01Brought in
The problem
The mill's main motor began running hot, then tripped and would not restart. The windings had a scorched smell and one phase read open.
02On the bench
What we found
A single-phasing event had overheated the stator winding. The rotor and shaft were fine; the bearings were worn and noisy.
03The work
What we did
Recorded the original winding data — turns, gauge and connection — before stripping
Burnt out and cleaned the stator slots, fitted new slot insulation
Rewound in fresh copper to the recorded data and varnished the stator
Replaced both bearings and checked the rotor for rub
Ran it on load on the test bench and measured current on all three phases
04Outcome
The result
The motor was back on the shaft before the harvest peak and now runs noticeably cooler. We also suggested a phase-failure relay for the panel.
