Voltage standardization: Its relation to the interconnected power companies of the Southeast

Voltage standardization has long been recognized as desirable, and to date no definite standards have been accepted and applied. An attempt is now being made to coordinate the recommendations of the different power companies and manufacturers with a view towards adopting definite voltage standards for all apparatus. A proposal has recently been submitted by the manufacturers which is not applicable in its entirety to conditions in the Southeast, and this paper contains a counter-proposal submitted as being more readily acceptable to the interconnected power systems of the Southeast.
