This book sets out statistical methods which can be used in the preparation, execution, evaluation and interpretation of experiments in high-voltage engineering, of a random nature.

Dr.sc.techn. Wolfgang Hauschild is engaged in the development of high-voltage testing and measuring systems at HIGHVOLT Prüftechnik Dresden GmbH, and is also a lecturer at Dresden Technical University. He studied electrical engineering at Dresden TU from 1960 to 1966 and was then assistant to Prof. Dr.-Ing. F. Obenaus at the Institute for High Voltage Engineering. From 1970 to 1980 he was senior assistant to Prof. Mosch (heading a work group on SF6 insulation), and from 1976 to 1977 he was visiting reader at Damascus University. Dr. Hauschild received his doctorate for investigations into discharge phenomena in insulating oil, and for work on breakdown in the insulating gas sulphur hexafluoride. He has twice been awarded the Order of the Banner of Labour, First Class.
