Nikola Tesla - Westinghouse Electric asked Tesla to participate in the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition
Time: 1893
Place: Chicago, Illinois, U.S.
Details: Westinghouse Electric asked Tesla to participate in the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago where the company had a large space in the "Electricity Building" devoted to electrical exhibits. Westinghouse Electric won the bid to light the Exposition with alternating current and it was a key event in the history of AC power, as the company demonstrated to the American public the safety, reliability, and efficiency of an alternating current system that was polyphase and could also supply the other AC and DC exhibits at the fair.
