6. A Letter of Encouragement for
Continued Participation in ICC can be written to the management at the
company of an ICC participant. This is an effort to help members make the
value of ICC known to their company management so that the company will
continue to support attendance and involvement at the ICC. Simply provide a
list with the names and addresses of the appropriate individuals to receive
such a letter to the Subcommittee chair or vice-chair. Letters will only be
sent at a member’s request.
7. Attendees were reminded to set up their
interest profile for IEEE-SA balloting so that they will receive the ballot
offers for ICC and other areas where they have interest in balloting IEEE
standards.
8. Jobs Filled: Thank you to Brieana Reed-Harmel for vice
chairing B17D, Guide for Faulted Circuit Indicators.
9. A new ad hoc
working group to develop a Selection Guide for Cable Joints met immediately
following the Sub B presentations. Tim Mclaughlin of TE Connectivity is the
chair of the committee and Tom Campbell of Consolidated Edison is the
vice-chair.
10. An award was given for the best speaker at the last
meeting. The winner was Dominique Bolliger from the University of
Connecticut who presented, “The Chemistry of Interfacial Tracking”.
11.
Possible presentation topics for next meeting:
Increase usage/offering
of UD transmission cable accessories
Impact of windfarms on CA
Field PD diagnostic testing of CA
Four presentations were given:
B1 - “
Design
of the Collector Circuit and Cable Accessory for Windfarm Applications",
Neal Parker, Puget Sound Energy.
Abstract: Discuss the design of
collector systems for wind farms, including a characterization of the load,
cable sizing, and circuit bonding (multipoint, single-point, and cross
bonding). Also describe the cable accessories that are used and unique
challenges that these accessories must meet. Neal Parker has worked
for Puget Sound Energy for over 30 years in various positions in field
operations and in T&D Engineering. He is currently working in the Standards
department where he specializes in the design and construction of
underground cable systems. He holds a BSEE degree and an MBA. He is a
registered professional engineer, he serves on a number of IEEE committees,
and has been a member of the ICC for many years.
B2 - “
600
A Connector Assembly Torque Issues”. Glenn Luzzi, Richards Manufacturing
Abstract: 600A elbows and components must be designed and installed to
provide a connection that will ensure they will carry 600A steady-state, 900
A overload current and both 10 kA and 25 kA momentary currents. In addition,
the connection system must sustain the above properties for the expected
life of the connector. This last factor, the mechanical stability of the
connection, requires design considerations that need to be addressed by the
supplier and ones that need to be fully understood by the user. Glenn Luzzi
graduated from Stevens Institute of Technology in June of 1972 with a
Bachelor of Electrical Engineering degree. He began his 39-year career in
power engineering with The Okonite Company as a Research Engineer in the
High Voltage laboratory until October of 1978. He then joined Elastimold as
a joint and separable connector Product Design Engineer and ultimately their
Director of Engineering heading up the design and development efforts for
joints, separable connectors, submersible current-limiting fuses and vacuum
switchgear. He is currently the Manager of the medium voltage product line
for Richards Manufacturing Co. He authored or co-authored 16 U.S. patents as
well as several pending patent applications. He is a member of both the
Switchgear and Insulated Conductors Committees and serves as Chairman of
B2W, revisions to IEEE 404.
B3 - “
Technology
Considerations for Medium Voltage Heatshrink Cable Accessories”, Matt
Spalding, TE Connectivity
Abstract: Present the fundamentals of medium
voltage heatshrink joint and termination technology including sealing,
thermal, stress control and connector methodology. Matt Spalding has a BSEE
Power Option NMSU, Graduate Studies Engineering Economic Systems Stanford,
Distribution Standards Engineer – El Paso Electric, Various R&D Product &
Sales Management Positions TE Connectivity, 5 Patents, 20+ years ICC, IEEE,
ANSI & NEMA.
B4 - “
Qualification
of Cable Accessories for 230 kV Extruded Cables”, Ivan Jovanovich &
Milan Uzelac G&W Electric Company
Abstract: G&W has developed product
line of HV accessories for extruded cables 69 kV through 230 kV that utilize
premolded silicone rubber components. These components, stress cones for
outdoor and equipment type terminations and joints are pre-expanded in the
factory and mechanically shrank onto the cable in the field. This
presentation will outline the process of simultaneously developing products
and manufacturing processes and some of the constraints that come with it.
Main features of developed stress cones and joints will be presented, as
well as the results of prequalification (PQ) test on complete 230 kV XLPE
cable system. Ivan Jovanovic received a B.S. degree in Electrical
Engineering from the University of Belgrade (Serbia) and an MBA at Loyola
University Chicago. He started his career in the field of Electric Power
Systems as a Research Engineer in Nikola Tesla Institute in Belgrade. He has
been employed at G&W Electric Company since 2001 where currently holds
position of General Manager for Cable Accessories. He is responsible for
development and production engineering of cable accessories at G&W locations
in USA and China. He is a member of IEEE and CIGRE. Milan Uzelac graduated
from Electro-technical University of Belgrade, Serbia, in 1968 with a major
in Electrical Power Engineering. Milan relocated to US in 1989 and continued
his carrier with G&W Electric Company, Chicago as an R&D engineer, product
engineer and chief R&D engineer. His responsibility has been the development
and design of accessories for high and extra high voltage cables both with
extruded and impregnated paper insulation
