There is nothing like the thrill of running 30,000 amperes through a
circuit breaker, hearing the hum of several hundred kVA of power,
watching huge cables jump like startled snakes, smelling the ozone
from the arcs as it trips, and then being able to analyze the waveform
using software. And having the satisfaction that I have engineered
every component in the system, from the 500 lb transformer and the
sleek industrial enclosure, to the sensitive electronic circuitry that
controls the power and measures the required data, and the software
that allows the user to do this safely and easily.

OMG, please! You *may* have selected the components, but you sure as
hell
didn't design them, not unless you have been working for Rockwell
Automation, Siemens, or SquareD for your entire career and have working
across product lines without anyone else's help. All that stuff is
standard off the shelf. Not only that, it's basic as hell.

You are such a liar!

Of course I did not design the standard parts that comprise the specialized
components that are used in the test set. We use components from the
manufacturers you listed, and some of them are also our customers. Our
products are used for primary injection testing of circuit breakers made by
GE, Westinghouse, ABB, and many others, and I have worked with engineers at
their manufacturing and service shops all over the country.

What I'm saying is that I have had a unique opportunity to design and build
these instruments from basic component level to the end product, which
requires skills in many areas, including electrical and electronic design,
mechanical design, and software. And I must also give credit to others who
designed and built earlier versions of similar equipment. But, for most of
my career, I have been either the only engineer, or one of perhaps 3 or 4,
and I have made many unique contributions to the field of electrical
protective device testing.

There is no need to call me a liar, unless you can substantiate your claim.
Perhaps you should take issue with Matt, who made several statements that
can be proven to be untrue. Lashing out at people you dislike for some
reason may make you feel better, but making false statements does nothing
good for your image.
