Removing grounds from hoist motor with Heat

One method used in removing grounds from a water


damaged hoist motor commutator is by applying heat.
This 240 VAC toaster draws from 30,000 to 40,000
watts. As the photo shows this toaster sat right up againt the
commutator for 24 hours. The following day the toaster was
positioned to the opposite side. The megger readings at the
time of this photo jumped from ground and is currently holding
in the Megohm range. Although infinity is my ideal goal, if the
hoist motor maintains a megohm range it will be put back into
service as the company always has the final say.

Thankyou,
John Fellin
