2 2016 POWERTEST CONFERENCE | PREVIEW GUIDE

Throughout history, Washington, D.C., has been a touchstone for leadership, initiative, and passion — a mecca for those dedicated to the highest ideals and aspirations of both leading and serving a nation. People come to D.C. to share ideas, to communicate, to engage. It’s a perfect environment to energize PowerTest 2018 — in fact, no city represents power more literally and figuratively than Washington, D.C.With its broad avenues and majestic neoclassical architecture, Washington, D.C., is a city overflowing with history. Monuments and memorials engage you with our nation’s most influential leaders as well as its fallen heroes. The city is a tapestry of all the people and cultures and stories that make our country great.Though deeply rooted in history, D.C. is always fertile ground for new restaurants, bars, and stores. From the hip neighborhoods of Capitol Hill to U Street to fascinating museums and tree-filled parks, the city has a retreat for everyone. Washington, D.C., is a place where relationships are formed and plans are made. As the premier event for electrical power systems professionals, PowerTest 2018 will thrive in the highly charged rhythm of this city. Exploring D.C., you can feel the power, the leadership. It’s an electric environment sure to ignite PowerTest 2018 attendees’ desire to connect, learn, explore, and grow in their knowledge of electrical maintenance and safety.

PowerTest Heads to Washington, D.C. in 2018.

SYMPOSIUM

Electrical Incident Reviews and Case Studies:What Can We Learn?Moderator: Ron Widup, Shermco IndustriesRemember the time you witnessed a 480-volt fault first hand? And if you heard it more than once, that shotgun blast was likely the same sound each time. Have you seen the effects a medium-voltage electrical arc flash can have on the human body? What can we learn from these incidents? There are many documented cases of electrical equipment failures or injury from electrical contact

or burns. This symposium will present several case studies, provide opinions as to the cause, and more importantly, share actions that could have been taken to prevent the incident from occurring in the first place. We can always learn from our life experiences and knowledge…this session will capitalize on this concept with experts in the industry providing insight and analysis to help us in our quest to live an incident-free existence in the world of electrical power. Don’t miss this very informative session!
