Illustration of Ferranti testing 10, 000V cable V510 / 0013
19th Century power transmission. Illustration showing Sebastian Ziani de Ferranti (1864-1930) testing his 10, 000 Volt cable in 1890. His assistant (with a look of trepidation) is holding an uninsulated chisel as it is driven through the live cable, to demonstrate Ferrantis protective cut-out. Deptford Power station in south-east London, also designed by Ferranti and opened in 1889, was the first station to produce a high- voltage output (10, 000V) for transmission

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in the history of power transmission. In the late 19th century, Sebastian Ziani de Ferranti, a brilliant electrical engineer, fearlessly tested his groundbreaking invention - a 10,000 Volt cable. The year was 1890 when this remarkable illustration came to life. The image showcases Ferranti himself alongside his assistant who appears both intrigued and apprehensive. With an air of trepidation, the assistant holds an uninsulated chisel as it is driven through the live cable. This daring act serves to demonstrate Ferranti's ingenious protective cut-out mechanism. Notably, this historic event took place at Deptford Power station in south-east London - yet another testament to Ferranti's brilliance as he designed and oversaw its construction in 1889. This pioneering power station became renowned for producing high-voltage output (10,000V) for transmission purposes. As we delve into this snapshot from the past, we are transported back to a time when electricity generation was still in its infancy. It reminds us of the relentless pursuit of scientific progress that has shaped our modern world. With elements of technology and physics intertwined within this image, it stands as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. Let us marvel at how far we have come since those early days while acknowledging the debt owed to visionaries like Sebastian Ziani de Ferranti whose contributions continue to impact our lives today.
