MOTOR REWINDER

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Motor Fault Diagnosis and Assessment

Conduct thorough inspections of AC/DC motors, alternators, and transformers to identify faults such as winding failures, insulation breakdowns, bearing issues, or mechanical damage.
Use diagnostic instruments like insulation testers (megohmmeters), multimeters, and motor testers to evaluate motor condition and performance.
Document findings and recommend appropriate rewinding or repair actions.

Motor Rewinding and Repair

Carefully disassemble motors, alternators, or transformers, ensuring no damage to parts.
Remove old winding coils and prepare stator or rotor cores for rewinding by cleaning and checking for any structural damage.
Measure and calculate the exact winding specifications such as number of turns, wire gauge, coil spacing, and connection points, following manufacturer specifications or engineering drawings.
Rewind motors by hand or using winding machines, ensuring precision in coil placement and tension to meet performance standards.
Insulate windings properly with varnishes, tapes, or other insulation materials to ensure durability and safety.
Reassemble the motor components correctly and test mechanical alignment and balance.

Testing and Quality Assurance

Perform electrical tests such as continuity, resistance, insulation resistance, surge comparison, and hipot testing to verify winding integrity and motor performance after rewinding.
Conduct mechanical tests such as vibration analysis and bearing checks to ensure smooth operation.
Troubleshoot any issues identified during testing and perform rework as necessary to meet quality standards.
Maintain detailed records of test results, repairs carried out, and materials used for traceability and reporting.

Maintenance and Preventative Work

Carry out routine preventative maintenance on motors and related equipment to reduce downtime and extend operational life.
Inspect and service components like bearings, brushes, and cooling fans to ensure optimal motor performance.
Advise maintenance teams on proper handling and operation of electrical motors to prevent premature failure.

Safety and Compliance

Follow all company safety policies and electrical safety regulations while performing rewinding and repair tasks.
Use personal protective equipment (PPE) and ensure the workshop environment is safe and hazard-free.
Handle hazardous materials such as insulating varnishes, solvents, and cleaning agents responsibly.
Participate in safety training sessions and contribute to continuous improvement of safety procedures.

Collaboration and Communication

Work closely with engineering, maintenance, and production teams to plan rewinding schedules and prioritize urgent repairs.
Provide technical advice and support to colleagues and clients regarding motor operation and maintenance best practices.
Communicate clearly any delays, challenges, or resource needs to supervisors.
Assist in training junior technicians or apprentices in motor rewinding techniques and safety practices.

KEY REQUIREMENT SKILLS AND QUALIFICATION

Diploma or Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical & Electronics Engineering, or related field
Minimum of 5 years proven experience in motor rewinding and repair
Strong understanding of the operation and maintenance of AC/DC motors, alternators, and transformers
Proficient in the use of testing instruments such as multimeters, megohmmeters, and other diagnostic tools
