• Engineered and integrated Emergency Stop circuitry for test stations, providing immediate full-power isolation in response to electrical hazardous conditions.
• Designed a 240 VAC electrical switch box intended to interrupt the HV supply in the event of an electrical hazard. The system operated in coordination with the E‑STOP circuit, providing an added layer of safety. The design incorporated SCRs, relays, and regulated power supplies, mounted on DIN rails for a compact and serviceable layout. The switch box has remained in reliable operation to the present day.
• Constructed detailed electrical drawings for a 1,600‑sq‑ft floor plan in the TEST Department, incorporating all AC voltage requirements and line‑drop specifications. The layout included 480VAC three‑phase line drops, 240VAC 30‑amp single‑phase circuits, and multiple network/internet port locations.
• Developed a comprehensive Hazard Assessment and Risk Control (HARC) for high‑voltage testing operations, identifying electrical, arc‑flash, and equipment‑related hazards. Established standardized testing protocols, mitigation strategies, and PPE requirements to ensure compliance with OSHA regulations, significantly improving operational safety and reducing risk exposure.
