Greetings from The Netherlands. At the age of 13 (1966) my neighbor asked me if I was interested to do some work during the summer holidays. I had trouble at my previous school and was interested in electrotechnical stuff. He was rewinding electro motors. I started taking ball bearings of broken down electro motors. Legally I was not allowed to work at that age, but I did very well and learned a lot about these things. After that summer holidays I went to a technical school and learned other things. Next year I went back to the electro company and learned a lot more. The year after the 3rd summer vacation in that company it entered the electrotechnical classroom in that school and recognized all the types of electro motors. I started talking about it to my new electro teacher ;-) . He made a remark that it was special I recognized those different motors. I told him I could even explain to him how they worked and even how the windings were calculated and replaced. I saw him getting white around his nose... What am I going to do with you? You know more at this moment than I will ever teach your classmates in the next two years! I became a measurement- and control engineer. You brought back lots of memories. Thanks
Hello, I'm living in France and I'm 23 years old. I'm an electrical engineering student and now I'm doing me thesis about electric machine. But I do struggle to understand practical model of them, there are much different types. I really respect for your experience
Too much resistance due to excessive wirings... You need an electrical engineer to help you with the math stuff, to help you with torque:Resistance vs number of wire stuff @@annitmul1614
I remember tagging along with my grandfather who was an electrician when we would casually just drop of a few 1/2 -3/4 HP motors for an overhaul and refurbishing. I had no idea about the work until I saw this video! Great job and skill!
Watching this video brings back so many memories of working with my dad in his motor shop. He started in 1935 at the Brooklyn navy yard and spent the rest of his life winding motors. I worked with him from 1960 to 1982 when we sold the business. I moved onto other things but while the equipment has changed the work is the same. Thanks for bringing back all those memories.
Back in High School (early 70s), I was in a motor repair shop class .. people would donate small motors (fan/shaded pole, 1/4 or 1/2 single phase induction motors, etc), to repair/return or repair/keep. We were taught how to measure and count the wires, and make a “skein” winding former. We’d wind the coils by hand, counting the turns. Sometimes, it was only the starting winding and centrifugal switch needing replacement .. sometimes bearings too. We even converted a couple 25 Hz motors to 60 Hz by increasing the AWG, and reducing the turns (via formula). I’ve repaired some motors since .. it was a very memorable shop experience .. seems just like yesterday. Thx for sharing.
This video has helped me understand why when i tell my customer his replacement motor is going to cost $7300... These are completely hand built and tested by experts using expensive materials... Thanks guys for keeping our industrial world humming...!! ⚡️⚡️💪
@@MrMaxyield you're probably correct about the cost. Seemed like 125hp vertical sells for $14k new online... This shop had a lot of people working on rewinding this motor if they're only charging lets say $7k .
Brings back memories of my days in the navy. interesting to see what has changed and what has not changed in 50 years. My ship was deployed as flagship for 6th fleet and we were all alone. No facilities for support and no tender, so the ship's electricians were always rewinding motors. As I recall the largest was a fire-pump motor, 400hp. Those guys were great.
Thank you for sharing the rewind. As a kid I was always fascinated with motors and how to rewind them. There were some books I learned from and as a hobby would get these motors that were smoked and rewind them. From what I have learned by reading, was able to take the bare stators and calculate the turns and CM to fill the slots. To calculate the CM, I'd just fill the slot with a hank of say 17ga wire and had the volumn. I could wind 3 phase motors to single phase and had to start from scratch. I used 5 coils per pole in a four pole 36 slot stator. The coil pattern I copied from a Westinghouse motor, span slots 1and 7. The poles would overlap on the outside coil. I think this was to help reduce harmonics ? ? Well, That was many years ago and don't remember how to do that math anymore. Now I have a new, ! ! ! well getting older hobby that bacically doing nothing (retired) as very soon will hit 78 years. Your well done video brings back memories and I'm impressed with the task you have done. To me that is beautiful the way you done up the inside that motor. Too bad it has to be covered up but, yes the protection . I do appreciate the old open motors which you could see the formed coils. Take care ........... Gary
