Abstract :
The installation of the first supercharged generator at the Edgewater plant of the Wisconsin Power and Light Company in Sheboygan, Wis., has been announced by the Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing Company, Milwaukee, Wis. This new design 60,000-kw 12,500-volt 3,600-rpm steam turbine driven generator was installed in midsummer and is now in operation. It embodies a new principle which saves 30 to 40 per cent of the material of a normal 60,000-kw machine.
