DESCRIPTION:The IEEE PES Kenya Chapter\, in collaboration with Kenya Power\
 , is pleased to host a Distinguished Lecture Program (DLP) featuring Mazan
 a Armstrong\, Manager of Transmission Stations in the Engineering Division
  at BC Hydro\, Canada.\n\nThis lecture will explore the critical aspects o
 f Minimum Approach Distances (MAD) and their implications on live-line mai
 ntenance practices for overhead transmission systems. Participants will ga
 in insights into the engineering principles governing safety clearances\, 
 international standards\, and risk management strategies to ensure reliabi
 lity and personnel safety during live-line operations.\n\nThrough this tec
 hnical session\, engineers\, utility professionals\, and students will enh
 ance their understanding of the intersection between electrical safety\, t
 ransmission system design\, and field maintenance practices — essential 
 for building safer and more resilient power systems.\n\nCo-sponsored by: K
 enya Power &amp; Lighting Company (KPLC)\n\nSpeaker(s): Mazana\n\nVirtual: htt
