Relative Weight of Copper Required in Different Direct current, ordinary two-wire system.. three-wire system, all wires same size 66 neutral one-half size 1.000 .375 .313 Alternating current, single-phase two-wire, and two-phase four-wire 1.000 Two-phase three-wire, voltage between outer and middle wire same as in single-phase two-wire. 729 1.457 .750 .333 The weight of copper is inversely proportional to the squares of the voltages, other things being equal. The maximum value of an alternating e.m.f. is 1.41 times its effective rating. For derivation of the above figures, see Crocker's Electric Lighting, vol. ii. STANDARD SIZES OF ELECTRICAL MACHINES.

From 2 to 360 kw. the machines are wound for 240 volts; from 72 to 1200 kw. for 480 volts; from 72 to 2700 kw. for 2300 volts; from 540 to 2700 kw.some machines are wound for 6600 volts. The kw. ratings in the above table are based on the load that may be carried without a rise in temperature of any part exceeding 40° C. above the surrounding atmosphere when running continuously with non-inductive full load. An overload of 25%, non-inductive, may be carried for two hours without heating more than 55° C. When full non inductive load is thrown off, with fixed normal excitation, the voltage will rise approximately 8%. When full load with 80% power factor is thrown off, with fixed excitation, the rise will be approximately 22% A rating one-sixth less is given all machines for a rise of temperature not exceeding 35°C. above surrounding atmosphere.
