Sub-stationsare located at Westboro, Marlboro and Wellesley Hills. Current is generated in the Framingham power stationat 13,200 volts, and transmitted as follows: One 3-phasecircuit of No. 2 copper, 11.63 miles to Westboro, sub-station No. 1; one 3-phase circuit of No. 2 copper, 8.23miles, to Marlboro, sub-station No. 3; one 3-phase circuitof No. 000, 9.96 miles, to Wellesley Hills, sub-station No.2.
