Line Voltage Standards

摘要

It is precisely the sort of thing advocated by Mr. L.T. Thomasson, PE, in the June issue of Power Engineering (p. 7) that injures us as a profession and industry. The electrical power industry is involved in the conversion of energy from one form to another, and the delivery of this energy to customers. Mr. Thomasson apparently does not understand the basics of such devices as incandescent light bulbs. If an incandescent bulb is operated at a lower voltage, the lumens of light produced decrease markedly, and the overall power consumption per lumen of light produced goes up.
