762A Electrical Motor Rewinder

Current service use not established

This code is listed in the directory. Inclusion alone does not confirm current service use.

A Navy Enlisted Classification: a skill designation sailors hold in addition to their rating.

Overview

Electrical motor rewinders rewind AC and DC motor and generator stators, rotors, field coils, and armatures using round wire or formed coils. They record rewinding data, replace brushes and bearings, adjust brush rigging, dip and bake components, assemble equipment, and conduct test runs.

Core Skills

  • Winding data capture for motor rewinds
  • Brush replacement and brush rigging adjustment
  • Motor winding dipping and baking
  • Bearing renewal, reassembly, and test running

Civilian Career Paths

Career associations are editorial assessments of the cited evidence, not an official crosswalk unless the evidence explicitly says so. O*NET supplies civilian occupation information, not proof of a military match. Related experience does not confer civilian qualifications. Tasks and tools below describe civilian work, not military training.

Electric Motor, Power Tool, and Related Repairers

Rewinding motors and generators, replacing brushes and bearings, and reassembling and test-running units directly support electric motor repair work.

How to prepare: Prepare a motor-repair work sample documenting winding data, replaced components, reassembly steps, and test-run results for repair-shop applications.

What the civilian work involves
  • Reassemble repaired electric motors to specified requirements and ratings, using hand tools and electrical meters.
  • Repair and rebuild defective mechanical parts in electric motors, generators, and related equipment, using hand tools and power tools.
  • Inspect and test equipment to locate damage or worn parts and diagnose malfunctions, or read work orders or schematic drawings to determine required repairs.

Coil Winders, Tapers, and Finishers

Rewinding stators, rotors, field coils, and armatures with round wire or formed coils transfers directly to civilian coil-winding production.

How to prepare: Seek hands-on practice setting up and operating a production wire-coiling machine from a work order to bridge repair-shop winding experience to manufacturing.

What the civilian work involves
  • Operate or tend wire-coiling machines to wind wire coils used in electrical components such as resistors and transformers, and in electrical equipment and instruments such as bobbins and generators.
  • Attach, alter, and trim materials such as wire, insulation, and coils, using hand tools.
  • Review work orders and specifications to determine materials needed and types of parts to be processed.
