Motor rewinding guideline

This guideline highlights the best practices of motor rewinding and the drawbacks of the bad rewinding practices, focusing on what occurs at the Egyptian market context. It focuses on the three-phase induction  motors, the most commonly and widely used in the industrial sector. The guideline is not a replacement of any national or international standards, such as IEEE Standard 1068. On the contrary, it builds on their technical data and highlights the importance of refereeing to the standards for the acceptance values and detailed procedures of teste, for instance. 


The guideline is based on best practices for motor repair/rewinding, presented in the Electrical Apparatus Service Association (EASA) guidelines and IEEE Standard 1068™-2015, “IEEE Standard for the Repair and Rewinding of AC Electric Motors in the Petroleum, Chemical and Process Industries”.
