Interview Question: Can you discuss a project or problem you have encountered in your previous work experience and explain how you resolved it?

As an Electrical Engineer, I once encountered a project where we were tasked with designing a power distribution system for a commercial building. During the implementation phase, we discovered that there was a discrepancy in the load calculations that were provided to us by the client. This led to an imbalance in the distribution of power to different sections of the building, resulting in frequent circuit overloads and disruptions to the power supply.

To resolve this issue, I conducted a thorough review of the load calculations and performed on-site measurements to accurately determine the power requirements of each section of the building. I then re-designed the power distribution system to ensure that the loads were properly balanced and distributed evenly across the building. Additionally, I implemented measures such as load shedding and diversification to prevent future overloads and ensure continuous power supply.

Through effective communication with the client and collaboration with the project team, we were able to successfully rectify the issue and ensure the smooth operation of the power distribution system. This experience taught me the importance of thorough planning, accurate calculations, and effective problem-solving skills in the field of Electrical Engineering.
