Progressive end users/motor own­ers these days have a greater apprecia­tion for and understanding of motor reliability.

However, many no longer accept the premise that a quality rebuild is accomplished because experienced, well trained technicians serviced a motor and applied static and/or run testing which resulted in a motor with improved reliability. Many end users have developed stringent motor re­pair specifications to which the motor rebuilder must comply. 

More frequently, end users are requiring that the service center pro­vide proof of compliance. This often equates to a series of qualifying tests that may include having the service provider perform a load test on the serviced motor. The load test can be the “acid test” which validates that the repair services rendered meets with the end user’s specifications and/or the original manufacturer’s design criteria. Some end users are exposed to non-compliant issues when their driven equipment is the “load test.”
