From the Preface to the 1st English Edition (in 1978)

High-voltage technology is a field of electrical engineering, the scientific principles of which are essentially found in Physics and which by its application, is intimately linked with industrial practice. It is concerned with the physical phenomena and technical problems associated with high voltages.

The properties of gases and plasmas, as well as liquid and solid insulating materials, are of fundamental significance to high-voltage technology. However, despite all progress, the physical phenomena observed in these media can only be incompletely explained by theoretical treatment, and so experiment constitutes the foreground of scientific research in this field. Teaching and research ...
