Guest Speaker: Dave Stetzer has been an electrician by training, education and experience for over 40 years. He began his career in electricity in the U.S. Air Force in 1970 attending electronics school at Keesler Air Force Base – the world’s #1 electronics school at the time – and completed training as a ground radio communications electronics technician with top-secret military clearance and, later on, crypto access. Dave’s primary duties included diagnosing and repairing a variety of electronic equipment, including PC boards, Klystron tubes and integrated circuits, as well as highly classified military electronic equipment and crypto equipment, employing among other things, spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, signal generators, and digital frequency counters.
Dave founded Stetzer Electric, Inc. and remains president and CEO to this day. Since the firm’s inception, Dave has specialized in power control in industry, municipalities, and motor control centers. For nearly the past two decades, Dave has focused more attention on power quality analysis and troubleshooting, which led to the development of the STETZERiZER (Graham-Stetzer) Filter and Microsurge Meter. During that time, Dave has been called on as an expert witness in electricity in several court cases, authored and co-authored numerous scientific papers, and traveled the world measuring, troubleshooting, and speaking about dirty electricity, ground current, and other electrical issues. Dave is also a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and is actively involved in research projects around the world.
