Hardly a consumer that was not afraid of those words in the original proposed sched ule. They were supposed to be the thing that was to "get him." Instead of that they are the thing that really does things for him, if he uses more than the minimum of cur rent, which Is $1.00 worth. Based on a connected load, every consumer's minimum current Is different accord ing to his installation. The $1.00 Is the same. The residence rate asked for by the companies was: First 30 kilowatt hours per month 10c each All over 30 kilowatt hours 8c each For connected load of one kilowatt or less. First 50 kilowatt hours per month 10c each All over 50 kilowatt hours. .. . 8q each Where connected load was over one kilowatt. Minimum of $1.00. Flatirons, toast ers, sewing machine motors not in cluded in connected load. Cooking rate 5 cents per kilowatt hour per month, separate meter, mini mum $1.00. The residence rate agreed upon was: First 15 kilowatt hours per month 10c each Next 15 kilowatt hours per month 8c each Next 15 kilowatt hours per . month 5c each All the rest at 3c each No connected load to be considered less than one kilowatt. Flat Irons, toasters, sewing machine motors.cook lng ranges not Included in connected load. All on one meter. Minimum of $1.00. Where cooking range is used additional minimum of $1.00. Option al with consumer to place cooking range on meter at 5c per kilowatt hour. The residence rate ordered by the Commission is: First 15 kilowatt hour8 per month 10c each Next 15 kilowatt hours per month 8c each Nxt 15 kilowatt hours per month , 5c each All the rest at 3c each Based on actual connected load. Flatirons, toasters or any domestic appliances not included In connected cooking range is used additional mini mum of $1.00. It may help to understand these rates when the customer keeps In mind that his connected load is the combined capacity of all the lamps which he has Installed: In other words, it is the size of his Installation of lamps, or to be more exact It Is the sum of the capacity of all his lamps. For commercial lighting the com panies asked for 10c for the first 60 kilowatt hours based on one kilowatt connected load. The agreement was for the first 45 kilowatt hours at 10c and all over 45 kilowatt hours at 6c. For the benefit of those who wish to know what a connected load is. will you please publish the following and help them to do so? A kilowatt hour Is the amount of current burned by 25 40-watt tungs ten lamps in one hour, or It Is the cur rent burned by 40 25-watt lamps in one hour, or by 10 60-watt lamps and 5 40-watt lamps and 8 25-watt lamps in one hour. Kxample 25 times 40 is loon; 40 times 25 is 1000; 10 times 60 is 600 plua 5 times 40 equalling 200 plus 8 times 25 equalling 200, thus 600 plus 200 plus 200 equals 1000. One kilowatt is 1000 watts. Remember always that a 16 candle power carbon filament lamp burns 56 to 60 watts per hour, and a 40 watt tungsten lamp burns 40 watts per hour. The 16 candle power lamp gives 16 candle power, the 40 watt lamp gives 32 candle power. The consumer should remember this In fig uring his connected load that all new type lamps are rated in watts and the wattg of each lamp are the consider ation In making up the connected load. How to Find Connected Load Take your bulbs one by one and put on paper the rating in watts from the label of each lamp. Add these watts together. Say you have a total of 560 watts. Tour connected loud Is .56 kil owatt. How are you to be charged for current? The rates are: First 15 kilowatt hours per kilo watt of connected load 10c Next IS kilowatt hours per kilo watt of connected load 8c Next l." kilowatt hours per kilo watt of connected load 5c All the rest nc Domestic appliances are not Includ ed In connected load. One kilowatt II looo watts. Now the consumer having the con nected load of .56 kilowatts or 560 watts does not have to burn 13 kilo watt hours at 10 cents, 8 cents, 5 cents and balance at 3 cents, but he burns .56 times 15 whi u is 8 4 each at 10 cents, 8 cents, 6 tt-iits and bal ance at 3 cents. One kilowatt of connected load will burn one kilowatt hour In one hour. Meters register kilowatt hours. HOOD K1VF.K OOMMEW lAL CLUB, It, E. SCOTT, Secretary.
