Speaker at 4 Feb OrcNet details:

Speaker: Peter E Perkins, PE

                              IEEE Life Fellow

                              IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society 2020 Distinguished Lecturer

Topic: Dalziel revisited 75 years later; analysis of mized bipolar and monopolar waveforms

Abstract: Based on his 1943 paper Professor Charles F Dalziel extended his Let-go effects analysis to mixed AC and DC waveforms plus various shaped non-sinusoidal waveforms to determine reasonable safe current limits feeling that it could be applied to any waveform.  This presentation revisits his analysis and extends it to modern non-sinusoidal waveforms to provide a substantiation for application of this analysis to non-sinusoidal touch currents found in modern electronic equipment.

Speaker Bio:  Peter E Perkins, BS Engr, MSEE, PE is an IEEE Life Fellow.  He has 60 years’ experience in the electronics industry. In more than half if his >30-year career at Tektronix, Inc. he was Corporate Product Safety and Regulatory Affairs Manager organizing and directing a corporate wide effort to provide assuredly safe products.  After leaving that company he started his own Product Safety and Regulatory consulting activity which he still operates.  He has received the IEC 1906 award which honors exceptional leadership and technical contributions to IEC standards; he is a recipient of the Michael J Demartini award of the IEEE EMC-PSTC, forerunner of the IEEE PSES today; he is an ongoing contributor to the IEEE/ISPCE symposiums from the beginning. He is a IEEE PSES 2020 Distinguished Lecturer.  He is involved in IEC technical standards work with IEC TC 66, IEC 61010 series ‘Safety of electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use’ as well as IEC TC 108, IEC 62368 series ‘Safety of audio/visual, information and communication technology equipment’ plus Convenor of IEC TC 108/WG5, IEC 60990, ‘Measurement of touch current and protective conductor current’. He is also involved in the US mirror committees for these standards.  He is an American electric shock expert and involved with IEC TC 64/WG4, IEC 60479 series standards plus ANSI/UL 101.
