Motor replacement

[nickelec]

Good afternoon gentlemen Hope all are well. Just looked at a job to replace or rewind this motor. I guess that's why I'm here usually I deal with small motors and just replace them.

How would you guys go about this look for a company to rewind it or just get one that's the same size RPMs horsepower voltage etc Is it that simple?

Also if I need to replace can anybody recommend a vendor

Any advice from Anyone who has done this work would be great.

All I can contribute is that this one looks close to what you need. You'd have to verify the details.

I don't think I would be trying to get a motor as small as this rewound. Probably more cost effective to just buy a new one.

Was unaware there was a "cooling tower duty." What exactly constitutes a cooling tower? As in a scrubber system of sorts? Guess I'll Google it while I wait on some answers, too.

Looks like synchro provided a good link for replacement, although we definitely send some of our motors to be rewound as well. Might need to crunch some numbers real quick to see your best options and time frames as well.

OK, so they're rated for high humidity... so it's not quite hazardous areas or the like, but still good for a wet area?

What makes you think the motor needs rewound? It may not be a problem with the winding. It may be a bad bearing. It's a simple enough thing to order a new motor, just match the frame and rpm, but I would take it to a motor shop and let them look it over and if a replacement is needed I would let them order it.

40HP @ 208V is right on the cusp of the rewind cost being the same as the cost of new. Delivery might be a factor here.
