Most techs are reading voltage. Few know what they're looking at.

There's a reading that kills motors slowly — and the meter looks fine when it's happening. This sheet covers that one and four others veterans check on every call. Free. One page.

What it covers
  • 5 critical readings — what good looks like, and exactly what it's telling you when it's off
  • The one check most techs skip — it doesn't show up on the meter as a problem, but it's running the motor into the ground
  • A 3-step field calculation — takes 60 seconds, tells you whether the supply is the problem before you touch anything else
  • A voltage mismatch warning — two numbers techs treat as interchangeable that aren't, and what it costs when you get it wrong

RTUs + motors/pumps. Built for the field, not the classroom.

"Finally — a reference that shows you what the reading means, not just what it should be. The unbalance section alone is worth it."
