==History== Single phase power transmission took many years to develop. The earliest developments were based on the early [[alternator]] inventions of 19th century Parisian scientist [[Hippolyte Pixii]], which were later expanded upon by [[Lord Kelvin]] and others in the 1880s. The first full AC power system, based on single phase alternating current, was created by William Stanley with financial support from Westinghouse in 1886. In 1897, experiments began for single phase power transmission.<ref>{{cite web |title=AC Power History and Timeline |url=https://edisontechcenter.org/AC-PowerHistory.html |website=Edison Tech Center |access-date=January 24, 2022}}</ref>
