  • Abstract
    In my long professional career that has spanned over 40 years, I have handled many technical consulting projects from industries. These include settling technical disputes among corporations and complex failure studies in plants with power electronics equipment. I would like to share with the readers my experiences regarding one particular project, hopefully they will find it very interesting.
