Marco Morello has joined ABB-US at their Youngswood, Pennsylvania facility as an arrester design engineer.  Marco received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering with a Manufacturing Concentration from University of Pittsburgh in 1999.   Previously he worked 8 years as a Project Manager at Compunetics, Inc. manufacturing specialty printed circuit boards.  Welcome Marco to the arrester industry
 

Asle Schei is a person known well in the IEC and CIGRE circles where he participated, lead and convened working groups for nearly 30 years. His most recent position in arrester standards was as Convenor of the now MT4 until 1995 which was responsible for all IEC medium and high voltage arrester standards of significance at that time. 
 
Because his career spanned so many accomplishments, it is difficult to point at one as his most significant, but the founding of TransiNor  along with two others entrepreneurs has to be close to the top of the list.  As the managing director of the business from 1986 to 1995, he led its effort to introduce a technically superior arrester condition monitor that is still on the market today.  The company specialized in transient analysis and related fields.  TransiNor was purchased by the Dobel Company in 2001.  
 
Professor Schei offers these "Words of Wisdom" to up and coming Engineers. "Engineers are very lucky people; their job leads them to very interesting problems especially when one must dig deep for the solution.  Also never be surprised when the outcome of an experiment is different from what you thought it would be.
