Campus Bulk Electrical Distribution

In 1983 there was no full-time engineer working full-time on a large university high voltage power grid. We know this from the peer-university job description and salary research undertaken by the Human Resource Department. Mike Anthony at the University of Michigan was the first. His engagement with the National Fire Protection Association and the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers continues to this day.

College and university campuses distribute electric energy in tranches of 10 to 250 megawatts; typically at voltages above 1000 VAC and are generally regarded as load-side services (or regulated utility customers). Two fairly stable sections of the National Electrical Code set the standard of care for these systems — Part III of Article 110 and Article 495.

We will examine them during today’s High Voltage Electric Service colloquium.

We collaborate closely with the IEEE Education & Healthcare Facilities Committee which meets online 4 times per month in European and American time zones.  Ahead of the August 2024 public comment deadline we will examine transcripts of technical action on this topic:
