PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

METROCHEM INDUSTRIES LTD Gujarat, India

$49M international manufacturer / seller of dyestuff and dye intermediates

Electrical Engineer 2004 to 2006

Operated and controlled systems within 3MW thermal power plant and electrical equipment (mostly motor, AC,

and DC drive) used in heavy chemical plant; conducted preventative maintenance on transformer, circuit

breaker, motors, insulator, isolators, and wiring for power and controllers.

Held full accountability for managing Plug Setting (P.S), Time Multiplier Setting (TMS), and voltage,

current, and frequency settings

Leveraged extensive knowledge of online diagrams), protective relaying, equipment specifications,

system analysis, schematics, interconnections, and circuits to prepare drawings and calculations for

grounding, lighting protection, fault calculation, and system monitor at PCC (Power Control Center) and

MCC ( Motor control Center).

W orked with AC and DC drive to provide required level of current and voltage to electrical equipment

and controllers.

Performed electrical calculations for load analysis, voltage drops, short circuits, power factor

corrections, and time-current coordination to maintain system health and reduce cost of operations
