Duration: 45 minutes
Course format: Slide-based video presentation with quiz.
This lesson provides an overview of repair/rewind practices and tips that will help service center technicians and motor winders maintain or increase the efficiency, reliability and quality of the motors they repair.
Some of the included procedures included derive directly from the 2019 and 2003 rewind studies by EASA and AEMT of the impact of repair/rewinding on motor efficiency. Others are based on the findings of an earlier AEMT study [1998] of small/ medium size three-phase induction motors and well-established industry good practices .
The procedures in this guide cover all three-phase, random-wound induction motors. Much of the guide also applies to form-wound stators of similar sizes.
(Note: This guide provides many specific procedures and recommendations. Alternative practices may accomplish the same results but must be verified.)
Upload the Completed Checklist
Once all activities on the checklist have been completed and signed by the student's supervisor(s)/mentor(s), the student will upload the checklist through an activity in the ERT course within the EASA Learning Center.

I have an ERT Certificate Program subscription. How do I access the course?
The ERT Certificate Program is made up of many individual courses from throughout the EASA Learning Center. This brief video will walk you through enrolling in the course and how to access the required components.
I know my subscription is good, but I'm seeing a "subscription expired" message.
This more than likely is a page caching issue with your web browser and may most likely occur with companies that have purchased a general learning library subscription.
Here is an example scenario: Employee "A" has a valid subscription. Employee "A" logs in and works on their courses. Later, their employer moves their subscription to employee "B". Employee "A" logs into the EASA Learning Center and discovers their subscription is no longer valid and a subscription expiration message is displayed. Employee "A's" web browser caches this page containing the expiration message. Some time later, the employer moves the subscription from employee "B" back to employee "A". Employee "A" returns to the EASA Learning Center with his valid subscription, but sees an erroneous "subscription expired" message. This is because the web browser is displaying an old cached version of the page. Clearing the cache and reloading the page takes care of this problem.

Why am I not able to test out of the EASA Vo-Tech courses?
EASA discovered that the vendor we licensed the learning content from had misconfigured the EASA Vo-Tech modules to not allow the final test to be accessed unless all lessons had been completed. In other words, no way to test out. The vendor has modified the course settings, however, the new settings will only take effect for students that are newly entering a Vo-Tech course.
If a student has passed the pre-test and remains locked out of taking the post-test, they may reach out to learn@pingguozs.com and explain the situation.
In order to unlock the post-test, EASA will need to mark each lesson as “completed.” Once done, the student should be able to go directly to the post-test. Even though the lessons have been marked as complete (required to unlock the post-test), the student should be able to go back to any of the lessons should they want to watch or review them.
