The main goal of this webinar is to provide considerations for the design and installation of a grounding and bonding system intended primarily for personnel safety (Step and Touch Potential) and manage 60Hz fault currents vs a grounding and bonding system intended to manage transients and protect both personnel and equipment within a designated area.  Drawing from standards, practices, and methods from the Substation, Protection & Control, and IT-Telecom industries, are there opportunities for improvement to develop a safe work environment as well as provide excellence in transient management?

Adrian Zvarych of Qualus

Biography:

Adrian Zvarych, PE

A self-starter, with a BSEE from Carnegie Mellon University (“E82”) and a Florida PE/Electrical license, Adrian has served in the electric utility industry with progressive responsibilities from a field and office design work in relay protection & control and IT/Telecommunications through Regional Director titles. At his field teams’ peak, they led in performance and quality metrics with a very low Incident safety and were among the highest morale and safety marks in the company.  Adrian has been able to grow an engineering team of four resources which produced $750,000 of revenue to fifteen persons and $7M in revenue within about 14 months with his team earning the highest of quality marks from a very difficult client to please.  He has also developed job descriptions for two net-new positions for the company, interviewed candidates. They delivered over $8M worth of engineering projects for a primary utility customer within the next eleven months, fostering high morale and a sense of ownership and accomplishment.  Now he believes it’s his turn to give back to the next generation, he’s been encouraging younger engineers and technicians locally as well as developing and delivering technical papers to the IEEE, and a training course for QualU, a training arm of Qualus Power Services.  He is also serving as a Working Group I45 Chair within the Power System Relay Subcommittee on grounding and bonding practices within the substation control house.

Personally, my lovely wife of over 42 years and I have remodeled several properties, dad to a loving and fun 27 year old daughter, and am also a professional musician, having played in numerous pit bands for live plays, jazz, and rock venues, with world-class touring and local musicians.
