The Motor Doctor

In 1980, several of us got the idea to develop a series of seminars for distributors and Original Equipment Manufacturers to discuss servicing, installing, and troubleshooting electric motors in the field. It was a way to educate service technicians and others about the "tricks of the trade," how to safely and properly get the most out of electric motors. We needed a name for the seminar, and some wag suggested: "why don't you call yourself the Motor Doctor?" The name stuck. In the years since, we've put on hundreds of seminars all over the country, appeared at countless tradeshows, and, for the last 12 years, have written a regular series for a number of trade publications. Now we're on the web, and I'm looking forward to sharing my 30 years of motor experience with an entirely new audience.
