Abstract :
In the past, the decision whether to repair or replace an electric motor has been one of economics. Replacement of an older electric motor with a more efficient model often makes sense for a motor operating continuously. However, in most cases, the decision is more complex. The purpose of this article is to explore both the choices and present some of the many options available. An application checklist, types and levels of repair for the motor are provided in this article.
