Professorship „High Voltage and High Current Technologies”

The Chair of High Voltage and High Current Engineering at the Faculty of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at the University of Rostock, including two laboratories, is operated in cooperation between the University of Rostock and INP Greifswald. Teaching activities in the Master's program include fundamentals of high voltage and high current engineering as well as specializations in switchgear and circuit breaker technologies and high voltage isolation. Current research focuses include experimental analysis and modeling of switching arcs in high-, medium- and low-voltage switches and arresters, including the investigation of vacuum arcs, the investigation of insulating materials and electrical equipment with respect to strength and aging behavior, especially by means of partial discharge diagnostics, and the investigation of the long-term stability of electrical contacts and connections. The research activities are integrated into the research focus "Welding and Switching" at INP and take place in laboratories in Rostock (high current & high voltage laboratory) as well as at INP (Arc Research Laboratory), which are assigned to the department "Plasma Radiation Technology".
