The cache is placed near a waterfall and an old powerstation. It’s
not without danger to be in the area. Steep cliffs, please, be
careful.
Cachen er plassert nær en foss og en gammel kraftstasjon. Her er
bratte partier og det kan være farlig å ferdes i området. Vennligst
vær forsiktig.
Brufossen powerstation was delivering electric power in the period
1915 to 1950 to 22 farms. From the beginning 200 lamps and some
heaters were installated. If you wanted another lamp the capacity
was so marginal that other consumers had to give up one of their
lamps. Technical the dam was made of timberboxes bolted to the
bedrock and a pipeline was burst 25 meters through the bedrock with
6 meters high of fall. The 25 kW direct current generator delivered
2 X 220 Volt.
After 1950, the company Nord-Østerdal Kraftlag took over the
powersupply to the farms but the small powerstation continued the
supply to a sawmill nearby 10 more years. Then it was over.
To day the powerstation is a museum with its own supporter
society.
Brufossen elektrisitetsverk leverte strøm fra 1915 til 1950 til i
alt 22 garder. Fra start var det installert 200 lamper og noen
varmeovner. Ville du ha en lampe ekstra, var kapasiteten så sprengt
at du måtte få en av de andre abonnenter til å avgi en av sine
lamper.
Teknisk besto demningen av tømra kister boltet til fjellet og en
rørgate var sprengt 25 meter gjennom fjellet med 6 meters
fallhøyde. Turbinen dro en likestrømsgenerator på 25 kW og leverte
2 x 220 V.
Etter 1950 overtok NordØsterdal kraftlag elforsyningen til gardene
mens det vesle elverket stadig leverte strøm til den nærliggende
sag 10 år til. Da var det slutt.
I dag er verket museum med egen venneforening.
