AC Secondary Network Distribution Systems

Power & Energy Society

Speaker: Daniel Mungovan, Consulting Engineer, Distribution Field Engineering, National Grid

Time: Refreshments start at 6PM, talk commences at 6:30PM

An A.C. secondary network distribution system is a system of alternating current distribution in which the secondary conductors of the distribution transformers are connected to a common network for supplying light and power directly to consumer’s services. Secondary network systems have been used since the 1920’s as a method of providing a highly reliable source of electric power to densely populated urban areas. In this presentation, Mr. Mungovan will introduce the protective concepts, engineering, and operation of secondary network distribution systems.

Dan is currently a Consulting Engineer in the Distribution Planning & Asset Management Department at National Grid. He has been involved in the planning, engineering, and operation of dense urban underground electrical systems, particularly secondary network systems for 16 years. Mr. Mungovan received the BSEE degree in 2001 and the MSEE degree in 2002 from the Worcester Polytechnic Institute. He joined the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers in 2002, was elevated to senior member grade in 2011, and is currently active in both the Power & Energy Society and the Standards Association. Mr. Mungovan is licensed to practice as a registered professional engineer in the State of Massachusetts.
