Read a technical paper from the "Life of a Transformer" archives: "The History of Transformers" by Richard K. Ladroga.

Abstract: As we move forward into the 21st Century, the use of electricity by mankind has evolved into a necessary staple of every day life. But it wasn’t always this way. The advent of power transformers in today’s world is a function of necessity, a product of ingenuity, and a marvel of technology. Power transformers are the key element in the present system of electrical power distribution, and this system could not function without transformers. This paper takes a look at why and how they were developed.
