- Short Circuited Rotor for Experimental Westinghouse Induction Motor, 1889-1893 - Nikola Tesla's name is inseparable from the development of alternating current electricity--particularly with regard to polyphase transmission, but especially with regard to the induction motor. His motor, patented in 1888, was the first practical AC motor. George Westinghouse licensed Tesla's motor patents that same year--enabling the Westinghouse AC lighting system to become a real competitor with direct current systems.

- Westinghouse Type A Polyphase Wattmeter, 1903-1906 - In the late 1800s, companies that supplied electricity to consumers needed a way to measure how much customers used -- and then charge them accordingly. Paul McGahan, a Westinghouse electrical engineer created a practical polyphase wattmeter in 1899 to measure electric power usage. This design was adopted by other companies and remained a standard well into the mid-1900s.
