Doble Client Committees

In the Words of Our Clients: Doble Client Committee Meetings

Doble is the epicenter of knowledge for the electric power industry, in part by providing the forum for industry representatives to share information and ideas. Doble's technical conferences are highly regarded in the industry because they are designed "by and for" our utility, industrial and testing company clients.

The Doble Client Committees each focus on a specific area of interest and related knowledge and maintenance practices. Over the years, these Committees have developed reference guides and other projects that now serve as excellent reference tools.

The Doble Client Committees Meetings serve as valuable forums for the direct exchange of information and experience. The eight "apparatus" technical committees that comprise the Doble Client Committees meet in North America each September/October. The location for these Meetings is different each year, in order to circulate the event around the North American client community.

Each Committee has a Chair and Vice-Chair who are both elected from Doble's utility client company delegates. Each Committee also has a Secretary held by a representative of Doble as well as an Assistant Secretary. Committee officers are elected by the client committee members and typically serve a two year term.

The focus for all Committee meetings is the lifetime care of power equipment used in transmission, distribution, power and industrial plant. In order to structure our discussion, the elements of this activity are broken into separate committees.

Following are the current Doble Client Committees:

• Arresters, Capacitors, Cables and Accessories (ACCA)
• Asset and Maintenance Management (AMM)
• Bushings, Insulators and Instrument Transformers (BIIT)
• Circuit Breakers (CB)
• Insulating Materials (IM)
• Protection, Automation, Communications and Controls (PACC)
• Rotating Machinery (RM)
• Transformers (TX)

In addition:

There is also an Oil Committee which undertakes oil research and a review of the oil quality of the internationally available supply. The Oil Committee Meeting is open to paid members only.

Who can join the Doble Client Committees?

Any Doble Client from a utility, industrial or testing company can join as many Client Committees as they wish. In addition, any Doble utility, industrial and testing company clients are invited to attend any of the eight main Committee meetings without officially "joining" that committee.

Joining a committee does not obligate you to a significant contribution of time and effort unless you choose to do so. Being a committee member simply implies that you plan to actively participate in the meeting discussions. Committee members are encouraged to come to meetings prepared and dedicated to making that meeting a more useful one. But all attendees should be aware - the more everyone can contribute, sharing their own experiences and viewpoints, the more successful the meetings are for everyone.

If you are interested in joining a Doble Client Committee, please send an email to events@doble.com and it will be forwarded to the appropriate Committee secretary.

Who can attend the Doble Client Committee Meetings?

Any Doble client from a utility, industrial or testing company with a Doble Services Agreement is invited to attend the Doble Client Committee Meetings.
