Chris Authement Email & Phone Number | Maintain and upgrade all equipment within a PETE plastics extrusion and thermoforming plant. Work closely with engineering headquarters in our corporate branch to recommend and implement equipment changes and/or enhancements. Maintain replaceable parts inventory to minimize machine downtime. Be involved with all electrical related projects with the plant.• Gained insight into advanced single-phase engineering concepts. I.e.: Flux Density, B-H Curves, Core polarization. • Worked daily with simply single-phase engineering concepts. I.e.: Harmonics calculation such as THD, Turn ratios, voltage saturations, Ohm’s law, Kirchhoff’s law. • Performed calculations and testing for applied voltage testing, induced testing, watts loss testing, heat runs, impulse testing, voltage composition testing, resistance, partial discharge/corona, switching surge, and accuracy testing. •Managed team of test personnel. Approximately seven to ten people at any given time. •Design and maintain test in accordance with customer specified national or international testing standards. I.e. IEEE, IEC, CSA, Australian, Russian, and/or Canadian. • Design and implement test systems that I designed per testing requirements from other teams and groups. I.e. Research and Developmental Engineering. • Maintain calibration standards, documentation, and compliance with ISO9001 and other required yet similar standards organizations. • Perform internal and external audits of process standards. • Perform root-cause analysis of problem devices and assist the research and development department with correcting design problems. • Perform daily preventive maintenance work on plant-wide automated systems. • Maintain and install various forms of electrical, pneumatic, and some hydraulic systems throughout both plant locations. This includes “pulling” wire and installing conduit, working with man-lifts and/or cherry pickers, and some light fabrication. • Used my technical writing skills to write and maintain work instructions and give training to test technicians to insure compliance with testing standards and certification of test results. • Maintain RSLogix and PLC ladder logic code for all existing systems. This includes PID controls and timed pulse “drum” systems.• Perform visual and electrical inspections and verifications to medium to large-format power transformers; including Ratio measurements, resistance measurements, and power-factor calculations during pre-tanking phase of construction. • Perform dielectric testing and verification to completed transformers for certification of customer guaranty on transformers rated to 30-40 Megavolt-Amperes, FA. This includes: Ratio re-testing, resistance re-testing, core-to-coil resistance measurements, non-loaded core losses in Watts, loaded core losses in Watts, temperature rise testing, basic-insulation-level (BIL) testing, sweep-frequency-response-analysis, applied potential testing, transformer and bushing power factor. • Perform electrical testing and verification of current transformers on both installed and non-installed current transformers. • Circuit trouble-shooting and fault tracing requiring extensive circuit theory and knowledge of both Ohm’s Laws and Kirchhoff’s Laws. • Dielectric and Power-factor testing of insulating oil and verification of breakdown voltage and temperature using ASTM D1816 and ASTM D877 testing standards. • Perform dew (or frost) point measurements using Shaw and Vaisala dew point measuring sensors.• Utilizing tools such as, digital multi-meters (Oscilloscopes, Wave Generators, Spectrometers, Watt Meters, Ammeters, Volt Meters, Ohmmeters, etc.) • I achieved level V in my Career Development Course for the F-15E AP-90 Radar and Guidance package while stationed at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base. • Performed troubleshooting on hundreds of LRU’s (Line Replaceable Units) which, requires both theory and applied knowledge of circuit design in communications and navigations, to include Infra-red, Military-GPS and laser-guidance systems. • Reading and interpreting blue print/schematics. • Working with our team of engineers, I designed a fire suppression solution for a two-story public library in my hometown, Houma LA, while working for the subcontracted company, AAR Electronics Inc. The final cost of my solution saved AAR Electronics Inc. a total of 9% under the awarded bid price, which became profit. • Performing soldering techniques, transmitting and receiving radio-frequency systems, Troubleshooting AC/DC circuitry systems • Working with Solid-State Application Design and Theory, Digital Interfacing System Design and Theory • Performing electrical maintenance and auto-test station maintenance.• Maintain all electronics and mechanics for all glass bottle inspection equipment. This work involves an understanding of light, high frequency capacitance measurements, oscilloscopes, and multimeters. • Troubleshoot and repair advanced electrical breakdowns including PLC termination and motion controllers. • Troubleshoot and repair pneumatic and hydraulic systems to insure minimal downtime and allow continuous production. • Install and maintain single-phase and three-phase motors, servos, and drives. • Plan scheduled maintenance and all downtime for all primary production equipment and production support equipment. • Plan and implement conduit runs within the NEC / NC code.
