Are you struggling with training new technicians to take data and rewind DC armatures properly? This recording covers the critical skill gap in our industry for qualified DC armature technicians.

The seal failed and you replaced it. But it failed again and your seal supplier explained that the replacement seal you bought was a lower cost seal, and they have more expensive seals that might hold up better. So, you bought a more expensive seal, but it failed too. What went wrong?

El sello falló y usted lo reemplazó. Sin embargo, volvió a fallar y su proveedor le explicó que el repuesto que había comprado era barato y que disponían de sellos más caros que podrían ofrecer un mejor rendimiento. Así que compró un sello más costoso, pero también falló. ¿Qué salió mal?

Few things are less exciting in the motor world than a large synchronous motor that refuses to start—and all too often, the root cause is excitation. This article provides an overview of what synchronous motor excitation is, how it works, and the common issues you are likely to encounter.

Customers do not expect a salesperson to solve every technical issue on the spot, but they do expect a fast, informed response that demonstrates their problem is being taken seriously. EASA’s AI assistant, Eddy, can help close that information gap by quickly organizing technical questions, pointing to relevant EASA guidance, and helping the salesperson prepare a clearer response for the customer.

Pocas cosas resultan menos estimulantes en el mundo de los motores que un gran motor sincrónico que se niega a arrancar; y, con demasiada frecuencia, la causa raíz reside en la excitación. Este artículo ofrece un panorama general de qué es la excitación de un motor síncrono, cómo funciona y los problemas habituales que es probable que encuentre. 

This convention session presented findings from EASA’s 2026 Voice of the Customer research study. Drawing on responses from nearly 600 industrial end users, the study examined the challenges, priorities, maintenance practices, purchasing criteria, and service expectations influencing decisions related to electromechanical equipment repair and maintenance.

While air-to-air cooled machines (WPII or TEAAC) dominate the market, water-to-air cooling is typical for motors rated above 5,000 kW (6,700 hp) or where water is readily available, or with specific applications such as wind generators. Service centers encounter two configurations: external tube heat exchangers and integral water jacket heat exchangers.

While there are mechanical concerns to consider as well, this article covers only the drying of the winding. The techniques listed here broadly cover stator windings, armatures, field poles, wound rotors and rotor poles.
