This article looks at the installation and removal of quick detachable (QD) and taper lock pulleys.

Pumps, compressors, fans and other types of mechanical movement are crucial to our industrial activities. Consequently, the health of these motors directly influences the operational reliability and longevity of the broader industrial ecosystem. Acknowledging this underscores the necessity for performing online health assessments of electric motors.

This presentation focusses on critical close fit tolerances and certain surface finish specifications.

There is one industry that has been quietly recycling since before the start of the previous century. That’s right – over 100 years of recycling. What industry is that? It’s our industry – electrical equipment repair.

The Electrical Apparatus Service Association (EASA) stands as the ultimate team, empowering its members with extraordinary abilities. Through shared best practices, high standards and mutual support, EASA’s international community transforms its members into industry superheroes, ready to tackle any challenge.

When a core loss test reveals localized hot spots, or visual inspection identifies physical damage, the ability to repair the damage in a cost-effective manner means the difference between repair or replacement.

EASA will soon be releasing a new Motor Stats feature for both the AC Motor Verification & Redesign and Motor Rewind Data software to assist with determining if the data is reasonable for the machine’s nameplate ratings and core size.

When handling motors, lifting devices are often needed, whether they be cranes, forklifts or otherwise. Given the risks inherent to lifting, EASA members must exercise caution and ensure our teams are well versed in proper rigging techniques.

This presentation provides a high-level overview of the program and is intended for anyone wanting to learn more about the ERT program.
