Excerpt from Application of the Aluminum Cell for Voltage Regulation of Alternators

One familiar with the operation of the modern power plant, which supplies all or a portion of its power to incandescent lighting, realizes fully the importance of good voltage regula tion for this work. The value of good regulation in its rela tion to the life of an incandescent lamp is shown by tests which have been made with ordinary carbon filament lamps. It has been found that with the voltage 1% above normal, the life of the lamp is decreased while its candle power is increased only 6% above normal. Should the potential be raised 5% above normal, the consequent reduction in the life of the lamp would be while the increase of candle power would be only 337. Again re ducing the voltage 2%'below normal increases the life while the candle power is in turn, lowered ll%.
