DIRECT CURRENT ELECTRIC MOTORS (DC)

Wajax | Delom is a key partner in the maintenance and the protection of your critical equipment’s productivity. For the past 50 years, our specialists have been repairing, rewinding and maintaining thousands of DC electric motors of all sizes and for all types of industries.

Wajax | Delom has developed predictive and preventive maintenance programs specifically for DC electric motors. When it comes to the maintenance and repairs DC electric motors, trust our expertise.

Since the 19th century, DC electric motors have been a key element in the world’s industrial production. Though today they tend to be replaced by AC electric motors, they remain a vital part of operational needs in mining, pulp and paper production, rail transportation as well as in the excitation systems of midsize hydroelectric power plants.

In order to ensure that DC electric motors operate smoothly, our experts must carry out several specific adjustments during refurbishment operations. In addition, while starting up the unit in your premises, they take into account peripheral settings such as load, power supply data, operational temperature, humidity and contamination so as to ensure top performance.
