MOTOR WINDING MECHANIC FOR STEEL MANUFACTURING

A Motor Winding Mechanic (also called an Electric Motor Winder or Winding Technician) inspects, repairs, and rewinds the electrical coils inside AC/DC motors, generators, and transformers to restore proper performance. Job Summary The Motor Winding Mechanic diagnoses electrical and mechanical faults in rotating equipment and executes complete rewinding and overhaul procedures according to industry standards (such as EASA or IEEE). Key Responsibilities Diagnosis & Testing: Test incoming motors using multimeters, megohmmeters (meggars), surge testers, and hi-pot testers to locate shorts, grounds, or open circuits. Disassembly: Dismantle stators, rotors, armatures, bearings, and housings, carefully documenting internal winding data and coil configurations. Stripping & Prep: Remove old, damaged coils, clean core slots, test laminations, and install fresh sheet/slot insulation. Rewinding: Wind new copper or aluminum wire coils by hand or using specialized winding machines, ensuring proper tension, wire size, and slot alignment. Assembly & Quality Control: Reassemble the motor, replace worn mechanical parts (bearings, seals, brushes), and run final load, resistance, and insulation tests. Documentation & Safety: Record technical specifications, repair steps, and test results while maintaining a clean, OSHA-compliant workspace.
