Guidance to help engineers draft comprehensive and clear purchasing specifications for capacitor banks. Roy W. Alexander is a life fellow of IEEE and Distinguished member of CIGRE. From 1972 – 2010 he was an engineer at PPL Electric Utilities in various positions, from 1995 -2010 as Sr. Staff Engineer/Scientist. At PPL he was known as "Mr. capacitor" having been capacitor specialist  from 1973 - 2010.  Aside from numerous 69kV capacitor banks, Roy designed PPL's first 138 kV capacitor bank, 1979, first 230 kV capacitor bank 1980 and first 550kV capacitor banks 1985. In 2005 He designed the "Ultra Reliable" 230 and 550 kV capacitor banks for the Susquehanna Nuclear Station Switchyards. He and his wife currently have a power engineering consulting firm RWA Engineering LLC in Cranberry Township, PA since 2010.  | NEMA Capacitor
