绝缘国家重点实验室学术委员会主

席，中国电工技术学会名誉理事，电

接触及电弧研究会主任委员，跨国

IEEE高级会员，国际气体放电及其应用会议国际委员会委员等

职。

40多年来，王其平教授一直从事电器和电弧理论、电接触理

论的教学和科学研究工作，是交通大学电器专业创建人之一。早在

1963年出版的《电器中的电弧理论》一书，为国内这方面第一本专

著，在创建电器电弧理论的科学体系方面起了先导和开拓作用。

王其平教授与其合作者在国内首先创建了四个不同层次、各

具特色的电弧动态数学模型，提出了电接触材料的侵蚀机理和表

面形貌特征的新观点。出版了5部专著，发表论文120余篇，获国

家教育委员会、机械电子工业部颁发的科技进步奖5项和荣誉证

书10多种，还获得国务院1991年颁发的政府特殊津贴证书。

他与同事联合发起和主持了在西安交通大学召开的两届“电

接触、电弧、电器及其应用国际会议”，应邀访问过瑞士、德、英、意、

波、加、日、美等国的有关大学。

他是我国在该领域内有突出贡献的专家，被选入1992年出版

的《中国人名大词典》当代人物卷。

Contact and Arc Research Institute, senior member of IEEE,

member of International Committee of International Conference

on Gas Discharges and Their Applications, etc..

For more than forty years, Prof. Wang Qi-Ping has been

engaged in teaching and research of electrical apparatus, electric

arc theory and contact theory. He was one of the founders of

Electrical Apparatus Speciality of Jiaotong University. The book

"The Theory of Electric Arcs in Electrical Apparatus" was pub-

lished early in 1963, it is the first book on this field in China.

Prof. Wang and his cooporators established four different kinds

of mathematical models of electric arc in gas flow with distinctive

features for the first time in China, and advanced the new view-

points of the formation mechanisms of erosion and surface mor-

phology of electric contacts by breaking arcs. He has published

five books and more than 120 papers in the above mentioned

fields. His scientific research work is fruitful. He has obtained

five awards of science and technology progress and more than 10

honorable certificates given by the State Education Commission

and Ministry of Machine Building and Electronic Industry, and

the certificate for special allowance given by State Council in

1991.

He with his colleagues jointly sponsored and organized Ist

and 2nd International Conference on Electrical Arcs, Contacts,

Apparatus and their Applications in Xi'an. He attended interna-

tional conference many times and was invited to visit relevant u-

niversities in Switzerland, Germany, U. K. , Italy, Poland,

Canada, Japan, U. S.A.

Prof. Wang is a specialist with distinguished contributions

in electrical engineering. His name and biography has been in-

cluded in "The Great Dictionary of Chinese Biography-Contem-

porary Figures" published in 1992.
