How do I know if my motor needs rewinding?

Signs motor needs rewinding: Insulation resistance below 1MΩ, burnt smell, visible winding damage, motor trips repeatedly, unbalanced phase currents (>5% difference), humming but not starting. A megger test confirms winding condition.

How much does motor rewinding cost in Kenya?

Motor rewinding costs in Kenya: Small (0.5-2HP): KES 8,000-20,000. Medium (3-10HP): KES 25,000-60,000. Large (15-50HP): KES 80,000-200,000. Very large (75HP+): KES 250,000+. Price depends on motor size, damage extent, and urgency.

How long does motor rewinding take?

Motor rewinding timeline: Small motors: 2-3 days. Medium motors: 3-5 days. Large motors: 5-10 days. Emergency service available at premium. Time includes testing, stripping, winding, VPI/dipping, baking, and final testing.

Can any motor be used with a VFD?

Standard motors can run on VFDs but with considerations: Use inverter-duty motor for best results, install shaft grounding ring for bearing protection, keep cable length under 15m or use output filter, derate motor at low speeds for cooling.

What causes motor bearing failure?

Bearing failure causes: Over-greasing (most common), under-greasing, misalignment, overloading, bearing currents from VFDs, contamination, improper installation. Prevent with correct greasing schedule and proper alignment.
