Over a The present lighting output is about 4000 kw-hours daily, in-cluding 250 city lights, a three-wire, three-phase incandescentsystem operating at 110 volts, besides several hundred horse-power of a. c. motors. It was not desirable to install separategenerating apparatus for these various systems, especially asit was figured that the lighting load would have a steadyingeffect upon the regulation of the entire load. It was thereforenecessary to install frequency changers, changing the lighting Counter Weight Hoist MotorTravel Mot.
