Lighting System At Panama Canal To Guide Night Navigation
The Boston Commercial notes a Panama Canal lighting plan featuring a double row of about six buoys at entrances and Gatun lake with lanterns reaching 12 miles. Each light has distinct flashes for identification, aiding night navigation. The project links to Miraflores with a high voltage line and builds a station adjacent to the Gatun north wall, using modular units with independent heads, penstocks, and generators. Each vertical turbine unit produces 2250 kW at 260 rpm, with a 2000 kW generator delivering 2200 V three phase current.
