He didn't. He patented some work on AC power generation - and even that - to be honest isn't used by systems today contrary to what is often said on the internet.

Hippolyte Pixii would probably be the closest to an 'inventor' of AC power as he created an AC generator in 1832. In many parts of Germany there was working 2 phase AC current in 1870. Mikhail Dolivo-Dobrovsky would build the first real working 3 phase system, generator, motor, etc., in 1888.

This is before either Ferrari or Tesla's work, but in March 1888, Galileo Ferraris will publish and present a research in a paper to the Royal Academy of Sciences in Italy which reveals a Polyphase alternator - and two months later Nikola Tesla will get a Patent for a very very similar design, and be given credit.

Tesla, will make a lot of advances in the design of polyphase alternators and deserves a lot of credit. But he didn't invent AC. He didn't invent the transformer (Ferrari didn't either) - that would be a guy named William Stanley in 1885.

Nikola Tesla did not invent the telegraph. The telegraph was invented by Samuel Morse in the 1830s. Tesla was known for his work in electricity and developing alternating current (AC) systems for power transmission.


Why did Nikola Tesla invent ac electricity?

Nikola Tesla invented alternating current (AC) electricity to address the limitations of direct current (DC) systems, which could not be efficiently transmitted long distances. AC allowed for the development of a more practical and efficient electrical distribution system, transforming the way electricity was generated and distributed. Tesla's innovations in AC electricity laid the foundation for modern power systems.
