Anton Schwaiger (electrical engineer)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anton Schwaiger (born January 12, 1879 in Pleinfeld , † February 7, 1954 in Munich ) was a German electrical engineer and university professor.

Career

After he had obtained his diploma as electrical engineer at the TH Munich in 1903 , he started at Siemens-Schuckertwerke in Berlin, where he worked in the test field and in the departments for power plants and railway systems. In 1907 he received his doctorate with a dissertation on rule problems. In 1909 he married. He completed his habilitation in 1910 or 1911. In October 1910 he became assistant to the director of the Electrotechnical Institute, Engelbert Arnold († 1911) at the TH Karlsruhe . Here he took over the lectures on Electric Power Plants , Electric Motor Operations and Electric Railways, and in 1913 he introduced the course on high voltage technology . In 1912 a regular extraordinary professorship was established for these teaching areas and in 1922 a full professorship.

In the First World War he served as a volunteer, most recently as a deputy sergeant.

In 1923 Schwaiger was appointed to the chair for electrical systems and high voltage technology at the TH Munich . In 1933 he joined the NSDAP. 1933–35 he was rector of the TH Munich.

The Schwaiger utilization factor is named after him. Schwaiger was also an honorary citizen of the TH Karlsruhe .
