[PSUBS-MAILIST] motor rewinding

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

 Alan,I have decided to find new motors to put inside my housings.  The magnets are probably weak from age also.  Not a big deal, I just reorganized my motors and voltage and will be operational next weekend.  The lakes are all shut down, the back country is totally off limits because we have a bunch of fires.  I had to quit working in my shop just now because the smoke is so bad.  Hank

 Hank,like you I have seen the videos!you might be able to get the wire winders opinion on the condition ofthe rest of the motor & advice on motor controllers, fly backdiodes etc. If they are small enough you could ask if you couldwatch the process. If you do it yourself you'll have to find a supplier of the correct wire gauge. It could be expensive buying a small quantitycompared to a motor winders bulk purchase.Alan

Okay, I apologize to the Chinese motor controller people.  Turns out I have a bad armature in my thruster motor.  The first relays burt up because I thought they were on the small side, but now that I have monster relays, I have discovered it is the motor.  I tested the armature windings against the good motor and found it is bad and in need of rewinding.  I found a place an hr away that does this.  But if they are too expensive, I will rewind it myself.Has anyone here done this, it looks simple enough on youtube ;-)Hank