Gary that is one heck of a story and I would like to thank you for sharing and your kind words. We are very pleased you enjoyed the video and hope that we can keep providing content you find interesting. Feel free to subscribe to our channel so you get notified when we come out with a new video. We have a couple new videos that are in process of being edited and will be published soon. Thanks again Gary!
Very few times when I have the opportunity of see a video so well explained an detailed. My sincere admiration and respect to this guy. If you compare to chinese or pakistani process, a world of difference. Greets from Venezuela. Keep up the good work.
I was a winder for 20 yrs in Youngstown Ohio. retired from that profession due to carpel tunnel.. I only used that kind of manual winding machine for small coils or very odd custom ones. we had a German cnc machine that made very precise coils that made it easier to install and also allowed you to wind as the machine was producing. stay fresh my friends!
Thanks for the tutorial on motor rewinding. I always wanted to see how it was done. I must say that I'm amazed by the way you applied your skills and abilities to get the job done. Absolutely amazing. Thanks guys
My dad did this and i was lucky enough to work with him for a short time. I struggled learning the connections, but all the winders would work with me. Spring was always job security with the storms. It never failed, an OT rush job would come through about 4:15.pm on Fridays. Nobody would be able to take it, so dad and i would. Always seemed to be a form coil job. Loved doing those, but hated the fiberglass tape at first 😂. A big part of me wishes i would've stayed with it. Heck if i had the tools, ovens, coil machine, dip tank, etc i would do it again. Thank you for sharing this.
I hear stories from my Paa that back in 1980s he used to rewind and repair 125, 150, 200, 500 hp motors with bare hands. It's amazing to see these giants.
It really is nice to see your videos. I was a motor winder in high school for a couple of years and absolutely loved that work. We rewound motors from 5hp to 500 hp., 1800rpm to 3600rpm, irrigation pump motors to power generation fan motors. [edit] After looking your company up, I worked at Bakersfield Electric Motor Repair in Bakersfield CA. Now retired, working a BEMR was the most honest, satisfying, rewarding work.
Good video that brings back memories of a good bunch of guys to work with years ago. You guys need to get into the habit of using the protective guides when inserting the wire into every slot, not just some. Don’t want that wire damaged 😂👍
Excellent job, Thanks for making such a detailed video of the rewinding. A lot of work but needed when a not of the shelf available motor needs to be made ready for service. This is a special skill which is slowly disappearing in our current throw away society.
UK Electrical engineer here, this should be shown to all apprentice sparks out there, it is really great resource presented in a very good way. I've sat in a motor rewind shop watching a pals Dad at work. These are a huge leap from the tiny little hand wound tx's I made that were soldered onto the handmade pcb's of hand held flow meters I used to manufacture , start to finish at a small factory in Southport UK back in the 80's. Proper enjoyed this, big thanks.
My experience with electric motors was replacing ones that failed and smelled really bad and in later years scrapping them for the copper . Dirty jobs either way . I've always wondered how the motors were built or rebuilt . Great video , thanks for sharing .
Great video, I worked in the power industry for 40 years and have never seen an induction motor rewinding process carried out. Lengthy time consuming process meticulously carried out stage by stage. Our biggest motor was 11Kva🔌🔌
As a 15 year old apprentice in Sydney Australia I wound the coils for motors to convert 240 volt to 110 for the computers IBM and for hotels .This was in 1965. Is put a tap in each coil so that they could be adjusted for voltage fluctuations.This was before any switch gear became digitised.
Great video. I rewound every type of AC and some dc motors during my work years . Shop never had vacuum tank but we used same materials and methods. Thanks for this video- brings back lots memories.
I worked for a pump company that used Herold & Meilenz to rebuild/rewind our large motors. Their work always looked good, but I’ve never seen it done. Very cool!
