Engineering Training Courses in Calgary at the Calgary Pump Symposium
The Calgary Pump Symposium comes back this year and has prepared five rotating equipment training courses. This September 26, you can register for this specific course in Electric Motors and Variable Frequency Drives. All of our engineering training courses are taking place on the first day of the Symposium. On the second day, we have scheduled a variety of presentations that you can check here.
Rotating Equipment Training in Calgary
Designed by experts in the industry, this engineering training course will cover AC electric induction motor design and applications. Our one-day course about Electric Motors and Variable Frequency Drives will be taught by Jochem Kamstra who is the Business Development Manager Large Motors & Drives at Siemens Canada; and Patrick Robinson who is a Senior Partner at Altelec Technical Services. Learn more about Jochem Kamstra and Patrick Robinson here.
