Robert W. Stanley received his B.S. in Engineering Science at Penn State in 1964 and became a Registered Professional Engineer in the state of Georgia in 1972. He is a Senior Design Engineer with 40 years’ experience in the operation, maintenance, application, and design of electrical power transformers. This experience includes low, medium, and high voltage transformers with/without LTC as used in steel industry, chemical industry, power plants, and substations. Before joining Ohio Transformer, he was with General Electric for 13 years and Armco Steel for 1 year.
As a Product Engineer Trainee, Mr. Stanley determined and designed components for the filter and feedback circuit of an A.C. voltage regulator, demonstrated the feasibility of field effect transitors for detecting insulation faults in wire production, achieved theoretical understanding of an ATL design of a gate turn-off inverter circuit, and determined characteristics of a prototype solenoid coil used on a developmental current limiting circuit breaker. As an Insulation Development Engineer, he assisted in planning a new laboratory testing facility with primary responsibilities for vapor phase drying and test tank treat system; insulation studies of dry-type transformers with dry-type insulating materials, prototype transformers, and miscellaneous test coils; transient analysis of both dry-type and liquid-type windings of various constructions to determine feasibility; assisting with quality control with internal audits of all power transformers rated 69KV and above to prevent test failures; and correcting engineering errors and poor manufacturing processes to set quality standards. As a Senior Design Engineer, he designed power transformers to meet customer requirements of three-phase ratings up to 100,000 KVA self-cooled and 1050 BIL with/without LTC (regulating, series, and reactor units).
