Foreword 

(This introduction is not part of IEEE Std 1068-1996, IEEE Recommended Practice for the Repair and Rewinding of Motors for the Petroleum and Chemical Industry.)

This recommended practice was conceived at the Petroleum and Chemical Industry Conference held in September 1984 in San Francisco, following a panel discussion on motor repair. The Project Authorization Request was submitted 26 September 1984, and was approved by the IEEE Standards Board on 13 December 1984. The project was sponsored jointly by the Petroleum and Chemical Industry Committee (PCIC) of the Industry Applications Society and the Electric Machinery Committee (EMC)* of the Power Engineering Society. The first ballot was mailed out in June 1989. Although the required affirmative votes were received and negative ballots were resolved, it was felt that a reballot was in order, and the second ballot was mailed in November 1989. This recommended practice was put back in the revision cycle in 1991 in anticipation of a need for an early revision. The revised document was balloted in 1995, reballoted in May 1996, and submitted to the IEEE Standards Board in June 1996.

The IEEE Motor Repair and Rewind Working Group, which had members from both the PCIC and the EMC, had the following membership:

Milton H. Ramsey, Co-Chair

J. Kirk Armintor, Co-Chair

Keith Fontenot

John Keinz

Bill Lockley

M.A. Martin

Alan Mixon

Dick L. Nailen

Bill Newman

Frank Sabo

Serge Tetreault

Barry M. Wood

Scope 

This recommended practice covers general recommendations for the repair of electric motors and includes recommendations for both the user and the repair facility. It is not intended to supplant specific instructions contained in the manufacturer's instruction book or in any contractual agreement between a manufacturer and a purchaser of a given machine.

These recommendations apply to horizontal and vertical motors, NEMA frame size 140 and above, having a voltage rating of 15 kV or less. These recommendations apply only to the repair of motors and are not intended to cover major modifications.

Excluded from the scope of this recommended practice are the following:

- Specific requirements, certification, and inspection required for listed explosion-proof and dust-ignition-proof machines.

- Any specific or additional requirements for hermetic motors, hydrogen-cooled machines, submersible motors, or Class 1E nuclear service motors.
