Patrick brings more than 20 years of design, analysis, testing and troubleshooting components commonly used in Power Generation and Distribution, as well as extensive experience in damage and failure analysis of electrical fires. He specializes in failure analysis of electrical power system components, analysis of power systems, and design/integration of power system components. Patrick has conducted a variety of investigations and studies involving electrical fires and explosions, power system transients, disturbances, short circuit analysis, outages, trip events, equipment failures, protective device coordination, arc flash events, switching failures, harmonics, electromagnetic interference and other electrical phenomena. He has extensive experience in investigating the root cause of failures to electrical systems and components after impact from power quality, design/installation/operation deficiencies, fire loss, and water intrusion. He is also well versed in medium voltage generation and distribution systems including steam turbine generator and diesel voltage regulators, motor generator sets, solid-state voltage frequency converters, variable frequency drives, switchboards, load centers, motor control centers, battery energy storage systems, motors, and transformers.
