MOTOR DRYING (click here for more info)

Electrical motors, Generators & Transformers may suffer permanent damage when energized whilst the internal insulation is compromised due to moisture ingress from flooding or other circumstances. Newly wound windings require Gliptol or any varnish applied to the windings to increase the insulation level as well as prevent, to some extent the ingress of moisture. Both the above cases require the windings of the motor to be baked in order to obtain the required temperature for drying or curing of Gliptol.
