When an electric motor fails, the user must decide whether
to replace or rewind their equipment - a decision that’s been the cause of much
debate over the years. According to the Electrical Engineering Portal, around
300,000 electric motors
are rewound in Britain each year, resulting in a 1-2 per cent loss of
efficiency on average.
Some users express concerns about the effect of rewinding on
their motor’s efficiency, but the fact is that it normally comes down to the
person carrying out the rewind. An experienced engineer will rewind a failed
motor to manufacturer specifications, using high-quality materials in order to
restore the machine as close as possible to its original efficiency.
Here at Gibbons we’ve been carrying out electric motor rewinds
for over 45 years, and our skilled engineers are experienced working with all
motor makes and sizes. Along with an emergency 24-hour call-out service, we can
offer free collection and delivery within a 50-mile radius of our Essex
workshop.
Once your motor has been inspected, we’ll offer an honest appraisal.
If it’s not economically viable to repair the motor, we’ll tell you and suggest
a suitable replacement. However, if we feel the most energy-efficient option is
a rewind, you’ll receive an accurate quote and estimated lead time to help you
make a decision.
If you’ve had an electric motor failure
and want to discuss your best option for getting running as soon as possible,
call us on 01621 868138 or email info@gibbonsgroup.co.uk.
