Priest Electric To Offer Affordable And Timely Electric Motor Repair For Gold Mining Operations

Online, December 3, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Caldwell, ID Thanks to the rising gold prices, the gold mining industry is experiencing a boom. In fact, mining operations are being carried out 24x7. Priest Electric, the Boise based electric motor repair company offers affordable and timely services. Needless to say, electric motors are the workhorse of industries all around the world. This is indeed a boon for gold mining operations companies, where a minor repair can bring the entire operations to a standstill.

The company is a member of EASA- the Electric Apparatus Service Association. Members of this association follow a strict code of conduct in terms of customer service, when selling and conducting repair and service of electric motors, drives, controls, and other pumps.

Repairing electric motors can be challenging, however, some companies like Priest Electric have made a name for themselves by being experts in the industry. The job is often two fold; - to repair the equipments and to convince prospective clients that through proper testing rewound motors can retain their operating efficiency.

When a motor is brought for repair, the job begins by disassembling the parts for a thorough clean and inspection for mechanical wear and tear. The next step is to hydro clean and bake dry the motor, in a high temperature H Class insulating varnish. AMBA tolerance is now repaired and tolerated. The final output is then checked for straightness, condition of the keyway, and proper size. The rotor is also checked to balance according to NEMA Standards. The bearing is then replaced with high quality class C3 bearings. And at the end of the repair session, the motor is then reassembled, painted and then test run to check for proper operation.

"We can repair electric motors with capacity up to 5,000 horse powers and test run at a voltage of 460/2300/4160 volts. These motors are inspected and run to check for quality control. We also represent motor manufacturers as an authorized warranty and electric motor repair facility in Boise, Idaho, Nevada, and Oregon," says the spokesperson for Priest Electric. The company is also involved in industrial pump repair and fan rebuilding.
