New Safety Device Offsets Sabotage
CHICAGO June Arete jean Institute of Electrical Engineers announced a new noise free safety device called a limiter. Developed by J O M Wallace of Westinghouse, it can snuff out 34 000 kilowatts of power matching 70 000 horsepower. The device creates a secondary network with two circuits so if one is sabotaged or shorted the other maintains power to keep machines running. Limiters in tests cut 33 000 kilowatts of armanmentary short circuit energy quietly. The limiter delays action until short circuit power grows, then can halt current in a sixtieth of a second to allow a replacement.
