About this book
Electric Transmission of Water Power is a book by Alton D. Adams. A table gives the percentages of energy delivered in different months of 1901, from 33.1 in February to 100.0 in December. For one plant, the text gives the largest monthly output of energy as November, taken at 100 per cent.
The text says that increase of the regular line voltage requires a lengthening of the aggregate air-gap in lightning arresters to prevent the formation of arcs by this voltage alone. The text says that where structures 75 to 150 or more feet in height are necessary to carry a span across a waterway, steel is generally more desirable than wood because poles of such lengths are not readily obtainable.
