PowerCET Corporate Overview Since its founding in 1986, PowerCET Corporation has focused on improving the productivity and reliability of electronic systems through consulting, education and training programs for client companies. PowerCET stresses an understanding of the electromagnetic environment, the effects of adverse power quality, and the means to identify and correct sources of interference. The experience of the PowerCET founders provides the basis for the services offered by PowerCET. Bruce Lonie and Tom Shaughnessy, co-founders of PowerCET Corporation, have extensive experience in the investigation and diagnosis of complex electrical environment problems. They specialize in the application of mitigation equipment to resolve productivity and reliability issues. Services range from investigation of traditional electrical power problems to the solution of complex longitudinal interference problems found on local area networks ( LANs ) and other communication facilities. Test and measurement procedures include low and high frequency observation, testing and problem resolution. Field experience and research efforts by PowerCET's founders have resulted in the development of proprietary monitoring equipment, procedures, and software to automate the data collection and analysis process. Dr. Michael F. Stringfellow, Ph.D., P.E., joined PowerCET Corporation as Chief Scientist in July 1994. He brings with him a wealth of knowledge and experience in the areas of lightning, lightning protection, general power quality, failure analysis and forensic investigations. Dr. Stringfellow manages the PowerCET facility in Scottsdale, Arizona. PowerCET Canada was established effective January 1, 1997 in partnership with Better Technologies Corporation ( BTC ) of Ottawa, Canada. PowerCET Canada will be operated as a division of BTC. The professional staff of the Canadian operation will service the Canadian market and supplement PowerCET ( USA ) in domestic and international operations.
