electrotehnic

Electrotehnic, or electrotechnics, is a field of engineering concerned with the science and technology of electric energy and its applications. It covers the generation, transmission, distribution and conversion of electrical power, as well as the design and operation of electrical equipment, electronic devices, and control systems. The discipline spans traditional power engineering, where engineers work on grids, transformers, motors, and power electronics, and electronics and instrumentation, which focus on circuits, sensors, and automation. It also includes telecommunications, digital systems, and renewable energy technologies as they relate to electrical infrastructure.

Education and training in electrotehnic typically leads to degrees in electrical or electrotechnical engineering, with options to specialize in areas such as power systems, high voltage engineering, electronics, control engineering, telecommunications, or renewable energy. Professionals may be involved in planning, designing, testing, maintaining and optimizing electrical installations, machinery, and processes, ensuring safety, reliability, and efficiency. The term is used in several languages to describe this broad domain; in English, close equivalents include electrical engineering, electrical and electronics engineering, or electrotechnics to emphasize the technology of electricity.
