  • Abstract
    The possibilities are investigated of lowering the cost of electric distribution in residential areas by using distribution transformers larger than required for thermal reasons to control voltage flicker; banking secondary mains to control voltage flicker; and using aluminum conductors instead of copper. The conclusion is reached that all three of These have a place in designing today´s electric distribution systems.
