Uses of high voltage in electro technology

The electro technical application of high voltages can be found in many areas of the daily life. In research and development areas high voltages are used in photo multipliers, in radiation measurement equipment, in the electron microscopy, for particle accelerators, for laser light generation and many more. In the area of electrical power energy engineering high voltages are used in the generation, transmission and distribution of the electricity as well as for electrical measuring and test technique. Further areas of electrical power engineering with the use of high voltages are the power and voltage supply in medicine and consumer areas as well as application for vehicles, electrical drives and for illumination purposes. Also in industrial areas high voltages cannot excluded any longer. They will be used in coating and spraying lines, in the electrostatic filters and arc furnaces as well as in devices for material separation.
