The task of high voltage engineering is to keep high electric field strengths under control. First, as an introduction, the fundamental challenge is explained, i.e. that the electric stresses in an insulating system must always stay lower than the dielectric strength. Then, the application areas and the perspectives of high voltage engineering in electrical power engineering and in other fields of engineering are described. The topics of the book are briefly addressed and they are illustrated with the example of a bushing, in order to give a first impression of the way of thinking in high voltage engineering.
