Power supply to distribution substations in wartime

THE purposes of this symposium in relating distribution engineering to the present war emergency have been fully introduced and set forth in the opening paper so that further elaboration will be unnecessary here. As indicated by the title, the discussion in this paper will be confined principally to transmission substations and subtransmission lines, all as a means of supplying distribution substations. An attempt will be made to explore ways and means by which more capacity can be obtained from a given amount of material and labor, both in existing facilities as well as in the design and construction of new facilities.
