00:00On November 30, 1876, Russian engineer Pavel Nikolayevich Yablochkov received a patent
00:10for the creation of a transformer, which became an important milestone in the history of electrical
00:16engineering and is considered the birth date of the first transformer.
00:22Pavel Yablochkov, known for his innovations in the field of electric lighting, developed
00:29and patented a device that became the basis for the further development of electric power
00:34engineering. Yablochkov's transformer, although relatively simple by modern standards, became
00:42the first device capable of converting alternating current of one voltage into alternating current
00:48of another voltage. Yablochkov's invention was of great importance for the development
00:54of electrical engineering. Until that point, the use of alternating current was limited
01:01due to the lack of effective methods for its conversion.