In my younger days I worked in a technical college where motor winding was taught. (These days for small motors its cheaper to buy a new one.) Not as big as this beauty but small basic motors. Who would have thought your video could be so interesting, just winding a motor. But I have been spoilt, videos of Indian guys rewinding motors on the roadside, yours is basically the same but not done on the dirt outside, yours is a much cleaner environment, same principle though. But I digress, a very interesting video my friends, fascinating really, great to watch professionals at work. Well done.
Im a retired industrial electrician from a large integrated steel mill. we have our own rewind shop. the threshold of wither to scrap or rewind goes up .Use to be 25 HP and now I think its 40 or 50HP AC. But depends also if its a special frame or other factors. Also all DC motors got rewound regardless of HP
When a job is done as you can see in the video,... there are no words that can be used to congratulate or highlight the level with which it was done... No words...👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I have worked as an industrial electrician for over 40 years and that motor winding has completely lost me 🤷♂️. Looks a very complicated setup I have no idea how you work it out great work
We do some early hi-pots on the windings, before the final wrapping, at lower voltages. That way the bad winding can be repaired. Saved several high cost motors for oil industry.
Very interesting vid. Thank you. It looks very labour intensive! I suppose repair is still cheaper than a new motor especially if a new motor is unavailable or obsolete.
When you think about it, the Honda Fit Hybrid motor is rated at about 30hp but it delivers 118 lb/ft of torque, which is about the same this motor makes at 725 rpm. Only the hybrid motor weighs maybe 30lbs and this weighs the better part of 1000lbs. Progress is real
This is really cool! I worked around some larger-ish motors on corrugate press machines years ago. I doubt any of them were more than 100hp though. And I know none of them were drawing more than 480AC. It's so interesting to see the craftsmanship and knowledge that goes into these these things that are very lives depend on every second of every day.
Very interesting video, especially in the first part, thank you very much. If you can trust the vacuum gauge, it is a rough vacuum. Is that enough to remove the bubbles? What is the vapor pressure (20°C) of the polyurethane paint?
I have no idea what's happening in this video. I'm ignorant as shit as to what's going on in this. However, I do enjoy watching nerds craft things with love & knowledge making something incredible. And this is awesome. I do play music, and when this thing levels out around 34:52 & that "wobble" sounds like it go straight into tune. so fucking satisfying. good job boys! I dont know what this motor runs but I bet this handles it with ease!
Very satisfying video. At 23:00, if you find a short, do you have to rewind the whole thing, or is some other fix possible? At 33:26, was the rotor installed just prior? Is any special alignment check needed after installation of the rotor? Thanks.
I never realized the copper wires in a coil are coated and insulated from each other! Is this the same in all electric motors? Like is this done for the copper wires that make up the coils in small DC motors too, or is it only necessary for larger ones?
I’m no expert, but yes they all will be. It’s called enamelled wire, at least here in the UK. It’s a thin coating that insulates the wires. Handy for doing PCB repairs, and other things, as the enamel can easily be scraped away.
it was blowing my mind you could do that so easily but i suppose you have already done it a few thousand times. Even so you need to be able to have some committment and believe you can do such a complex task to completion.
Nice job Guys, I am on HVAC-R business and dealing with motors all the time , only thing I didn't see is evacuation for feeding varnish material and get rid of the air bubbles , and baking procedure. are those common practice for all motors or there are specific motors needs such procedure? Are these procedures for high HP motors or for smaller motors such as 15-30HP shall be applied ?
I have atech question of a 25hp 3phase motor. I have a difference of opinion of bearings should be open on outer side vs leaving them sealed as they come from factory. I want to remove 1 outer cover of the sealed bearings so the grease gets in. What is your opinion?
Good and wonderful work. Is the method of winding this motor in series? I want to know the division. Is this the same small 3-phase motor or is there a difference?

