Rhett Kelly, MV Switchgear’s Technology Development Specialist, was recently awarded two certificates of recognition for his contributions over the past six years to both international and national standardisation of high voltage switchgear, controlgear and switchgear assemblies.
Rhett displays the certificates of recognition awarded to him by the SA National Committee of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and the SA Bureau of Standards.
Both the SA National Committee (SANC) of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and the SA Bureau of Standards (SABS) presented him with certificates late last year recognising and commending him for demonstrating consistent dedication and participation in various IEC and SABS working groups and maintenance teams.
The SANC is responsible for South Africa’s electrotechnical interests in the IEC’s management, standardisation and conformity assessment work and represents all of South Africa’s stakeholders in interactions with the IEC.
Rhett has been a core member of the SANC since 2014. He is an executive committee member of the Electrical Manufacturers Association of SA (EMASA) and represents the industry association as a full participating member in various SABS technical committees responsible for the standardisation of various types of electrical equipment.
Rhett is also the Chairman of the IEC technical committee TC17 for high voltage switchgear and controlgear in South Africa and represents South Africa at international meetings.
