Electricity transformer. Historical illustration of a triphase alternating current transformer from the French General Electric Company of Nancy (founded 1898). Transformers change the voltage of an electric power supply, enabling it to be used in different devices and within different power networks. Artwork from 'Electricite' (1911) by Max de Nansouty, part of the 'Les merveilles de la science' series of 1867-1891 by Louis Figuier.
