Purpose of Seminar:
Motors are the most common industrial component in the world. Having a basic understanding of how to select,
size and replace a motor is what this course is all about. Money and time saved by having a proper understanding
of the motors and applications in your system is the end benefit.
Don’t let a simple, common component be the cause of serious, expensive and repeat problems. Eliminate that
factor buy making sure you have sound motor fundamentals at your facility. One trick or piece of advice learned
from this seminar will pay for the cost of the training over, and over, and over…
Training like this doesn’t cost - it pays.
Who should take this course?
This course is designed for anyone whose work is affected by motors at their facility, whether they are mechanics
doing the work, a supervisor in charge of fixing problems, or purchasing agents responsible for saving money.
Attendees come from a wide variety of industries, skill-levels, company sizes, and backgrounds, so if you're not
sure you'll fit in or will benefit from these classes, don't worry - you will - as long as you work around motors!
