Nikola Tesla invented AC, probably a transformer as well but don't quote that.

Who invented transformers?
Henry Orenstein invented transformers.
What are currents that change direction?
Alternating Current
What causes transformers to burn up?
the heat formed in the core due to the "eddy currents" burns a transformer
What did George Westinghouse create?
George Westinghouse invented the air brake for electric railway cars around the 1880's. He also purchased the patent rights to generators which used alternating currents, as well as patenting transformers that reduced high-voltage power to lower voltage levels. His new system made long-distance transmission more efficient, over Edison's system of direct current which couldn't transmit electricity very far.
Why did Tesla's alternating current system become the standard for providing electricity?
In the "War of Currents", George Westinghouse and Thomas Edison became adversaries due to Edison's promotion of direct current for electric power distribution over alternating current advocated by Westinghouse and Nikola Tesla. AC was and it is the best system.
Who would need to utilise current transformers?
A current transformer is used for measurement of alternating electric currents. Current transformers, together with voltage transformers are known as instrument transformers.
What are alternating currents?

What kind of current do transformers utilize?
Alternating.

What has the author Alexander Russell written?
Alexander Russell has written: 'A treatise on the theory of alternating currents' -- subject(s): Accessible book, Alternating Electric currents
What happens when unequal voltage ratios of transformers used in parallel operation of transformers?
You cannot connect transformers of different voltage in parallel. This is because circulating currents will be set up between the two transformers that may exceed their rated currents.
Which sources produce alternating current?
AC generators, powerplants etc produce alternating currents.
What are the swirling currents called that are induced in transformers and produce heat losses?
Eddy currents

Did Nikola Tesla put a patent on alternating currents?
Yes he did. In 1885 George Westinghouse, head of the Westinghouse Electric Company, bought the patent rights to Tesla's system of dynamos, transformers and motors. Westinghouse used Tesla's alternating current system to light the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago.
