How to rewind an electric motor from start to finish

Rewinding an electric motor is a detailed and complicated process. In this full-length 'how to' video we shadow the workshop manager, Kev, as he refurbishes an electric motor from start to finish.
Please note that this is NOT a comprehensive guide. Due to the vast amount of different motors and winding patterns, the rewinding process can vary greatly. However, it generally involves cutting the original windings out of the motor’s stator or armature and replacing them with new coils made from wire of the same basic type and gauge.
We will try to answer any relevant questions where possible.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Good video but those words disappear fast before we could read it

Best thing to do is to hit pause if the captions move too quickly

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.
