Motor Windings

[tonyelectric]

Hi everyone

Your opinions on a suitable method please.

I have just finished repairing the stator of a machine motor, the tails were VIR and had reduced to dust so I fished them back into the windings, soldered new fibreglass coated tails on, then put heatshrink and bakelized paper tubes as per the original layout, megger'd it infinity at 500V, now I just need to re glaze the areas where I pulled off the glazing question is what to use - my thoughts were

Shellac laquer or the potting compound as used in an underground SWA joiner.

any thoughts?

best Tony

Don't use compound, Tony. The traditional method for re-leading and coating windings is two coats of 'Golden Varnish' (made by Sterling Varnishes). This is suitable for all classes of temperature up to 'Class H' duty.
