Egon Christian Andresen (born December 10, 1928 in Bremerhaven ; † April 17, 2010 ) was a German electrical engineer .

Life

Born the son of the engineer Peter Andresen, Egon Christian Andresen grew up in Hagen in Westphalia . After a two-year break in school due to military service and American captivity between 1944 and 1946, he passed the Abitur at the secondary school there in 1949 . In the same year he went to the TH Darmstadt to study electrical engineering and joined the Corps Obotritia. In 1954 he completed his studies in the field of heavy current engineering as a Dipl.-Ing. and joined the AEG large machine factory in Brunnenstrasse in the same year as a development engineer in Berlin . In 1958 he was promoted to group leader. In 1960, from his industrial activities, he was awarded a doctoral thesis on the subject: The current reversal of limit power commutator machines with mesh-forming auxiliary elements (Punga connector and S connector) from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the TH Darmstadt to become a Dr.-Ing. PhD. After further professional positions at AEG in Düsseldorf and Berlin, in 1966 he was appointed member of the management board and head of development at AEG's large machine factory in Brunnenstrasse in Berlin.

On April 1, 1969, he accepted a call from the TH Darmstadt as full professor for electrical engineering and head of the Institute for Electrical Energy Conversion, which he headed until his retirement in 1997. He has published his scientific work in the field of electrical energy conversion in 70 scientific articles in specialist journals and at specialist congresses. He supervised 40 doctorates. The focus of research was on the areas of frequency converter-fed three-phase machines , the use of high-energy magnets for electrical machines , optimal use of the wheel-rail frictional connection in modern three-phase locomotives and power units, and the use of modern calculation methods for the design of the motor geometry .

In the academic years 1971/1972 and 1994/1995 he was dean of Faculty 17, Electrical Power Engineering, and 1984/1985 Vice President of the TH Darmstadt.
