About me
I am a Control and Instrumentation Section Leader currently working in a maintenance department at KELVIN POWER in Kempton Park ,South Africa. I have a wealth of experience in a variety of field instrumentation and devices. I have worked with different temperature measuring instruments and transmitters and converters.
I have also worked on steam turbines with a number of vibration instruments, displacement devices. I have the ability to do calibration, commissioning and fault finding on a variety of transmitters and loops. Can use different handheld communication devices to calibrate and configure transmitters and loops. I do not have an electrical qualification but ever since I’ve been employed at Kelvin power station I’ve been exposed to electrical wiring and fault finding technics.I have also done a lot of PLC and DCS wiring up to the channel for these brands..(ABB, Mitsubishi, Siemens, Modicon and Honeywell).However let me point out that when it comes to PLC programming my exposure and knowledge is limited because at my company there is a department/team for that.
