Dealing with Contaminated Electric Motors

Following the last newsletter, EASA responded with these additional recommendations for reconditioning motors that have been submerged in salt water.

Chuck Yung of EASA (The Electrical Apparatus Service Association), a recipient of the MDMH newsletter, responded and suggested that I publish a link to three EASA tech notes on flushing Salt Water from motors, Building a portable drying oven and Insulation Resistance Testing.

These can be found on the EASA Home Page: http://www.easa.com

You can also find additional free information for motor owners on this site, including the downloadable ANSI/EASA AR100 motor repair standard.

If you have any questions concerning these materials, please feel free to email me at

Sincerely,

Howard
