[고2] 2025년 03월 – 41~42번: 전기 시스템 도입 초기 공장들의 자가발전 유지

 

In 1900, at the close of the first decade in which electric systems had become a practical alternative for manufacturers, less than 5 percent of the power used in factories came from electricity. But the technological advances of suppliers made electric systems and electric motors ever more affordable and reliable, and the suppliers' intensive marketing programs also sped the adoption of the new technology. Further accelerating the shift was the rapid expansion in the number of skilled electrical engineers, who provided the expertise needed to install and run the new systems. In short order, electric power had gone from exotic to commonplace. But one thing didn't change. Factories continued to build their own power-supply systems on their own premises. Few manufacturers considered buying electricity from the small central stations. Designed to supply lighting to local homes and shops, the central stations had neither the size nor the skill to serve the needs of big factories. And the factory owners, having always supplied their own power, were loath to assign such a critical function to an outsider. They knew that a glitch in power supply would bring their operations to a halt ─ and that a lot of glitches might well mean bankruptcy. As the new century began, a survey found that there were already 50,000 private electric plants in operation, far surpassing the 3,600 central stations.

주장	1900년경 공장 전력의 5% 미만이 전기로 공급되었음	In 1900, at the close of the first decade in which electric systems had become a practical alternative for manufacturers, less than 5 percent of the power used in factories came from electricity.
근거	기술 발전과 전기 시스템의 신뢰성 향상으로 채택 가속화	But the technological advances of suppliers made electric systems and electric motors ever more affordable and reliable, and the suppliers' intensive marketing programs also sped the adoption of the new technology.
전환	숙련된 전기 엔지니어 수 증가로 전환 가속화	Further accelerating the shift was the rapid expansion in the number of skilled electrical engineers, who provided the expertise needed to install and run the new systems.
예시	전기는 이국적에서 일상적으로 변화	In short order, electric power had gone from exotic to commonplace.
반박	공장들은 자체 전력 공급 시스템을 계속 구축	But one thing didn't change. Factories continued to build their own power-supply systems on their own premises.
근거	중앙 발전소는 대형 공장 요구를 충족할 능력 부족	Few manufacturers considered buying electricity from the small central stations. Designed to supply lighting to local homes and shops, the central stations had neither the size nor the skill to serve the needs of big factories.
근거	공장주들은 전력 공급 중단이 운영에 미치는 영향 우려	And the factory owners, having always supplied their own power, were loath to assign such a critical function to an outsider. They knew that a glitch in power supply would bring their operations to a halt ─ and that a lot of glitches might well mean bankruptcy.
증거	1900년 조사에서 50,000개의 개인 전력 설비 운영 확인	As the new century began, a survey found that there were already 50,000 private electric plants in operation, far surpassing the 3,600 central stations.

 

 

마지막 도표에서 private plants와 central stations의 위치가 서로 바뀌어야 하네요ㅠ.ㅠ

9	They knew that a glitch in power supply would bring their operations to a halt ─ and that a lot of glitches might well mean bankruptcy.	They knew that a glitch in power supply would bring their operations to a halt ─ and that a lot of glitches might well mean bankruptcy.
10	As the new century began, a survey found that there were already 50,000 private electric plants in operation, far surpassing the 3,600 central stations.	“In the early years,” as Louis Hunter puts it, “the presumption would be that a manufacturer electrifying his machinery would use his own power plant.” That presumption is evident in the statistics. As the new century began, a survey by the Census Bureau found that there were already 50,000 private electric plants in operation, far outstripping the 3,600 central stations.
