Surge Protection Hall of Fame
Bob Hileman, as he is known to most, is the author of the most comprehensive book on Insulation Coordination ever written. His 766 page, 18 chapter masterpiece, is simply titled "Insulation Coordination for Power Systems." It is currently the most often referenced book on this important subject in the overvoltage protection world. Before retirement in the early 2000s his presence at IEEE and IEC meetings was larger than life. His depth of knowledge in power systems went well beyond insulation coordination. When he spoke in his unique raspy voice, he had everyone's undivided attention. His comments and guidance in the business is among the best of the best. Even to this day, seldom does an insulation coordination meeting go on without some reference to "What did Bob say in chapter so-and-so on this subject?" His contribution to standards continues on.
