reduced so that itreaches the switchboard at the same ootential as current from thealternating generators in the Manchester steam driven plant (known.

A portion of the current generated at each station is used in theimmediate vicinity of that station, but in order to secure the greal-c»l liciicfils from the single ownership the five stations have beenlied together by ample feeder lines, so that they all feed into onecommon sub-station at Manchester, where the current is transformedand «cnt out
