Lead Course Instructor: David Windley, Wintek Engineering

This Forum is designed to educate industrial, commercial, and institutional motor users in the methods and tools necessary to implement an optimum motor management strategy.

Motors loads represent 50 to 70 percent of all electrical power consumed. Optimum motor management can positively affect production levels, cost of operation, and maintenance costs.

Motor theory is covered briefly to give the delegate an idea of how motors work. Understanding the proper application of motors to a particular load is critical to motor life and reliability. Various types of loads and their characteristics will be reviewed for proper motor selection. Protection of the motor against unusual circumstances ensures that it maximize its useful life. A discussion of conventional and modern solid sate protection will clear up any protection questions. Accurate failure analysis can pinpoint the reason for failure so that it can be avoided in the future. Various failure modes and their prevention will be discussed. A program of preventative and predictive maintenance goes a long way to extending the life of the motor and reducing process downtime.

Delegates will have the opportunity to ask our experts specific questions and share experiences relating to their unique situations. The forum is designed to be an interactive, problem solving, learning environment for delegates of all disciplines.

David Windley, P.Eng., C.I.M.,
WINTEK Engineering Ltd
David is a professional electrical engineer with an extensive background in power distribution, industrial motor controls, and process instrumentation. A graduate of Electrical Engineering at the University of Waterloo, he has held progressive engineering and management positions in the petrochemical, utility, manufacturing, and engineering sectors.
One of his areas of expertise is industrial power distribution and motor control where he has been the key participant in numerous installations. His solid background in this area has ensured cost-effective, practical designs that work and carry a high degree of reliability and maintainability.
Having been involved in PLC systems since the early 1980^^s, David has developed a great understanding of these systems and how they relate to industrial applications and processes. He has an extensive knowledge of applying PLC technology to real world situations and has taken projects from conception through the design and programming stage to successful commissioning and operation. This includes projects for boiler management, interlocked start-up and shutdown sequences, machine controls, batch weighing and mixing, test equipment, process control, and data acquisition systems. His solid background in motor controls and his maintenance management experience have given him the ability to ensure that the system considers all factors and works on the plant floor. This includes equipment protection, mechanical considerations, power quality, grounding, safety issues, and interfacing with other systems.
David is the president and principal engineer of WINTEK Engineering Limited, a full service electrical engineering firm specializing in the design and analysis of Power Distribution and Industrial Control Systems.
He is a registered professional engineer in PEO and is a member of the Industry Applications and Power Engineering Societies of the IEEE, the Instrument Society of America, and the Canadian Institute of Management.
