AC and the induction motor

交流电和感应电动机

In late 1886 Tesla met Alfred S. Brown, a Western Union superintendent, and New York attorney Charles F. Peck.

在1886年末特斯拉认识了西联公司的负责人阿尔弗雷德•s•布朗和纽约律师查尔斯•f•派克。

The two men were experienced in setting up companies and promoting inventions and patents for financial gain.

这两个人在创立公司、促进发明及从专利中获取经济利益的事务上有丰富的经验。

Based on Tesla's patents and other ideas they agreed to back him financially and handle his patents.

他们同意在经济上支持特斯拉发展他的专利和其他设想，并帮助他处理专利上的相关事务。

Together in April 1887 they formed the Tesla Electric Company with an agreement that profits from generated patents would go 1/3 to Tesla, 1/3 to Peck and Brown, and 1/3 to fund development.

在1887年4月,他们创立了特斯拉电力公司，并达成一项协议,从专利中取得的利润将1/3给特斯拉,1/3给派克和布朗,1/3注入公司的发展基金。

They set up a laboratory for Tesla at 89 Liberty Street in Manhattan where he worked on improving and developing new types of electric motors, generators and other devices.

他们在曼哈顿自由街89号为特斯拉建立了实验室,在这里特斯拉做的工作有改善和发展新型的电动马达、发电机和其他设备等。

One of the things Tesla developed at that laboratory in 1887 was an induction motor that ran on alternating current, a power system format that was starting to be built in Europe and the US because of its advantages in long distance high voltage transmission.

1887年特斯拉在实验室做的事情之一是研发了一种使用交流电工作的感应电动机 , 由于高压交流电（比直流电）更适合用于远距离输送电力，这种新型的电力系统开始在欧洲和美国扩展开来。

The motor used polyphase current which generated a rotating magnetic field to turn the motor (a principle Tesla claimed to have conceived of in 1882).

这种电机使用多相电流产生的旋转磁场来使电动机运转(特斯拉说他在1882年就有这个构思了)。
