How came it be this is only a mid importance article?. The invention of 3 phase transformer (and induction motors) led to the second Industrial Revolution (electricity), and it´s still the core of the transmission grids.--Xareu bs (talk) 08:07, 2 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

I agree. Whoever is in charge of upping the importance of articles needs to watch Kathy Joseph Balistreri's video (starting at t=430s or 7:10) about how the world managed to forget Dolivo-Dobrovolsky. Hopefully Balistreri's video plus Wikipedia can raise Dolivo-Dobrovolsky from the ranks of the forgotten geniuses of the 19th century. Wikipedia gives him a passing mention in History of electric power transmission which however is easily overlooked. Vaughan Pratt (talk) 20:38, 16 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
