Power grid
Interactions
- click a house, the bakery or the tram: its load switches; the rotor slows, the lamps dip, and the governor opens the needle until 50 Hz returns
- click the tap selector on the transformer: the line runs at 3.3 kV for a while; its current rises, the wires heat and sag, most of the power is lost and the town goes dim
- click the dam gate: it lowers and restricts the water; the frequency sags until the governor makes up for it and the gate rises again
- click a pylon: lightning strikes it, the breaker trips and the town goes dark; the generator races, then the breaker recloses after about four seconds
