Comments from Past Attendees:

"Very interesting Seminar. Good to speak with experts. Definitely worth it"

"Thank you for not presenting a 'Basics of Transformers' course. Lots of material was covered.
It was very challenging."

"Focus on the technical level was good. It provided the value we were looking for."

"Plant tour was excellent. Could have spent more time in the Winding department.  People were knowledgeable and very proud of what they do."

"They knew about the specific transformer that was being built for my company. I was impressed
with that."

“I got the whole picture of how the design process works from the customer (me) standpoint –
how it goes through Sales, the Electrical Engineer, detailed Specs, and the importance of
customer-manufacturer interaction.”

“This has been an outstanding opportunity for me to see what’s involved in designing a transformer.
My background is in testing and re-processing and I am just getting back into transformer installations. I really appreciate your program and hospitality.”
