Presenter
Mike Davis is an Electrical Engineer with over 45 years’ experience in electrical rotating
equipment, essentially centred on the repair, redesign and maintenance of electrical
rotating plant.
He has developed an intense academic interest in machine failure mechanisms and root
cause analysis of electrical machinery failure, and has presented papers throughout
Australia, New Zealand, United States of America, South East Asia and South Africa.
Over the last 25 years Mike has developed tailored machines training courses which have
been presented to end users in USA, NZ, Australia, South Africa, Indonesia, Singapore
and Malaysia.
Mike has been actively involved in several Australian Standard committees and also
undertaken a statutory role as an accredited assessing authority for the New South
Wales Department of Minerals and Energy.
