Save

April 13, 2024 Updated June 11, 2024 3 minute read

Electrical engineering as a whole is an expansive field, but high-voltage engineering focuses on the design, manufacture, and testing of equipment used in power transmission and distribution systems at higher voltage levels. High-voltage engineers are involved in all aspects of power system design and operation, from planning and design to construction and maintenance.

Education

Most high-voltage engineers have a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a related field. Some employers may require a master's degree. Electrical engineering programs typically include coursework in circuit analysis, power systems, and power electronics. Students may also take courses in mathematics, physics, and computer science.
