Talk:AC transformer

Concerns over redirect
this is a redirect, Transformer was invented before Yablochkov was born. There is no rule against categorizing redirects. If such rule was introduced recently - please cite it here. G_PViB (talk) 14:13, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
 * It's unusual to use an article category for a redirect (see WP:RCAT). Although it may be done (see section entitled "Alternative names for articles"), in this case, there is no support for the cat. I'm going to revert it, and I suggest you stop edit warring about it.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:23, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Some subtopics of articles have well-known names and, over time, may expand to become separate articles. Many articles cover several topics that have been combined. This can happen following a merge of several related articles. Often there are redirects pointing to these subtopics. These redirects can be categorized. G_PViB (talk) 14:35, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
 * AC Transformers will not become a separate article as Transformer already has it covered and there is no other type of transformer. They are all AC. That logic is silly and the cat should be removed here. However, following your links, I see your Russian inventor is credited in the go to article section Transformer.  This should be rectified in the [Transformer] article as it looks as if the Russian invented the transformer first, even though he didn't write up docs, or know what it was, that we are aware of. His mention should be in the history section first, since his discovery happened first. Better references would be good but since the world is flooded with US info, in English, it may be hard to produce good resources. The Cat edit should be applied to the Transformer article, but not here. 174.118.142.187 (talk) 16:04, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Anon is correct. This redirect page should not be categorized, and "Transformer" should not be categorized as a Russian invention either. Jeh (talk) 16:22, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Note to admins: the users are arguing out of lowerback area soreness [is that polite enough?]. To User:174.118.142.187: Our glorious nation does not need cheap cheats-beatings. G_PViB (talk) 16:41, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Note to admins: This redirect page was created simply so that PV1B could slap the "Russian inventions" tag on it. Jeh (talk) 08:04, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I dispute the claim that "there is no other type of transformer. They are all AC." See pulse transformer. A DC pulse of less than 50% duty cycle and of sufficiently short duration and magnitude will be passed. K7L (talk) 13:38, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Such a pulse is still considered AC, as the voltage and current are changing over time. It just has a DC offset. Jeh (talk) 08:04, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
