Theseexciters can also be used for charging thecontrol battery. Distribution Scheme. On account of the great distance, thecurrent is transmitted at a voltage of 44,000from the power stations to both ends ofthe canal. The step-up transformers are,however, not located in the power plants,but in substations in their vici&ities; there-fore, the power plants generate and distrib
