POWER TRANSMISSION INTRODUCTION The subject of electrical power transmission is a very broadone as it deals with the transmission and distribution of electricalenergy, as generated by the dynamo or alternating-current generator,to the receivers. The receivers may be lamps, motors, electrolyticcells, etc. Electrical distribution of power is better than othersystems on account of its superior flexibility, efficiency, and effective-ness; and we find it taking the place of other methods in all but afew applications. For some purposes the problem is comparativelysimple, while for other purposes, such as supplying
