Voltage on the Ontario Hydro electrical grid will be reduced at three intervals dur- ing the day. Testing the power distribution grid in this way helps to ensure that in the event of a generation emergency (such as the breakdown of a large generating unit), there will be no power interruptions. For most customers, the effect of these reduc- tions will be imperceptible. In the morning, from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., voltage will be reduced three per cent. Between the hours of 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m., and again from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., voltage will be reduced five per cent. A tive per cent reduction in voltage distributed over the Hydra system is equivalent to reducing approximately 500)000 kilowatts of electricity demand. That is' the output of a single Pickering reactor and, if needed, is enough to meet the elec- tricity needs of more than 180,000 homes. Data collected from this test will also help Hydro locate and resolve potential operating or customer problems. Hydro conducts a voltage reduction test once a year. James R.
