Abstract

After the International Electrical Exhibition in Paris in 1881, the world electrical industry development process speeded up significantly. A striking event of that time was the Munich Electric Exhibition of 1882, the ideological inspirer and organizer of which was the German engineer Oskar von Miller. A small budget, a small number of exhibits and participants forced the steering committee to look for non-trivial solutions that make it possible to distinguish the exhibition at the background of other similar events. A brilliant step was the decision to issue special certificates to all participants of the exhibition instead of medals, based on a thorough experimental study of each exhibit with the subsequent publication of the data obtained. To this end, a special commission was set up, which consisted of reputable scientists, engineers and industrialists. The Munich Exhibition was the forerunner of the Frankfurt Exhibition, which was also organized by Oskar von Miller according to his script in 1891 and the famous high-voltage three-phase power transmission for 175 km implemented by the Russian electrical engineer M.O. Dolivo-Dobrovolsky.
