...I am regularly engaged to consult in the areas of electrical engineering for residential, commercial, and industrial systems, electrical system failures, code compliance review, technical investigation of incidents involving industrial electrical power distribution systems and industrial control systems, scope of damage, and analysis of costs to repair or replace electrical equipment and systems. I also consult on incidents involving garage door and gate systems. As a member of the ANSI/Underwriters Laboratories Standards Technical Panel 325 (UL-325) Standard for Safety for Door, Drapery, Gate, Louver, and Window Operators and Systems, I have significant experience in reviewing and interpreting the standard. The UL-325 standard specifies the safety requirements for garage doors, gates, and the electronic control systems for doors and gates. As an STP-325 member, I make and review recommendations for revisions and vote to approve (or reject) revisions to the UL-325 standard.
