Nelson graduated from the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana, in 1970, with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, and a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering, from the University of Colorado Boulder, in He performed post graduate studies in business administration from Prior to his retirement, Mr. Nelson held positions with Public Service Company of Colorado, from , Power Line Models, from and NEI Electric Power Engineering from In December 2014, Mr. Nelson retired as the CEO and a principle engineer of NEI Electric Power Engineering which he founded in Mr. Nelson has also been active in the IAS Petroleum and Chemical Industry Committee since 1980 where he received the Russel W. Mills award for outstanding contributions to PCIC. Mr. Nelson was elevated to IEEE Fellow in 1999 and is the recipient of the 2012 Harold Kaufman award. Mr. Nelson is a registered professional engineer in the state of Colorado, as well as eight other states. 2 IAS Webinar Series
3 Webinar Abstract Abstract: The webinar on Safety Through Proper System Grounding and Ground Fault Protection is intended for the practicing electric power engineer whether a recent graduate or a seasoned engineer. The webinar will begin with a brief discussion on electrical safety and ground faults. The term system grounding should not be confused with the requirements for equipment grounding. The fundamentals of system grounding will be covered which will include solidly, ungrounded and impedance grounded systems. The use of symmetrical components will be briefly discussed as a tool for better understanding ground fault currents and ground fault protection. A brief discussion will be held on generator and motor protection which is a little more complex that standard feeder protection. Finally, a brief discussion will be held concerning the application of surge arresters and power cables based on the type of system grounding used. 3 IAS Webinar Series
