Electrical news and engineering . almers Company of Milwaukee for another customer. However, they were suitable for the hydraulic conditions at 1 alabogie ami were utilized with practically no chan ri The remainder of power house electrical equipment is j- I. till i\\ - : ingle phase, on cycle, oil-filled water-cooled transformers, stepping up from 6,600 vol \ oil - ator, exciter, transformer, and line panels. Tirrillregulator, lead cove red , electrically operated remote THE ELECTRICAL NEWS October I, 1919 control oil circuit breakers, H. T. wiring, disconnectingswitches, electrolytic lighting arresters, choke coils, etc. This electrical equipment was all furnished by the VVest-inghouse Electric & Mfg. Company, who had built it origin-ally to the order of another customer. It had, however, neverleft the factory until shipped to Calabogie, The step-up transformers and H. T. switching equipmentwere designed for 66,000 volts and some slight changes werenei essary to adapt them for use at 33,000 volts, This was. Racks and gantry operating gates. Log chut; at the righteasily and simply done and resulted in securing double theusual factor of safety upon all the high tension equipment. Besides the above the Moloney Electric Company ofCanada furnished three 125 , oil filled, self-cooled trans-formers. 6600 to 110/220 volts for power house lighting andheating and supply of power for motors on the auxiliaries. A small Ingersoll-Rand compressor was installed forcleaning purposes. Transmission Lines The main transmission line is a 33,000 volt, 3 phase line,14 miles to Renfrew. There are three No. 4 B. & S. harddrawn, bare copper conductors; a telephone circuit of No. galvanized iron and one overhead grounded wire forlightning protection, consisting of one 7-strand galvanized9/32 cable. An interesting point in connection with thiscable is the very simple and inexpensive means used for itssupport. On all straight runs it is tied to two 3/8 x 5 lagscrews driven
