The most common cause of motor burnout is due to insulation breakdown, which is often due to age or moisture. The process of rewinding an electric motor involves the stripping and replacement of coils and insulation.

AEM can rewind AC & DC motors, armatures, coils, transformers, alternators and generators – anything from fractional kilowatt to industrial 1 Megawatt motors and above.

EASA have conducted studies that show that if the correct procedures are followed when rewinding a motor, it will retain its original efficiencies, and in some cases it will improve its efficiency. AEM follows EASA reccommended practices for rewind and repair of rotating machinery.

A complete overhaul of the machine is performed as part of the rewind process.

Frequently Asked Questions About VPI Rewind Adelaide SA

What Is a VPI Rewind?

A VPI rewind is an electric motor rewind process that incorporates Vacuum Pressure Impregnation to deliver superior insulation performance. During a VPI rewind in Adelaide SA, the rewound stator or rotor is placed inside a sealed chamber where vacuum and pressure cycles force solvent-free resin deep into every void and crevice of the winding insulation. Once cured, the windings form a solid, uniform mass that resists moisture, vibration, heat, and chemical contaminants. AEM Consolidated Pty Ltd provides this service from their workshop in Gepps Cross, SA, combining this advanced process with EASA-certified quality standards. The key benefits a VPI rewind may deliver include:

Improved electrical insulation by eliminating air gaps and reducing partial discharge risk.
Enhanced mechanical strength, as the cured resin bonds and stabilises coil components against vibration.
Superior moisture and contaminant resistance, helping windings withstand harsh industrial environments.
Better thermal performance, allowing impregnated windings to dissipate heat more effectively under load.
Longer motor service life with reduced maintenance requirements over time.

 

How Long Does a VPI Rewind Take?

Turnaround for a VPI rewind in Adelaide SA will typically vary depending on the motor size, voltage class, and scope of repairs required. The VPI cycle itself may involve extended vacuum and pressure stages, followed by a curing phase in a temperature-controlled oven, which can add several hours to the overall process. AEM’s workshop team aims to minimise downtime by assessing each job individually and providing a realistic completion estimate upfront.
