Electrical Designer

Title: Electrical Designer

Department: Engineering

Work Location: Onsite (Colborne)

FLSA Status: Exempt

 Position Description:

The Electrical Designer will be responsible for the electrical design and development of distribution transformers in compliance with IEEE, CSA, and customer specifications. This role requires a sound foundation of electrical engineering design principles as they pertain to the electrical requirements unique to transformer applications. This role involves preparation and review of detailed designs and calculations in accordance with applicable standards and manufacturing constraints.

Key Responsibilities:

Design and Development:

• Develop and validate transformer electrical configurations including high and low voltage winding arrangements (e.g., delta, wye, series/parallel), impedance, and insulation coordination for voltage classes up to 35 kV.

• Check electrical designs against material characteristics and performance criteria, such as:
• Core and Load losses
• Impedance and voltage regulation
• Flux and current densities
• Dielectric withstand and BIL

• Define and specify major components such as:
• Tap changers and Dual Voltage switches
• Bushings, arrest
