Section A ALooking Kast CHICAGO SUBSTATION—FIG. 4—INCOMING HIGH-TENSIONCABLES AND CONNECTION TO BUSES railway buses are sectionalized for each rotary. Fromthe lighting and railway buses the connections passthrough the oil switches, down through the floor infiber pipes and across in opposite directions underneaththe floor to the transformers (see Fig. 2). Both thelighting and the railway transformers are placed in thebasement with the terminals projecting through anopening in the floor above. On the lighting side of thestation the connections extend from the transformerbeneath the floor and up through oil switches to the4000-volt, three-phase buses and secondary feeder,switching and regulating apparatus. On the railway side, the low-tension terminals of thetransformers are connected, by means of bar copper,directly to the starting panels located at the edge of theopenings in the floor over the transformers. The start-ing panel for each machine is thus placed in front of themachine
