		Actually the first practical AC transformer was developed by Frenchman Lucien Gaulard and Englishman John Gibbs; improvements were made at the Ganz company in Budapest.
		He brought out the parallel connection in which the transformers are connected in parallel, across the constant-potential alternating-current system, instead of being arranged in series, as in the Gaulard and Gibbs connection.
		He obtained patents on the method, involving the construction of transformers in which the counter electromotive force generated in the primary coil of the transformer was practically equal to the electromotive force of the supply circuit.

	Alternating current (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		His design was an early precursor of the modern transformer, called an induction coil.
		From 1881 to 1889, the system used today was devised by Nikola Tesla, George Westinghouse, Lucien Gaulard, John Gibbs, and Oliver Shallenger.
		These systems overcame the limitations imposed by using direct current, as found in the system that Thomas Edison first used to distribute electricity commercially.

		The introduction in the field of industrial electrical engineering of the first effective devices for the long distance transmission of alternating current electrical energy, by varying at will the two fundamental parameters, voltage and current, is due to the french Lucien Gaulard (1850-88).
		By these devices, later called transformers, along with Galileo Ferraris's rotating field motor, started the development of the applications of alternating currents, basis of modern electrical engineering.

		Avec le recul de l'histoire, il apparaît clairement que la France s'est trompée de gloire nationale : Gaulard est le père de la technologie du courant alternatif, celle qui permettra effectivement à l'électricité de bouleverser la société.

		Although the electrical system being developed in the United States in the 1880s used direct current (DC), in Europe several alternating-current (AC) systems were being developed.
		One of the most successful, first demonstrated in 1881 in London, was devised by Lucien Gaulard of France and John Gibbs of England.
		Four years later, Westinghouse imported a set of Gaulard-Gibbs transformers and a Siemens AC generator and set up an electrical system in Pittsburgh.

	A Moment In Time with Dan Roberts
		He called it alternating current where, unlike direct current, electricity moves back and forth along two lines at very high voltage between generator and appliance.
		To solve the high voltage problem Westinghouse acquired the invention of two European engineers, Lucien Gaulard and John Dixon, who had created a system of transformers.
		Power would leave the station at 500 volts, hit transformers along the line, and be reduced to 100 volts sufficient for home use

		The tests showed that for successful transmission, high voltage and alternating current must be used.
		Lucien Gaulard proposed the use of high voltage alternating current distribution lines with transformers to reduce the voltage at the receiving end of the line.
		Lucien Gaulard and John Gibbe had been issued a patent in England for a system of alternating current power distribution using transformers.

	George Westinghouse and the Battle of the Currents (Electrical Apparatus, 10/03)
		two weapons of his own: the secondary transformer, U.S. rights to which he had bought in 1885 from the inventors Lucien Gaulard and John Dixon Gibbs; and the polyphase induction motor, invented by expatriate Serbian visionary Nikola Tesla and sold outright by him to Westinghouse.
		The Gaulard and Gibbs transformer, with stamped copper plates, proved difficult and expensive to manufacture, so Westinghouse introduced the process of winding copper wire around the transformer's core by machine—another Westinghouse innovation that's with us to this day.
		With Westinghouse's financial backing, electricity was provided to the town of Great Barrington, Mass., with twelve transformers stepping 3,000 volts down to 500 to illuminate 400 incandescent lamps.
