In 1888 Nikola Tesla invented the first practicable AC motor and with it the polyphase power transmission system. This system was better than the direct current motors developed by William Sturgeon in 1832 and the direct current system by Emily and Thomas Davenport in 1837. Nikola Tesla invented the electric motor with rotating magnetic field that made electric drives for machines feasible and made power transmission necessary.
