| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | On the north side of the city the Edison Company has one subsidiary steam plant, formerly known as the "Newberry Library Plant," a name derived from its proximity to the above-named building. The proximity in location is, in fact, almost identity, for the station appears to be a part of the same structure. This plant is rather small, but deceptive in appearance, for it is quite well filled with apparatus, there being both generators and rotary converters installed. In its history and present capacity it is very much like the Twenty-seventh Street Station, previously described. Twelve hundred and seventy-five horsepower in Heine boilers supply four vertical, cross-compound Lake Erie engines, one of one hundred and fifty horse-power and three of two hundred and twenty-five
horse-power each. To these engines are coupled two 50-kilowatt, 135-volt, direct-current generators and six
75-kilowatt, 135-volt, direct-current generators. These generators are balanced on the two sides of the three-wire system and are employed in their present capacity as "Peak" machinery. This is one of the few substations where there are to be found remnants of the original rotary converter installation, the company's first venture in converting apparatus and high-tension transmission. Two 100-kilowatt, 125-volt rotarles, one operating on each side of the three-wire system, also operating in parallel with the 250-volt, 500-kilowatt rotary, complete the substation
equipment. |
