My friends at HVB-AE Power Systems always come up with something to get my attention. I stopped by today and talked with Stephanie Hayden. We have known each other for many years and it is always great to visit with her. The theme of their booth is the evolution of the gas circuit breaker.

I am a history buff and this was fascinating, but more so was where we are going next. Ask them about the gasless power circuit breaker. I think it should prove interesting.

I stopped at the MR booth to talk with Ray Williams. MR (Reinhausen) has been making LTCs for a long time and has a lot of technology and have some new ideas to talk about.

They have a really cool toy too. The LED plastic cube. It can be dropped in a friend’s drink (after they have had several drinks under their belt). It drive your friends crazy with the colored lights. Go talk to Ray and his friends.

I ran into Dave Harris from Waukesha today. He has some interesting things to say about where the substation transformer technology is headed. I am sure he will share these facts with you. Stop by and say hi. Telling him you read about him on the blog!
