Hans Behn-Eschenburg (10 January 1864 – 18 May 1938) was born in Obertrass (now Zurich), Switzerland. His work on the Universal motor, AC single-phase motor was important to the Railway electrification system, electrification of railways.
He studied mathematics and physics in Zurich and Berlin between 1886 and 1890. In 1892, Behn-Eschenburg worked at Maschinenfabrik Oerlikon, where he became chief electrician (1897-1911), director (1911–1913), director General Technical (1913-1928) and Administrative Counselor (1919-1938). Oerlikon was prominent in the construction of single-phase motors with commutators for Traction motor, traction. He died on 18 May 1938 in Küsnacht.
His work focussed on alternating current technology, including the asynchronous motor and the AC single-phase motor. which marked a Seebach-Wettingen railway electrification trial, major turning point in the electrification of railways.
Behn-Eschenburg gave his name to a vector diagram for synchronous reactance.
