Our Overhaul Approach
Experience in electrical component
overhauls and a client focus approach.
Overhaul
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
• 100% of the workforce connected
to live data in SAP
• Multiple workers able to work on
a single service order at one time
• Data recording in real time; work
is recorded as it is executed and
component information goes live
as it is gathered
• Improved quality and quantity
of asset data being gathered for
RCM driven activities
• A standard workflow irrespective
of equipment or motor type
• Fully traceable equipment history
records enabling analysis of historic
failure modes and compliance with
business and regulatory requirements
• Part number/serial number tracking
• Root cause analysis and reporting
on motor failures using parts history
data, enabling identification of high-
failure components
These features of SAM Mobility lead
to quantifiable improvements in Mean
Time Between Failure (MTBF) and Mean
Time Between Repair (MTBR) metrics
with improved turnaround times.
Management of the Overhaul Process
To provide our clients with the best possible solution UGL manage electrical
components at a serial number level using our material resourcing system
SAP and through the use of SAM Mobility. UGL has invested heavily into
SAM Mobility to ensure work execution efficiency and quality is maximised.
SAM Mobility is a direct user interface for workshop employees to UGL’s quality,
technical and overhaul process documentation. Mobility also allows for real
time data collection and diagnostics and provides:
5. Electrical Systems Overhaul | UGL 3
VPI Process
The Vacuum Pressure Impregnation
(VPI) process involves the cleaning
and preheating of the motor windings.
The motor windings are then placed
inside the pressure vessel and a
vacuum is created. Varnish is then
released into the vessel to submerge
the motor windings prior to pressure
being applied. By applying varnish in a
pressurised environment the varnish is
forced into any voids in the windings or
existing insulation resulting in a higher
level of electrical insulation integrity
and an increase in strength.
The varnish used in our VPI process is
a Class H Polyester varnish (IMI 707C).
The IMI707C varnish is specified by
GE and is recommended and used by
UGL as it provides a flexible structural
and insulating covering. The flexibility
provides resistance to motor vibration
and thermal stresses which results in
less in-service insulation degradation
that causes low IR failures.
The varnish is compatible with and
can be applied over the top of existing
epoxy varnish to fill cracking or voids
in existing insulation.
Spin Seasoner
UGL has the latest Cam Industries
armature seasoning equipment. This
Spin Seasoning machine is used to
check the integrity of commutator
bars and prevent premature in-service
failures caused by breaking or lifting
commutator bars. The process works by
heating and spinning armatures at high
speed to simulate high stress operation.
Following the Spin Seasoning process
the commutator profile is recorded for
any out of tolerance changes to the
structure of the commutator.
Automatic
Undercutter
UGL also has Cam Industries
undercutting machines ensuring
optimal commutator condition
following the reconditioning process.
The Automatic undercutter provides
uniformity in mica depth and the
chamfering of the commutator bars
resulting in maximum operating
commutation clearing away excess
carbon and reducing the potential
for electrical tracking and in-
service flashovers.
6. 4 UGL | Electrical Systems Overhaul
UGL has an established, tailored
maintenance programme of time-
based examinations, supported by
carefully managed time and duty
based overhauls. The key to achieving
these optimal results is the use of
Reliability, Availability, Maintainability
and Safety (RAMS) techniques to
identify motor requirements and
designated service intervals minimise
outage and significant failure events.
Our comprehensive maintenance
programme helps to increase life cycle
asset availability and reliability.
Asset Maintenance Planning
UGL provides complete maintenance plans to
protect valuable assets and align maintenance
activities to an asset’s usage patterns to
maintain operational requirements.
Overhaul
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
Motor Asset Management
UGL can provide an end-to-end asset management
solution to assist in maintaining asset value and
reducing the need for capital expenditure. Some of the
solutions we can provide include:
• Providing a maintenance plan with
scheduled servicing to improve
reliability,
• Improving the overhaul specification
of equipment to last longer in
service or
• Working with OEM’s and end users to
design and install new components
to existing equipment to increase
performance on current assets
and remove the need for costly
replacement equipment.
If upgrades are not possible then
UGL can complete the cost benefit
analysis of replacing existing inefficient
motors with new high efficiency motors.
The initial purchase price of a motor
typically only makes up around 3%
of the total lifecycle cost and other
factors need to be considered. High
efficiency motors can be coupled with
a combination of starting and control
systems to minimise operating and
total lifecycle cost. UGL can provide
recommended replacement options
that take into account what drive
system will produce the most reliable
long-term solution, minimise future
maintenance requirements and whole
of life cost through the use of low
energy components.

INSTALLATION OF DRIVE
SYSTEMS TO DECREASE
LIFECYCLE COSTS
While the cost of purchase is always
a factor when procuring new motors
there is often not enough focus put
on the total lifecycle cost of a motor.
Typically the purchase price of a motor
only makes up approx. 3% of the total
lifecycle cost and the efficiency of the
motor and its starting, control and
drive setup is critical to the long‑term
efficient operation of the motor.
UGL is experienced in the review of
motor application and can recommend
a specific drive system, whether it is
DOL, soft start or variable speed, to
meet the specific requirements of the
task and ensure efficient operation.
Maintenance costs should also be
considered with overhaul pricing likely
to be 2/3 times the purchase price of
the motor over its life for AC motors
and higher for DC motors. By sourcing
the correct motor system for the
application the ongoing maintenance
costs will be reduced with less in-
service failures and a higher level of
motor reliability.
UNIT EXCHANGE (UX) MOTORS
We source a wide range of Unit
Exchange Motors from local and
overseas providers to ensure that
if motors are uneconomical to repair
