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.

Learn how to effectively use EASA's live, ever-expanding online database of more than 250,000 windings.

The insulation system chosen for any rewind should be suitable for the application, the voltage class, and the winding process capability of the service center. In most cases, adherence to “equal to or better than” selection is a good practice.

El sistema de aislamiento escogido para cualquier rebobinado debe ser el adecuado para la aplicación, el voltaje y la capacidad del proceso de rebobinado del centro de servicio. En la mayoría de los casos, seleccionar una opción "igual o mejor" es una buena práctica.

When preparing to rewind random or form-wound status, sometimes there just doesn’t seem to be enough room in the stator slot for the desired conductor area and insulation quantities. This presentation looks at balancing stator copper losses against insulation reliability.

This article uses examples to illustrate some of the pitfalls and subtle aspects regarding windings with unequal coil grouping.

Este artículo usa ejemplos para ilustrar algunas de las trampas y aspectos sutiles con respecto a los devanados con agrupamiento desigual de bobinas.

Most AC stator windings installed by EASA service centers are balanced, three-phase, two-layer, lap windings. But, what does it mean for such a winding to be balanced?

While manufacturers use concentric windings due to their ability to wind the coils directly into a core, many repairers convert them to lap windings to take advantage of the superior MMF (magneto-motive force) curve. Although the former Tech Note 12 (see page 2-187 of the EASA Technical Manual), and the AC Motor Verification and Redesign Program, Version 4 allow us to convert a concentric winding to a comparable lap winding, there are still some winders using “shortcuts” they have learned over the years.

Mientras los fabricantes usan devanados concéntricos por su capacidad para bobinarlos directamente dentro del núcleo, muchos reparadores los convierten en bobinados excéntricos para aprovechar su curva FMM (fuerza magnetomotriz) superior.
