Dave Neal joined Ontario Hydro in 1975 and completed his career as an instructor at their Orangeville training center. He provided safety, testing, maintenance and troubleshooting training to apprentices and journeyman on generators, transformers, circuit breakers, switchgear, cables, motors, batteries & chargers and protection and control systems up to 550 kV. His 40 years of high-voltage experience make him an engaging and interesting electrical safety instructor as he has “been there, seen it and got the T-shirt.” Dave regularly teaches plant personnel how to safely and properly disconnect and reconnect their main substations to the utility grid whether it is a 138kV pipeline compressor station or a 500kV wind farm.
