Book Description
Excerpt from Canadian Electrical News and Engineering Journal, 1900, Vol. 10 In this connection it is well to call attention to the fact that alternating arc lamps, particularly of the ih closed type, are now in a fairly satisfactory state, and that the series arc is being very largely replaced by con stent-potential arcs, often inclosed, working off the ord lhary lighting system. It therefore appears probable that special devices for are lighting will form a less troublesome feature of transmission work than hitherto. The induction motor has come into wider and wider use as transmission plants have increased in number, and particularly the larger sizes have been well developed. These very large induction motors are particularly valu able for hard service and starting with considerable loads, although in view of the value of synchronous motors in improving the power factor of transmission plants, these latter machines are not likely to be entirely superseded.
