46 CONSTANT-VOLTAGE TRANSMISSION 



In March, 1914, the city of Winnipeg, Canada, de- 

 cided to install two 6,ooo-Kva. synchronous phase mod- 

 ifiers, to be controlled by automatic voltage regulators, 

 in order that they could increase the power capacity of 

 their lines to take care of a rapidly growing load, without 

 going to the much greater expense of building duplicate 

 transmission lines. The distance of transmission is 

 77 miles, the voltage 66,000, and the frequency 60 cycles. 



It is desired to refer, also, to the following papers by 

 the author, which have presented many of the facts de- 

 scribed in the present work:

 June, 1913.

 nal, p. 838, September, 1913.
