Cable Accessories – Applicable IEEE Standards and Failure Analysis Techniques. The program will cover the basic requirements of IEEE 404 on cable joints, IEEE 48 on cable terminations and IEEE 386 on separable connectors. It will also include a primer on how to analyze accessory failures.
Thomas C. Champion (M' 1977) was born in Brunswick, Georgia, on January 6, 1952. He graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, in June 1977 with a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering degree. His employment experience includes an accident investigation and reconstruction firm and various departments within Georgia Power Company. Since 1979, he has been employed at the Georgia Power Research Center in Forest Park. Areas of responsibility have included projects on realtime dynamic ampacity ratings of overhead lines, cable pulling techniques and damage thresholds, solid dielectric transmission cable qualification, and reliability of loadbreak separable connectors. He is a member of the IEEE 386 standards committee and serves as chairman of Working Group 10-50 of the IEEE Insulated Conductors Committee.
Carlos Katz was born in West Germany on August 18, 1934. Received an Electrical Engineering degree from Polytechnic Institute of Quito, Ecuador in 1961 and a MS degree from Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, New Jersey in 1970.
From 1962 to 1971 he was associated with General Cable Corporation Research Center and from 1971 to 1974 with the laboratories of Phelps Dodge Wire & Cable. In 1974 he became Assistant Director of R&D at General Cable Corp., and later Technical Director Power and Control Cables for General Cable International. He has been with Cable Technology Laboratories as Chief Research Engineer since its founding 1978. Mr. Katz’s special field of activity is the investigation of extruded and laminar dielectric high voltage power cables, the manufacture and properties of such cables and the extension of service life of installed cables.
Mr. Katz is the author of 31 technical papers and holds 16 U.S. patents related to high voltage cables. He is an IEEE Fellow, a voting member of ICC and a member of CIGRE.
Glenn Luzzi graduated from Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, New Jersey in June of 1972 with a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering degree. He began his 27-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. In 1993, as Director of Engineering, he headed up the design and development efforts for joints, separable connectors, submersible current-limiting fuses and vacuum switchgear. In his 20-year employment history with Elastimold he authored or co-authored 15 U.S. patents. He recently joined the Richards Manufacturing Co. as Manager of H.V. Products. He is a member of both the Switchgear and Insulated Conductors Committees and serves as Chairman of WG 10-27 and member of the On-to-100 Committee.
Bill Taylor graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 1975 with a BSEE degree. He spent 14 years as a plant electrical engineer for several petrochemical plants on the Houston ship channel. In 1989 he went to work for 3M as a product development engineer in the cable accessories area.
Bill is a member of IAS and PCIC, PES and a voting member of the ICC, where he serves as Vice Chairman of working group #10-56, and a member of working groups 10-39, 10-27 and 10-43. Bill is also a member of the PCIC working group that is revising standard IEEE-576.
