Re: OT-how to test and repair DC brushed motors.
|
I called Capitol Electric a couple of weeks ago. Talked to Mark. Said they didn't do DC motors anymore, and didn't know anyone in the area who still did. I guess the cheap import motors aren't worth working on...?
My boss at the laundry always bought new motors when one had problems. Was of some benefit to me as a lot of the ones that weren't absolutely fried followed me home so they wouldn't have to pay to have them hauled away. Only exception was the 60HP 3phase motor. They had that overhauled a bit in place, and then replaced it outright when it crapped out again six months or so later. That one had about half a ton of copper wire in it, and the seller of the replacement wanted it back. I'm not sure I could have gotten thing thing in the back of my pick up anyway. 800lb motor, it was.?

Bill, Just about any starter shop can growl them for you. As far as larger facilities go,? if Ron is still at Capitol Electric, tell him Jeff from Warfield and Chapman said hello.
