When repairing centrifugal and axial flow pumps, axial thrust is a concern. An understanding of the causes and the mitigating provisions of various pump designs will help repair technicians to ensure those provisions work properly.
Article
Unlike their AC counterparts, DC machines do not have rotating magnetic fields. Rather, there are fixed magnetic field axes for the field (direct axis) and armature (quadrature axis). Even though the armature is rotating, the magnetic field axis in the armature is fixed thanks to commutation, which allows the direction of current in an armature conductor to change as it passes from the region under one main field pole to the next.
Article
A diferencia de sus homólogos de CA, las máquinas de CC no tienen campos magnéticos rotativos. Más bien, existen ejes de campo magnético fijos para el campo (eje directo) y la armadura (eje en cuadratura). Aunque la armadura esté girando, el eje del campo magnético de la armadura está fijo gracias a la conmutación, lo que permite que la dirección de la corriente en un conductor de la armadura cambie a medida que pasa debajo de un polo de campo principal al siguiente.

This article looks at some of the import details for a proper concentric to lap winding conversion. It also shows how using the EASA Technical Manual, EASA's AC Motor Verification & Redesign Software, as well as the EASA AC Redesign manual, can help.
Article
Este artículo analiza algunos de los detalles de importación para una conversión adecuada de devanado concéntrico a devanado por vuelta. También muestra cómo puede ayudar el uso del Manual técnico de EASA, el software de rediseño y verificación de motores de CA de EASA, así como el manual de Rediseño de motores AC de EASA.

Occasions arise where original winding data is not available. It may have been recorded incorrectly or a different service center may have stripped the core but not completed the repair. In those cases, the service center must come up with a new “bare core” winding design. EASA's redesign software has some specific features to address this need.
Article
Most EASA service centers encounter very few axial-flux machines. They are rare enough that it is worthwhile to describe what they are and how they differ from the typical radial-flux industrial motor or generator.
Article
La mayoría de los centros de servicio de EASA encuentran muy pocas máquinas de flujo axial. Son tan raras, que vale la pena describir qué son y como se diferencian del típico motor o generador industrial de flujo radial.
Article
La mayoría de los bobinados de los estatores de CA instalados por los centros de servicio de EASA son imbricados de doble capa, trifásicos y están balanceados. Pero ¿qué significa que estén balanceados?
Article
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?

Revised September 2022!
EASA's most comprehensive technical document is available FREE to EASA members. Download the complete manual or just the sections you're interested in.
Basada en los Estudios de Rebobinado de motores de eficiencia premium, energético eficientes, IE2 (antigua EF1) e IE3 realizados en 2019 y en el 2003
Booklet
Dirigida principalmente al personal del centro de servicio, la guía, que ahora es un documento independiente y no forma parte del informe completo del estudio de rebobinado de EASA/AEMT, describe los métodos de reparación de buenas prácticas utilizados para lograr los resultados proporcionados en ambos estudios. Contiene consejos de reparación, terminología relevante del motor e información sobre fuentes de pérdidas en motores de inducción que afectan la eficiencia.
How to ensure the correct duty rating for each application
Trade press article — Electrical Construction & Maintenance
Before putting an AC machine into service, make sure its duty rating matches the application requirements. Otherwise, there’s a good chance excessive heat will degrade the machine’s windings.
Article
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.
Article
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.

Although unbalanced magnetic pull can affect other rotating electric machines such as DC motors and generators and single-phase motors and generators, our focus in this article will be on three-phase squirrel cage induction motors. The two main topics are unbalanced magnetic pull (UMP) and rotor pullover.
Article
Aunque la tracción magnética desbalanceada puede afectar a otras máquinas eléctricas rotativas, como los motores y generadores de CC y monofásicos, nuestro enfoque en este artículo se centrará en los motores jaula de ardilla trifásicos. Los dos temas principales son: La tracción magnética desequilibrada (UMP) y el descentrado del rotor (pullover).

This PowerPoint presentation is available for members to use to present the factors that should be considered when customers are faced with making the difficult decision to repair their existing motor or purchase a replacement.
Article
Service centers are often called on to provide replacement pumps or pump motors or to advise on pump retrofit and re-application projects. A good understanding of the parameters that govern pump performance is essential to help customers with these opportunities. The information here relates to rotodynamic pumps (centrifugal and axial flow impellers) and not to positive displacement pumps.

En este webinario explicaremos como los diferentes cambios efectuados en el bobinado impactan en el desempeño del motor. Si no es realizado de forma correcta, cualquier cambio en el bobinado podría llegar a tener consecuencias negativas.
Article
When an AC motor is initially energized at rated voltage (and frequency), the current drawn is many times rated current until the motor attains full operating speed. Consequences of starting current include short time overheating of stator windings and rotors, undesirable operation of overload protective devices and a sag in the supply voltage.
Article
Cuando se energiza inicialmente un motor de CA a su voltaje nominal (y frecuencia), el motor toma varias veces la corriente nominal hasta que alcanza toda la velocidad de operación. Las consecuencias de la corriente de arranque incluyen: Breve sobrecalentamiento de los bobinados del estator y del rotor, disparos no deseados de los dispositivos de protección y caídas de voltaje en el suministro eléctrico.
Based on the 2019 and 2003 Rewind Studies of premium efficiency, energy efficient, IE2 (formerly EF1) and IE3 motors
Booklet
Intended primarily for service center personnel, the guide which is now an independent document and not part of the complete EASA/AEMT rewind study report, outlines the good practice repair methods used to achieve the results given in both studies. It contains repair tips, relevant motor terminology, and information about sources of losses in induction motors that affect efficiency.
