JOINT
SECTION MEETING
----------------------------------
Transient Voltage
Surge Suppression |
 Bob Bell and Bob Collins of Power
Correction Systems will address Transient Voltage
Surge Suppression, its effects and possible
solutions to the damages caused by surges. The
discussions will start on how the high costs of
surges is reflected in maintenance and equipment
costs.
Surges will be defined with emphasis
on their origins and how they effect your
electrical system.
Bob Collins will present a technical
presentation and dis- |
cuss
the physics of surges and the effects of surges
on motors, lighting, circuits, and computers. The
discussion will then cover the testing
requirements that must be met by all surge
suppression manufacturers. We will also discuss
how IEEE and UL Standards effect the quality of
surge suppression available.
There will also be a discussion of
the different types of surge suppression, their
advantages and disadvantages followed by a
question and answer period.

| BIOGRAPHY
--------------------------------------------------- |
Bob Bell is the Director of
Marketing at Power Correction Systems. He
attended
University of Houston in the 1950's studying
architecture and technology. Over the past forty
years, he has worked in the industrial sector of
Houston, Texas, concentrating on developing
automated processes for industrial and
manufacturing applications.
During the 1970's, he formed
an independent organization to supply automated
technology, including both information and
equipment.
Bob Collins is the Director of
Engineering at Power Correction Systems. He
obtained an Associates Degree in Electrical |
Engineering Technologies in the 1960's. Bob has
accumulated thirty two years of both digital and
analog design experience. Through the 1970's, he
specialized in designing control systems for
automated welding equipment. During the 1980's,
Bob formed an independent organization, providing
automated design, processes, and equipment in the
Houston area. He has designed hardware
accelerators to cornpress/decompress scanned
image data and specializes in machine automation
for the industrial and manufacturing sectors.
They both joined Power Correction
Systems in 1991. |
