Jared Cuchapin, REE
Electrical engineer at a Philippine distribution utility, with hands-on work in power line design, substation design and system loss reduction. This site is where I share the methods, tools and lessons from that work.
What I’ve Worked On
🗼Power Line Design & Construction
Line projects and steel pole design, factory acceptance testing, and design standards. Many of the calculators on this site began as tools I built for this work.
🏭Substation Design & Construction
Transformer upgrades, new breaker bays at 69 kV and 138 kV, design reviews for larger substations, and standard equipment specifications.
🔧Operations and Maintenance
Metering testing and diagnostics, line maintenance, conductor upgrades and pole replacement programs.
📈System Loss Reduction
My current focus: technical and non-technical loss studies using load flow simulation and data analytics.
🎓Credentials
- Registered Electrical Engineer, Top-10 board exam placer
- BS Electrical Engineering, cum laude
- Master of Engineering Program Major in EE
- PAMAV-Certified Energy Auditor
- Member, Institute of Integrated Electrical Engineers of the Philippines (IIEE)
💬Why this site exists
Most of what I know about designing lines and substations, I learned on the job, from senior engineers, vendor manuals and a lot of trial and error. EngineeringStuffs puts that practical knowledge in one place: worked methods, calculators you can check your own designs against, and a free reviewer for the next batch of REE examinees.
Everything here is for educational use. Always verify designs with a licensed engineer and your governing codes. The views on this site are my own and not my employer’s.
