(Just guessing.) > Gerry -------------------------------------- If there is a short to ground, have you thought about replacing the windings? In the past, if you could get the wedges/insulators out of the shorted stator or rotor windings and take them to a motor shop, they would wind new ones for you for a reasonable price. You might also wind your own if the wire is available. Years ago I knew a guy who would take his shorted windings down to a fishermans store and measure their length on one of those jigs they use to measure fishline. Then he'd use the same jig to reel off the same length of new wire. He'd take it home and wind it on a jig he would run on low speed in his drill press. He'd put it back in the stator or rotor with the same wedges/insulators. Claimed the motors ran well.
