Our market is diverse and ranges
from the repair of small, special purpose motors to herculean size 10,000 HP equipment for
some of the nation's largest production and utility companies. Repair capability includes
foreign as well as domestic equipment.
Large or small, each customer's motor
receives the same detailed attention.
Quality conscious repair begins during disassembly when expert
mechanics make detailed inspections and measurements to identify electrical and mechanical
damage.
All mechanical repairs on shafts, bearing journals, end bells,
etc. are handled in-house by our own experienced machinists.
Old motor windings are stripped in a temperature controlled
burnout oven to prevent efficiency loss from lamination damage.
Motors are then rebuilt using the highest quality wire,
insulation, and varnish materials for long-lasting repairs in the most severe industrial
environments.
Each repaired motor is tested for correct electrical and
mechanical operation. Voltage, Current, Bearing temperature and Vibration are closely
monitored and documented.
Load testing provides the customer with additional information
on power consumption and efficiency.
Jenkins Electric uses diagnostic testing equipment
throughout the equipment rebuilding process to ensure quality workmanship. Motor coil
testing is done with the latest high voltage and surge testing techniques to verify coil
insulation integrity.
We have the capability to
manufacture both Random and Form Coils in-house for consistent quality control and fast
turn-around
.
Underwriter's Laboratory (U.L.) has certified Jenkins
Electric for rebuilding motors and generators that will be operated in hazardous
locations.
Top-rate insulation materials and winding procedures ensure long motor
life.
The service life of any motor is a function of its insulation
system. Jenkins Electric has standardized on the best materials available - Dupont's NOMEX®
insulation and P.D. George/Sterling varnishes.
In addition, our winding procedures have been developed to
maximize the thermal, dielectric, and mechanical strength of our insulation system. Each
job includes extra protection designed to extend motor service life - protection which
many major motor manufacturers now leave out:
Class F rated insulation to handle the toughest load
conditions.
Phase separations between each winding phase.
Motor coils tied on each end of the winding to eliminate
failures from coil movement.
Multiple dip and bake varnish cycles as opposed to less
effective "trickle thru" techniques.
Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI) for customers by request.
