About Me (Bio): Since 1997 Dr Anderson has been working as an independent electrical consultant specialising in electrical machine and control system failure investigations and expert witness work. He has investigated a wide range of electrical/electronic related problems on behalf of various UK and US-based organizations in UK, France, Germany, Belgium, Mexico, Colombia and Canada.
He has investigated many issues, including: high speed stepper motor failures; switching transient problems in motor windings caused by pulse-width modulated inverters; electromagnetic bearing failures; mechanically induced EMI in generator rotors, and generator core failures.
Since 2000 he has also been investigating power electronics-related malfunctions in automobiles, including intermittent malfunctions of an electronic stability system and malfunctions in electronic speed control systems.
He has a BSc (Honours, i.e. Cum Laudes) in Electrical Engineering and a PhD (Electronic Control of Switched Reluctance Motors), both from the University of St Andrews, Queens College Dundee; Scotland, UK.
Previous experience includes: electronic control of rolling mill drives; simulation of variable speed drives; transient performance and stability of electrical machines; organizing superconducting machine design including minimization of effects of high strength rotating magnetic fields, screening etc; investigating transient electromagnetic field effects in large conventional a.c. machines.
He is a Fellow of the Institution of Engineering Technology (FIET) (formerly known as the IEE, Institution of Electrical Engineers, since 1871), a Fellow of the Institution of Diagnostic Engineers and a Member of the IEEE.
