For Immediate Release: June 1, 2008
SUCCESS by DESIGN

In a unanimous vote, Howard W Penrose, Ph.D., CMRP, President of SUCCESS by DESIGN and Executive Director of the Institute of Electrical Motor Diagnostics, Inc. was elected to the Board of Directors for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.’s (IEEE) Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation Society (DEIS) AdCom on May 31, 2008, effective June 1, 2008 with the term through December 31, 2009.

The IEEE DEIS oversees the development of IEEE Standards related to insulation testing, rotating machines, generators, transformers, certain electronics, and bleeding edge electrical insulation and dielectric R&D.  It is an international body with representation world-wide.  The objectives of the Society are technical, scientific, literary, and educational. DEIS strives for the advancement of the theory and practice of electrical and electronics engineering and the related arts and sciences, in consonance with the Constitution and Bylaws of the IEEE. The field of interest of the IEEE Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation Society is the study and application of dielectric phenomena and behavior and the development, characterization and application of all gaseous, liquid and solid electrical insulating materials and systems utilized in electrical and electronic equipment. The Society is also involved in the creation of voluntary engineering standards and the recommended practices related thereto.

Dr. Penrose’s work and independent research on rotating machines, alternate insulation testing methods, work on machine standards, work with IEEE DEIS and associated conferences since 1993, general elected and appointed positions within IEEE, position on rotating machine and insulation system education and research, and work within industry were all cited by members of the board during the election.

Information on his work related to IEEE DEIS and industry research was published in IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine in the following article in their March/April 2008 edition: http://www.motordoc.com/news/ieeearticle.pdf
