What does it actually mean to know electrical work was done right?

Not hope.
Not assume.
Know.

Dr. Ahmed El-Rasheed has spent his career inside the world of electrical testing and measurement. As Industry Director at Megger, he works at the intersection of power systems, field practice, and the instruments used to verify that critical infrastructure is ready to perform.

In Part 1, Ahmed and Nick cover:

• How Ahmed’s path from taking apart broken VCRs to electrical engineering shaped the way he thinks about measurement

• Why Megger became synonymous with insulation resistance testing in the electrical trades

• The difference between work being done and work being proven

• What Ahmed’s research with Jaguar taught him about visual completion versus verified quality

• Why electrical testing matters before energizing data centers, hospitals, power stations, and other critical infrastructure

• How renewables, HVDC, bidirectional power flow, and data center demand are changing the complexity of the grid

• Why certainty, skilled labor, and documentation matter more as the margin for error gets smaller

Part 2 picks up where this leaves off: testing culture, commissioning, workforce readiness, and what it takes to hold a higher standard in the field before the lights come on.
