Imprint: vol. 8, no. 8, Aug 1936, pp. 306-310
Description: Abstract of paper, No.552, which originated in the Adelaide Division of The Institution.
Abstract: Rural transmission in South Australia presents a problem differing very markedly from similar works in most other parts of the world. The difference is both economic and technical; the first tending to increase the difficulties, whilst the second makes the solution possible.
In the area at present supplied by the Adelaide Electric Supply Co., Ltd., there are, outside the metropolitan area of Adelaide, three municipalities with about 1,400, 1,600, and 4,800 inhabitants, respectively, and a total population of 56,000 in an area of 3000 square miles. The total number of consumers at present connected is 6,250, representing about one-half of the population of 56,000.
