Motor and electrical fires are nasty!
Explosion proof motor?

 

I have not dug into it yet. I would not be surprised as it is in a dusty environment. I am glad garage did not burn down! I shut it down as soon as I saw smoke. It never did trip / blow the breaker.....
My guess is it will be expensive to fix...

 

 

If you have an armature type shop locally they may be able to rebuild the motor for you.

 

Also, no need to get exactly same motor, as long as same size and power.

 

Airtight fan motor....1.5 hp same RPM and single phase. Worth checking out???

when the magic smoke gets out,you cant get it back in

 

we needed a similar type motor at work, we found a compatible replacement at granger ours was a weird shaft too.

 

Spent the morning on the phone and found no direct replacement available.
Something close with adapter mount / base $600 But it "should fit" not very reassuring to my ears.
I did find a local shop that will look at the motor and repair for $300 or less was the estimate

I managed to get the motor and the "blower / impeller" section of the machine removed and so far cannot get thing apart. It is HEAVY

I would imagine price will just go up if I bring motor in like it is now.

Thanks for all the ideas / input

 

Smoke Pumps usually cost about the same as replacement parts...
