Rewinding Old Motor

Rewinding Old Motor

Rewinding Old Motor

(OP)
HI
WHERE WE STAY WE HAVE THE POWER FREQUENCY OF 50 HZ @ 240 VOLTS BUT I HAVE 2 SINGLE PHASE MOTORS WITH ME WITH A 60 HZ RATING WHICH I HAVE USED ON THE 50HZ DUTY, BUT RECENTLY IT JUST BURNT, I AM PLANNING TO REWIND THAT FOR FUTURE USE BUT THE WINDERS HAVE SUGGESTED TO ME NOT TO WIND IT, BUT I REALLY NEED THAT TWO MOTORS TO WORK AT MY WORKSITE, ANY IDEAS WHAT I SHALL DO.
HELP APPRECIATED.

RE: Rewinding Old Motor

Buy a new single phase 50hz motor. Unless the motor is something really unusual its probably cheaper to buy one than to rewind anyway.

RE: Rewinding Old Motor

So your options are...

1. Buy another motor
2. Find someone to rewind

Third, is really not an option: TAKE OFF YOUR CAP LOCK. Typing in all caps is considered to be like shouting and is very impolite.

I anticipate your apology to the two individuals who previously responded.

Skip,

Sorry sir that wont happen again, but thank you so much for your help.

RE: Rewinding Old Motor

It depends on Labour rates where you are. In North America the answer is to through it away.
If you are somewhere that Labour is cheap it may be worth to rewind. This must be a union phone. It insists on capitalizing Labour.

RE: Rewinding Old Motor

Do the cost/benefit analysis. At that rating, it would be cheaper and better to get a new one since the old ones could have more hidden issues other than winding.
