Frequently Asked Questions
Motors |
| Q. When Hill's rewinds an electric motor does the motor's efficiency change? |
| A. Hill's utilizes modern temperature controlled ovens for both burn off and baking of electric motors. In addition, we utilize "core loss" testing to further confirm that a rewound motor will meet factory specifications after a repair is completed. Reporting is available as needed. |
 |
| Q. Does Hill's test run repaired motors? |
| A. Yes, we test run every repaired motor, check "no load" amps and lubricate as needed. If your motor operates on a VFD, let us know and we will also run the motor on one of our VFD test sets to insure trouble free operation when your motor returns from a completed quality repair. |
