About the event
In addition to our Electrical Engineering Group members, we extend the invitation to members of the Institution of Engineering & Technology (IET) , the Illumination Engineering Society (IES), Institute of Electrical & Electronic Engineers (IEEE), the International Council on Large Electric Systems (CIGRE), the Chartered Institute of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) and the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAS).
This presentation will introduce airfield ground lighting (AGL) and AGL design. If you are interested in aviation and how airport lighting operates, this will be a good presentation for you to attend.
The intention of the presentation is to introduce airfield lighting and will provide an understanding of the different components of an AGL 6.6A 5kv series circuit and different technologies used airside.
Following the presentation John will be available to answer your questions.
The presentation will start at 5:30pm sharp.
