DuringMay the output of this plant was about 1,350 kw, so that power re-quired for the field is less than i per cent, of the total. The modestrequirement of energy for the field is in part due to the fact that theload is nearly all of synchronous motors, except for some comparatively few induction motors in use are small and do not STafon hare FIG. 3.—\NS OF ST.\TION OF COLUMBUS POWER COMP-VNY .-XND OFTHE BIBB M.\NUFACTURING COMP.\NY PLANT. large heavy cylin
