Aleen brings a unique skillset in that he has six years of experience as a utility consultant and five years of experience as an engineer at a public utility. In these roles, he created physical design drawings, protection & control drawings, and SCADA drawings for numerous substations and successfully managed projects as a lead engineer to meet scope, schedule, and budget requirements. Aleen also has experience in conducting system studies for industrial facilities to determine available short-circuit current to specify equipment, arc-flash hazard study using IEEE 1584 to specify PPE, and load flow studies to specify capacitors. Besides work, he has contributed to the IEEE 1584 standard and PJM’s (Designated Entity) substation standards.

Practical Implementation of Transformer Winding Connections – 3 Critical Steps to Consider

To understand how transformer winding connections are made, in this article I will build a three-phase transformer delta-delta (with 180degree phase-shift) using three (3) single-phase transformers. Although this exercise seems moot for substation design, practical applications of single-phase transformers exist. For instance, as a station-service source. Also, to guide you step-by-step, I’ve prepared the below

Cheatsheet for calculating lightning surge arrester ratings

Are you sizing a lightning surge arrester for installation inside a substation? Electrical parameters: MCOV, TOV, and discharge voltage; should be on top of your list – for the correct application. If you are familiar with these parameters, then check out the below infographic, showing how to pick their values.
