غاليليو فيراري (31 أكتوبر 1847 – 7 فبراير 1897) فيزيائيومهندس كهربائي إيطالي، وأحد رواد البحث والاختراع في مجال أنظمة قدرة التيار المتردد ومخترع المحرك الحثي.[2][3][4][5] اعتبرت بعض الصحف أن اختراع فيراري للمحرك الحثي وأنظمة نقل الطاقة يعدان أحد أعظم الاختراعات على مر العصور. نشر فيراري دراسة واسعة وكاملة حول النتائج التجريبية التي تم الحصول عليها باستخدام محولات الدوائر المفتوحة من النوع الذي صممه مهندسا الطاقةلوسيان غولاروجون ديكسون غيبز.
^Alternating currents of electricity: their generation, measurement, distribution, and application by Gisbert Kapp, William Stanley, Jr. Johnston, 1893. p. 140. [cf., This direction has been first indicated by Professor Galileo Ferraris, of Turin, some six years ago. Quite independent of Ferraris, the same discovery was also made by Nikola Tesla, of New York; and since the practical importance of the discovery has been recognized, quite a host of original discoverers have come forward, each claiming to be the first.]

[cf., At about the same time [1888], Galileo Ferraris, in Italy, and Nikola Tesla, in the United States, brought out motors operating by systems of alternating currents displaced from one another in phase by definite amounts and producing what is known as the rotating magnetic field.] نسخة محفوظة 27 يونيو 2014 على موقع واي باك مشين.

[cf., "[...] new application of the alternating current in the production of rotary motion was made known almost simultaneously by two experimenters, Nikola Tesla and Galileo Ferraris, and the subject has attracted general attention from the fact that no commutator or connection of any kind with the armature was required."]
