Miksa Déri

Miksa Deri (also: Karl Max Deri, born October 24, 1854 in Bács; † March 3, 1938 in Meran ) was a Hungarian electrical engineer. He was one of the developers of the transformer.

Life

Deri studied until 1877 hydraulic at the Technical University of Vienna. Between 1878 and 1882 he was involved in the regulation of the rivers Duna and Tisza from. At the same time he studied electrical engineering and worked from 1882 at the company whole in Budapest as an engineer and later as a director. Together with Károly Zipernowsky he developed a self-excited AC generator. Major, who did much together with Károly Zipernowsky and Ottó Titusz Bláthy in the development of the 1885 patent-pending ( Ganz'schen ) transformer, as he was responsible for most of the experimental work.

1889 Max Deri came to the International Electric Company (IEG ) in Vienna, where he organized the 1890 finished steam power plant Engerthstraße or technically fitting out and as ( senior ) director of the Company Kaiser Franz Joseph I led on June 2, 1893 through the plant. As in 1891, IEG was awarded the contract, located along the Corfu Achillion Palace of Empress Elisabeth of Austria - Hungary equip electricians, Deri took over the management of the project. On October 28, 1893 Deri was co-opted in recognition of his service as a member of the Board of IEG.

Between 1898 and 1902 Max Deri worked on the compensated DC machine.

Deri, with Zipernowsky a pioneer of alternating current, died in Merano, Merano as reported by the registry office Deri Massimiliano, engineer, 83 years old. [Note 1]
