We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

ELECTRICAL CONDUCTORS 71 taking current through rheostat B from a circuit attached to one of the house circuits. (34) When this system is charged with ordinary commercial voltage, we may draw circuits from the street mains at any point, or we may attach motors, lamps and other equipment to wires connected with the mains at any required point. The wires, switches, fuses, etc., must be large enough to carry the current without overload. Three-Wire System The 3-wire system is the most widely used for distribution of current for light, heat and power. It is diagrammatically illustrated in Fig. 17. (35) It is based on the principle that if two generators are connected in series — that is to say the positive pole of one is joined to the negative pole of the other — the voltage of the two generators will be added together, so that lines attached t"»*>.

Thus: (36) if two 110 volt generators are joined, the outside negative and positive would have a potential difference of 220 volts. (37) If we attach a third wire to the connection between the inner generator poles, C, Fig. 17, then that line (termed the "neutral" wire) will act as positive for one generator as if there were but one generator and negative for the other
