Abstract :
The third meeting of the Power Group of the Chicago Section was held February 12, 1930. Mr. L. R. Janes, of the Public Service Company of Northern Illinois presented a paper on Load Division in Transmission Networks before a group of about 100 engineers of Chicago and the vicinity. After a brief introduction consisting of a review of operating characteristics of high-voltage transmission lines, Mr. Janes outlined a simplified procedure which can be used to obtain the division of load in a complicated high-voltage network such as exists in the Chicago region. The paper was well illustrated by numerous slides and vector diagrams. Mr. Janes stated that the test results obtained on typical cases showed that the precision of results obtained by the simplified methods was ample for practical purposes.
