There are two powerhouses on each river side. This image shows the generators on the Nevada side, the turbines are situated below. In total there are the following turbines: 13×130 MW, 2×127 MW, 1×68.5 MW, 1×61.5 MW Francis-type, and 2×2.4 MW Pelton-type. The total power is 2080 MW, which is a lot more than the biggest nuclear power plant in Germany, which is Isar/Ohu 2 with 1485 MW - and it's renewable energy! This image ends the series about Hoover Dam. (Scanned slide, Minolta X700) HFF and a sunny weekend,my friends! Stay safe and take care!

Hydro Power Plant Arnstein, one of the 3 Voith high pressure Francis Turbines, 10 MW power, built 1924, in operation.

Each block of Francis turbines and generators has 10 MW and 13000 kVA. The generator in the foreground is by Siemens & Schuckert, the two in the background by Elin. The image looks "silent", but it's incredible loud inside this hall and all is vibrating.

One of the three Voith-Francis-turbines, each with 10 MW, from 1924.
