Abstract :
One of the numerous features of more than usual interest of the Safe Harbor hydroelectric development is the use of Kaplan turbines having automatically adjustable blades. This type of turbine is used in all of the 6 units of the initial installation, each rated at 42,500 hp under a rated head of 55 ft. Engineering studies in connection with these units required the construction of a new hydraulic laboratory for testing model turbines.
