	C. P. Steinmetz
		Charles Proteus Steinmetz, the mathematical wizard of the early electrical industry, was born in Breslau, Germany, in 1865.
		Steinmetz found employment as a draftsman for Eickemeyer and Osterheld, a Yonkers-based electrical manufacturer, and was soon established in an experimental laboratory of his own.
		Steinmetz, however, having been given the task of calculating and designing an alternating-current commutator motor, and wishing to calculate the hysteresis loss, derived the law of hysteresis mathematically from existing data.

	Charles Proteus Steinmetz
		Charles Proteus Steinmetz (April 9, 1865-October 26, 1923) was born in Breslau, Silesia, Germany.

	Charles Proteus Steinmetz Summary
		Charles Steinmetz was born Karl August Rudolf Steinmetz on April 9, 1865, in Breslau.
		Steinmetz was always far ahead of his colleagues in mathematical skills, and few in his lecture's audience understood the brilliance of his ideas about magnetism and alternating current circuits.
		Steinmetz was able to promote his peculiar combination of conservative and radical views because of his public status as an electrical wizard, a new breed of scientific researcher that replaced cut-and-try inventors such as Thomas Edison.

		Steinmetz's first important research was on the phenomenon of hysteresis, by which power is lost because of magnetic resistance.
		Steinmetz's last research was on lightning, which threatened to disrupt the new AC power lines.
		Without Charles Steinmetz's development of theories of alternating current, the expansion of the electric power industry in the United States in the early 20th century would have been impossible, or at least greatly delayed.

	Patent-Invent: Charles Proteus Steinmetz
		Steinmetz' experiments on power losses in the magnetic materials used in electrical machinery led to his first important work, the law of hysteresis.
		Steinmetz' third major scientific achievement was in the study and theory of electrical transients - that is, changes in electrical circuits of very short duration.
		A prime example of this phenomenon is lightning, and Steinmetz' investigation of lightning phenomena resulted in his theory of traveling waves and opened the way for his development of devices to protect high-power transmission lines from lightning bolts.

		Charles P. Steinmetz was born in Breslau, Germany (now Poland) on April 9, 1865 and was christened Carl August Rudolph Steinmetz.
		Charles was physically handicapped by a deformed left leg, humped back, and miniature stature which he inherited from his father's genes; but he was compensated by a brilliant mind, fabulous memory, congenial personality, intensity, and a great zest for life.
		Charles P. Steinmetz placed high priority on helping his fellow man, and this led him during his student days to embrace socialism, which was the rage among students.

		Steinmetz later reflected upon his three most important achievements: his investigation of magnetism, his development of a practical method of making calculations with alternating current systems, and his general study and theory of electrical transients.
		Steinmetz's mathematical background led him to complex numbers as a means of reducing the ac theory to practical calculations.
		Steinmetz was to teach the GE engineers his new methods of ac system calculations, improve their transformer design practice, and apply his knowledge of magnetism to motors and generators.

	RETURN TO INDEX
		Steinmetz became idolized by his lab boys, not only because of what they learned from him, not only because he was gentle and considerate in personal relations, but in addition because he was their champion before management.
		Steinmetz was far and away the most popular man ever to have joined the faculty and the students devised many ways of displaying their regard and affection.
		Steinmetz was not a familiar figure in these squalid blocks, and the people who spent all their waking hours in a fierce struggle for life's essentials could not know or care for another man's renown.

	Inventor of the Week: Archive
		Steinmetz, who altered his name in an effort to become more "American," began researching the laws of magnetic hysteresis, which refers to the delay in the change of the magnetic field that occurs each time the alternating current that creates this field reverses, resulting in loss of power.
		Steinmetz established a fundamental law of magnetism known as the "Law of Hysteresis" (or, "Steinmetz's Law") that was published in the American Institute of Electrical Engineering's "Electrical Engineer" magazine in 1892.
		In 1977 Steinmetz was posthumously inducted into the National Inventor's Hall of Fame, cited for his invention of a "System of Distribution by Alternating Currents" (U.S. Patent No. 533,244).
