Asthe full load current of the 3754 motor generator set aloneis 150 amperes, it becomes very clear that the existing stationcapacity is ample to handle the present service besides a largefuture increase. Since the tests it has been found necessary to operate onlythe one largest unit, and the former practice of running all threesets has accordingly been discontinued. The result has beenimproved operating economy, efficiency and load factor. In spiteot a suspected insufficient station capacity, it was demonstrated 1 style No. A4A06.
