How to rewind an electric motor from start to finish

[@richardleesparks6694]

I fell into this rabbit hole while researching generators, but really appreciate the video and explanations. I’ve always wished I would’ve been exposed to this type of work and am grateful you took the time to make this video. Cheers from the U.S.

[@GibbonsGroup]

Thank you! We're always trying to improve our explanation videos and are pleased that they get viewed all the way in the USA. Hope you found it informative.

[@jinty47445]

I did the same job 50 yrs ago, fractional hp to 250 hp motors and armatures and as far as I can see little as changed. I found it a very rewarding job. The skill and knowledge learned was invaluable in jobs held in my working career, refridgeration, maintenance technician ect. Now retired i really miss it.

[@ssnoc]

This was the best explained and detailed video on how to rewire a motor - Nice Job 👍

[@GibbonsGroup]

Thanks. We tried to give a good example but it's difficult because every motor is different.

[@rayrodgers5987]

Job well done. Current motor winder here.

[@GibbonsGroup]

Thanks for the comment and kind words!

[@tonycater40]

I started as an apprentice armature winder in 1961 in Torquay. Nothing has changed much except we use to listen to the Beatles on the radio.😂 Thanks for the video.

[@GibbonsGroup]

Thanks for the comment, Tony! Always great to hear from fellow winders past and present. Our guys will often have BBC Radio 2 on in the background so you get the odd Beatles tune from time to time.

[@philsa9402]

I spent years in a electric motor repair shop back in the early 1990s......loved it 😊brought back many happy memories

[@GibbonsGroup]

Thanks for the comment! We love hearing from engineers from the past and present

[@DavidWatkin-d6r]

Great job. well done with the explanation of the steps.

Thank you!

Great job, I would love to learn more from you.

[@willhansen5321]

Great skill & craftsmanship. Thanks, I enjoyed watching.

[@christopherphillipson3083]

Thanks this was very informative. The engineer is obviously very experienced. Details on the winding connections would be good though.

[@GibbonsGroup]

Thanks for the feedback. We'll make sure we include more info next time

[@rogelioescobar7811]

And how are professionals made? By learning, by practicing, by repetition. All professionals started from zero.

[@abdulaijorgorbarrie2278]

Sure 👍🏼

[@ovalwingnut]

Very COoL! I thought that the words "hammer, chisel, pliers and carefully" couldn't be used in the same sentence. I was wrong p.s. That's one beefy coil-winder! Better suited for rebar :)

[@GoldenKamwendo-ib6si]

This is amazing. I like this skill ❤❤❤❤❤

[@emotorsdirect]

Great video 👍

[@GibbonsGroup]

Thanks!

Very nice sir

[@rigwald5135]

what to do if motor being hot after 5 min ? increse amount of turn's gonna help ?

[@invisibilitycriterion6782]

Kev made that look easy didn’t he? Especially working in that racket. Interesting winding sequence: six coils ascending in turns of twenty-seven?

[@GibbonsGroup]

Yeah he has been doing this for over 35 years so he works at a good pace. It certainly gets noisy down there at times but that's the environment they enjoy working in.

[@davidhollfelder9940]

I keep some mag wire in stock, as it has many uses .. I’m amazed at how tough/durable the very thin epoxy/varnish insulation coating is. As seen, keep secure from vibratetion/chafing.

[@shefeeq5826]

Good skill ❤

[@math1412]

Thx Boss , but how to connect each coil in the same group , also how to connect the thermistor ?? Thx alot

other than not seeing how the rest of the old copper came out and odd way to varnish it and not sand blasting or Pulse Laser the parts and painting over old paint and the varnish but upside new bearings and the rotor looked cleaned 👍and it seems to run nice so um nice job 😎😎

[@octymocty132]

So what is the paper bog standart or summat specail. Its one thing as a maintenace engineer id love to to do pr at leaste try

[@bt7482]

I have a cut off saw thats about 30 years old and today it decided to start transmitting 120V through its chassis! Luckily no one was hurt but if I removed the internal ground(earth) the voltage drops to 50V ish. The switch connections look great not sure what has happened.

[@backi480]

Fine Work.. exept for the Varnish Thing That the Outside gets his coating is not preventable OK but why is the coating not removed before painting ?? The Motor Housing is for Cooling .. is an extra Layer of Varnish not counterproductive ?

[@dancosmin4598]

my point exactly,not preping the motor/pump properly for painting was just lazy

[@asf130thecompany7]

What was the pump used for and how big of amount of stuff it could deliver?

[@AryanIndustrial]

Job well done 👍✅

I’d work for this company for free for a week if they show me how to build a motor! 🙏

[@MrJasonworkman]

Please explain how you are connecting all those wires, y or delta?

[@Acknofyar]

Looks like the yellow wire circuit is in a delta pattern and red wire signifies the beginning phase

[@ShewayeBorshe]

hi ai am riwayndr from ethiopia

[@ryancraig4015]

Why would you put the thermistors in after the winding is varnished? There supposed to go between the coil groups normally 1 per phase… in 3 adjacent groups, and tied into the winding prior to varnish… the same way any kind of thermal overload should be… that’s the way I was taught and I’ve now been winding for 13 years…

Red hot soldering .. what find of solder needs to get red hot?

[@fazolenaostro7818]

I am not a expert, but could it be a silver solder?

[@Duracellmumus]

The cooper wire has a heat resistant insulation, have to burn that down completly before mainten the connection with the solder.

[@fazolenaostro7818]

@@Duracellmumus That makes sense, thank you.

[@IMReader]

If you're rewinding a motor, doesn't it go from finish to start?

Can you please specify the number of poles🙏

[@ArmanSheikh-qz1ip]

6 pole

[@florh]

why do you use a primitive way to determine the size of the new coils, why don't you just use a multimeter and measure the resistance of one of the coils and measure the gauge of the wire? Isn't that more accurate to try and match the previous specifications of the new motor?

[@GibbonsGroup]

Good question, I guess old habits die hard. He's been doing this for a while so I imagine he's happy doing it his way. It works for our customers anyway.

[@louisblair7753]

what exactly you wana know, 1) extracting hnowlege what was in motor 2) making possibly the same 3) checking it will be fine to use or it will newer be good

[@peterlogan1623]

it would be so much better if you sandblasted them before rebuild

[@mikewatts7728]

Still using the wrong size lugs

[@largerPOTATO]

They are repairing something to factory condition, not customizing it. Pumps like that will run for years or decades even with those supposedly wrong sized lugs.

[@mikewatts7728]

@@largerPOTATO using the correct size lugs would be to factory condition in your words. Also I think I might have a better understanding of what they do as I worked there for 4 years.

turn off that annoying radio when making a videos. also what is the real time to rebuild? thumbs up and comment dispite that radio

[@GibbonsGroup]

If you had ANY idea what our workshop engineers are like, then you'd understand why we can't go near their radio. We kept the audio as it is to capture the true feeling of a working rewinds workshop. We'd suggest muting the video for maximum pleasure.

[@GibbonsGroup]

depending on the size of the motor, it usually takes a full working day to fully rewind a motor like this.
