These guys are installed in the circuits to limit the amount of current fed to a fault.

The brass colored lines are called mimics and represent the electrical circuits . They are used on a control panel to show the path of the electric flow from one circuit or piece of equipment to another. Different colored mimics designate different voltages; brass may be 13,800 volts, red mimics may designate 2300 volts and green mimics 440 volts. Silver represents a very high voltage; 138,000 volts and higher. The wavy looking symbols are transformers. Transformers step up or step down voltages through a series of electrical windings. The mimics on this panel all look to be representing the same voltage.

US frequency is based on 60HZ or 60 cycles. Most generating units operate at 3600 RPM or 60x60; that is 60 cycles per second times 60 seconds in a minute.

You are looking at the brush rigging for a three phase exciter that supplies field current to the generator windings.

I live in Mississippi and have worked at several steam electric power plants, some of which we very huge. The oldest one that I worked at was built in 1947 and was abandoned, but we had to do a maintenance check anyway. Very majestic and creepy at the same time. It's strange to think about how bustling and active they were in their heydays.
