Electrical news and engineering . Niagara Iowciin NiW Town—Streets Light»<l by Tungstens. 52 THE ELECTRICAL NEWS future expansion. From Berlin to New Hanil)urK the volt-age is ; the transmission wires are stranded aluminum,about 107,00(1 circular mils cross section. The New Hamburg Station. All high tension wires inside this sub-station are soli<laluminum J^-in. diam. The usual lightning protection of horngaps and electro-. Wooden Rack, Supporting High Tension Wires lytic arresters is installed within the station just below theline entrances. The main lines also carry choke-coils. Thecurrent then passes through oil-switches to three single-phase, 75 kw. transformers; these are delta connected onboth sides. Before reaching the main transformers themain lines energize two small transformers which operatean overload relay for opening the oil-switches in case ofline surges, .short circuits, etc. The switchboard is a three-panel blue Vermont marble type, supplied with ammeters,voltmeters, power factor meter, integrating wattmeter anda recording wattmeter. Four three-wire. 2,200 volt distributinglines pass out of the station to serve different sections ofthe town with light and power. The accompanying photographs will give a fair idea
