Abstract
The predecessor of the huge modern central station is the Edison direct-current three-wire station, which was developed 20 years ago. By a system of feeders and mains, direct current was distributed at 220-volts from a station located at the center of power demand. When the limit of economical distribution from a single station was reached, additional stations were built, and all the stations connected by tie-lines.
