Examination of possible utilization of 3-phase a-c system at potential of 400 v; methods of installing either 3 or 4-wire distribution systems; to obtain maximum advantage for a-c installation, it is essential that squirrel cage motors should be fitted wherever possible in preference to wound motor or synchronous types; method of speed control for special services; relative costs of d-c and a-c installations.
