The cur- rents produced in an electric supply line by the generators in the power house, are also alternating currenta, but their rate of alternation from positive to negative is comparatively slow, y being about 60 times a condenser—a_ device consisting of alternate layers of con ducting and insulating material—is connected between the radio receiv. ing set and the electric light wire, no damage to the fuses and the ap paratus can result.
