Abstract
This paper uses MotorMaster and Vaughen's Complete Price Guide to determine payback periods for different motor failure scenarios. Some scenarios considered are rewinds, reconditions, and replacement of bearings. Prices for these repairs are obtained from Vaughen's Complete Price Guide, and MotorMaster is used to compute the payback periods. The repair prices and the resulting payback periods are then compared to the prices and payback periods if new SE or EE motors were used.
