Abstract
Motor testing at Advanced Energy has shown that a motor that has not suffered irreparable damage as a result of failure can be repaired to perform as well as before the failure. But the only way to achieve the performance level of an energy-efficient motor is to invest in the new designs and materials in these motors. Once that investment is made, it is economically appropriate to repair the energy-efficient motor at failure, provided the failure has not caused irreparable damage and the repair is done properly. But how can an industrial customer know that the motor has been repaired properly?
