This paper sets forth briefly two general procedures that may be followed in starting the system of the Philadelphia Electric Company after a complete shutdown, and also gives some experiences relating to re-establishing service. There is also included an outline of some of the major principles of design followed in the development of the system which are important in minimizing the chance of a complete system shutdown and in facilitating restoration of service in the event of a complete outage.
