The following table gives the details of the generators installed in
the principal public utility and Government power stations:

As can be seen from the above table the greatest demand by the
public-utility companies and the Government is for generators of
between 100 and 1,000 kilovolt amperes capacity. Smaller sizes
(under 100 kilovolt amperes capacity) are installed chiefly by private
industries. Generators of from 1,000 to 2,000 kilovolt amperes capa-
city are also in fairly good demand, while sizes of greater kilovolt
amperes capacity are rarely installed. The largest generators in-
stalled in the Netherland East Indies are the two Smit machines,
each of 8,000 kilovolt amperes capacity, which are installed in the
Government hydroelectric station at Lamadjan.
Most of the Government orders for generators are placed with
Dutch firms, although in 1922 and 1923 an American firm was success-
ful in securing orders for six generators of 1,500 kilovolt amperes
capacity each. The most important private industries appear to
favor Siemens Schuchert and Oerlikon generators.
SWITCH GEAR
There is a marked preference for indoor switchgear of the conven-
tional European type, and most of this equipment installed in central
stations and other power plants is of German or Dutch manufacture,
the former predominating. This is due to the fact that the engineers
in charge of electrical installations in the islands are graduates of
European technical schools and have standardized on Kuropean
equipment. Some American switch gear has been installed in central
power stations. Although some of French and English manufacture
have been installed, it is even less popular than the American make.
During the last few years numerous tests have been made with
outdoor switch gear, and it is expected that the demand for this type
will show an increase in the future. Since the best results thus far
have been obtained with American equipment, it is believed that the
United States will profit most from any increase in this trade. Aside
from the American products, the remainder has been supplied by
German manufacturers, principally A. E. G.
