Abstract :
When an electric machine has an insulation failure in service a decision must be made to rewind or replace it. In addition, depending on the age of the machine, the possibility of uprating the insulation system can be made along with the rewind. This paper will review the areas that need to be addressed in the process of making these assessments.
