A FORMER ELECTRIC SUBSTATION VII, Kazinczy utca 21

In the heart of the city, in a narrow little street stands the Electrotechnical Museum. In the courtyard here we can see the DC transformer house built in 1893, during the heroic age of electrification. Edison paid a visit here in 1911. In front of the little transformer house, along the line of the street, a new 30/10 kV electric substation was built in 1934. It was designed by the architects Gersten- berger and Arvé. The old transformer house ceased working in 1968, and the electric substation in 1976.

The Hungarian Electrotechnical Collection (since 1982 the Electrotechnical Museum) opened in 1975 in the old buildings. It is difficult to describe in a few lines