That is so cool! They certainly seem to take pride in their work.
This is such an in depth and detailed process to wind one of these motors. No wonder the industrial ones get so expensive.

@xephael3485 the $7300 was arbitrary, and not indicative of this particular motor. Yes I agree this motor would be much more expensive...

Winding motors is like knitting for men. 🤣
The work that goes into it is very impressive.

I made motors like this. It's still as primitives as I thought it was back then. The one thing that I don't miss about it is the sticky shoes.
I have been a motor rewinder for 17 years it’s a skill I’m glad I learned I rewind motors from 3/4 to 500 hp
sir please tell me what I must know to rewind
This is so impressive. These giant motors are so complex and require lots of skills to wind. Good job!! And what is this massive motor used for??
@Alley00Cat…could be for an elevator.
This is awesome. I love humanity's ingenuity
It’s God’s ingenuity, not humans. Man comes up with nothing original. It’s his design Not ours.
I have worked as an industrial electrician for over 40 years and that motor winding has completely lost me 🤷♂️. Looks a very complicated setup I have no idea how you work it out great work
If i am not mistaken, that is the winding for the motor that runs Chuck Norris' back massager.
This work is very amazing, the performance is wonderful with the quality of the work is very very excellent, you are wonderful and thank you

Man you guys did an excellent job on this video! The most informative ideo I've seen yet. Thanks for the video guys...
Thank you so much!
Stellar video. Thank you for the great narrative too.
Can you tell me what this type of motor gets used for?
I just learned a bunch of things; I thank you for it!
We do some early hi-pots on the windings, before the final wrapping, at lower voltages. That way the bad winding can be repaired. Saved several high cost motors for oil industry.
As a machinist I thank you!
Thank you for watching!
All I remember from my 1960s electric shop class about motors is wave and lap windings. And have they retired FISH PAPER for the stator slots?

Awesome, great detailed video thanks for sharing.

Very satisfying video. At 23:00, if you find a short, do you have to rewind the whole thing, or is some other fix possible? At 33:26, was the rotor installed just prior? Is any special alignment check needed after installation of the rotor? Thanks.
Question: If there are 108 slots and the wire goes in every 1,10, wouldn't there be 2 slots missing wire ? What did I miss ?
Nice Job Guys... Cheers from NJ
Undoubtedly, but, definitely, the Master Craftsman proved, beyond any doubt, that always, “The Form Follows The Function “ .
She's a smooth running motor, sweet.
I never realized the copper wires in a coil are coated and insulated from each other! Is this the same in all electric motors? Like is this done for the copper wires that make up the coils in small DC motors too, or is it only necessary for larger ones?
I’m no expert, but yes they all will be. It’s called enamelled wire, at least here in the UK. It’s a thin coating that insulates the wires. Handy for doing PCB repairs, and other things, as the enamel can easily be scraped away.
@@lawrencemanning Wow thanks! I guess that makes sense!
Impressive ❤
Much love from 🇰🇪
So how much does it cost to rebuild this motor compared to the price of a new one?
Congratulations, excellent work!!!
I enjoyed your video and learned a lot. What happens if the coils are not tied down and varnished?
That's a piece of art!!!
Thank you!
Amazing video - thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching
Amazing work... is that made from solid block cast aluminum???
it was blowing my mind you could do that so easily but i suppose you have already done it a few thousand times. Even so you need to be able to have some committment and believe you can do such a complex task to completion.
Nice job Guys, I am on HVAC-R business and dealing with motors all the time , only thing I didn't see is evacuation for feeding varnish material and get rid of the air bubbles , and baking procedure. are those common practice for all motors or there are specific motors needs such procedure? Are these procedures for high HP motors or for smaller motors such as 15-30HP shall be applied ?
I have atech question of a 25hp 3phase motor. I have a difference of opinion of bearings should be open on outer side vs leaving them sealed as they come from factory. I want to remove 1 outer cover of the sealed bearings so the grease gets in.
What is your opinion?
What a nice and neat job.
Thank you!
Good and wonderful work. Is the method of winding this motor in series? I want to know the division. Is this the same small 3-phase motor or is there a difference?
I also worked for Robbins & Myers pressing stators into the rotors. All at 19 years old.
Great Job thanks for sharing. What voltage did you apply for the spin test? Ac or Dc?
Wow that's a Torgue Monster Curious as to what equipment it was Running Betting it is Something Old School. That has Lasted a Long time...
