Hello, machinefolk,
One of my friends has a bit of a problem, and I thought I'd ask here to try to help him out.
He's rebuilding a small machine, of 1940's vintage, on which the motor is wound for 440V only, 3 phase,
of course. It is a a little one, 3/4 hp., and appears to be generally the common or garden variety GE product of its time, except that the stator housing is a special for that particular machine.
Using a transformer to run it on 440 is not a realistic option, as the insulation in the windings looks a bit cracked and perished.
Our local electric motor electric shop, which did rewinding on small motors like this one, shut down a few years ago, when the owner retired. The remaining motor shops in this area say they do large motors only, and so won't rewind this little one.
Does anyone here know of a reliable motor shop.......(anywhere in conus, that stator would be cheap to ship UPS)..... that would take on the job of rewinding a 3/4 hp. motor, and make a proper job of it?
cheers
Carla
