Testing

SME‘s West Australian facility, located in Perth, provides for an extensive testing regime for repaired and overhauled motors. SME can full load test motors on our dynamometers and can also offer performance testing of complete pump/motor units in our purpose built test tank – at the specified voltage and frequency up to 6600 volts.

SME can guarantee motors that have been serviced and repaired are fit for purpose before dispatch, providing customers with complete confidence in the work prior to re-installation. All motors that are rewound by SME are subject to an immersion pressure test which is conducted in our pressure test vessel to ensure the integrity of the windings prior to assembly and load testing. Our commitment to a strict testing regime protects our clients from the risks of downtime caused by unexpected failure.
