PREFACE.
Table of Contents
As of late the employment of alternating current transformers has largely increased and become of great importance, indeed as they are called upon to play a striking part in electric lighting from central stations, the author has thought a short notice of the development of this invention would possess some interest. This task appeared to be so much the more pressing, as many distorted versions of the invention and its priority have found place in the technical journals.
The author has not let the reading of the large number of patents discourage him, and hopes that the following plain and concise statement of these researches will contribute towards the forming of a correct judgment as to the services rendered by the several inventors.
THE AUTHOR.
HISTORY OF THE TRANSFORMER.
Table of Contents
As we wish to write of those discoveries which led up to the invention of the transformer, we must go back to a time, old as compared with the modern development of electrotechnics. For the starting-point of our observations we shall take Faraday, who, like Newton in mechanics, led the way in the domain of electricity, and whose name stands in the most intimate relations with all inventions for the mechanical production of the electric current, and therefore with the later development of electrotechnics.
Faraday,
1831.
The most important discovery for which we have to thank Faraday is that of induction. This discovery was made by him in the year 1831, and intimated to the philosophical world in a paper read on the 24th November, 1831, appearing in the Transactions of the Philosophical Society in the year 1832.
Faraday’s first induction apparatus consisted of two coils of wire, the one being slid over the other. As he was passing the current from a battery through one of these, he made the discovery that each time the circuit of the coil was opened or closed an electromotive force was created in the second coil, which caused a short gush of current or induction current to flow, provided the circuit of this coil was closed, as might be through a galvanometer. The peculiarity of this induced current was, that it only flowed in the second coil during the time the current in the first coil took to reach its normal strength after closing the circuit, or on breaking the circuit during the time the current took to decrease from its normal strength to zero.
This discovery undoubtedly belongs to the domain of the transformer, induction being the physical precedent upon which the transformer is based; indeed, a transformer is in principle an induction apparatus.
Fig. 1.
Fig. 1 represents the arrangement of this fundamental experiment. The primary coil is connected with the battery, the secondary with the galvanometer. The primary coil, in order to obtain the best effect, is placed inside the secondary, and on opening and closing its circuit the needle of the galvanometer is thrown to the one or the other side respectively.
Fig. 2.
The arrangement, as in Fig. 2, made by Faraday showed itself to be an especially effective combination for the
