Review of Australian Standards. To keep abreast of progress in industry, Australi an Standards are subject
to periodic review and are kept up to date by the issue of amendments or new editi ons as necessary. It is
important therefore that Standards users ensure that they are in possession of the latest editi on, and any
amendments thereto.
Full detail s of all Australian Standards and related publi cati ons wil l be found in the Standards Australi a
Catalogue of Publications; this information is supplemented each month by the magazine ‘The Australi an
Standard’, which subscribing members receive, and which gives details of new publications, new editi ons
and amendments, and of withdrawn Standards.
Suggesti ons for improvements to Australian Standards, addressed to the head offi ce of Standards Australia,
are welcomed. Notif ication of any inaccuracy or ambiguit y found in an Australi an Standard should be made
without delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action taken.

This Standard was issued in draft form for comment as DR 93088.

PREFACE

This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee on Rotating Electrical
Machinery with particular input from the Electrical Apparatus Service Association
(EASA) —Australasian Chapter.
The objective of this Standard is to provide machine repair workshops with minimum
standards and procedural guidance for the examination, rewinding and overhaul of rotating
electrical machines.
The term ‘informative’ has been used in this Standard to define the application of the
appendix to which it applies. An ‘informative’ appendix is for information and guidance
only.
A second Part of this Standard is planned to cover high voltage machines.

Australian Standard
Rotating electrical machines — Repair and overhaul

Part 1: Low voltage machines

S E C T I O N 1 G EN E R AL

1.1 SCOPE This Standard specifies minimum requirements for the rewinding and
rebuilding of low voltage rotating electrical machines in the range 180 W (VA) to
400 kW (kVA).
This is a free 7 page sample. Access the full version at http://infostore.saiglobal.com.

NOTE: For other ratings additional measures may be required.

The Standard describes record keeping, tests, analysis and general guidelines for the repair
of electrical generators and motors. It may be supplemented by specific instructions or
specifications of the customer or the machine manufacturer.
The Standard does not include requirements for certification or inspection of explosion-proof,
dust-ignition-proof or other machines for hazardous locations; nor does it include specific or
additional requirements for hermetic motors, hydrogen-cooled machines, submersible motors,
nuclear service motors or traction motors.
NOTE: Information to be supplied with enquiries and orders for repair or overhaul of machines is
given in Appendix A.
