Excerpt from Alternating Current Machinery, Part I, Vol. 1: Instruction Paper
For a general system of power transmission electricity stands without a rival. The electric current passes over wires which are stationary, and which may be easily bent in turning corners and in avoiding obstructions. Wires are easily supported in various ways. Most important of all, the cost of electric transmission lines is relatively small, the power lost is small, and' the deprecia tion and maintenance charges against the lines are also relatively small. Moreover, electric power may be turned on, shut off, and controlled by devices that are more positive in action, more rapid and satisfactory in their operation, than those which must be used when other methods of transmitting power are employed. The apparatus for the control and protection of electrical machinery is simpler, more compact, and more reliable on the whole than that required for other systems of power transmission. Electrical transmission over long distances is thus more economical, more flexible, more easily adapted to a variety of uses, and withal more convenient, than any other system.
