High-Voltage Test and Measuring Techniques

Wolfgang Hauschild received the Diploma degree in 1965, the Ph.D. in1970 and the habilitation (university lecturing qualification) in 1976 from the Technical University (TU) of Dresden, Germany. In 2007 he became doctor honoris causa of the Technical University of Graz, Austria. From 1966 to 1979 he was a researcher of TU Dresden managing a research group on SF6 insulation. In 1976/1977 Dr. Hauschild was a guest professor at Damascus University, Syria, and responsible for the erection of a large HV laboratory there. In 1980 he moved to industry and has been in leading positions of HV test equipment production in Dresden, from 1990 to 2007 as the Technical Director of HIGHVOLT Prüftechnik Dresden GmbH. After retirement he is still active as a consultant. Dr. Hauschild was German speaker to IEC TC 42 (HV test technique) from 1995 to 2009 and is a member of IEEE, VDE and CIGRE. He published two books and numerous papers on HV engineering, especially HV testing. Mailing address:
