George Westinghouse was an inventor who is significant in promoting the use of electricity for power and transportation. He created the first large system to supply electricity for multiple uses.
He formed the Westinghouse electric and manufacturing company in 1884. He created delivery system for electricity that was deemed safer than that of Thomas Edison.
He also developed a transformer that could bring alternating current electricity down form high voltage to low and hence making it possible to transmit it for long distances while making it ready for use.
