Industrial motor and Generator Repair & Rewind Services

At Continental, we focus on keeping your operation running by providing complete repair and rewind services for all types of industrial electric motors and generators. From AC and DC to vertical, crusher duty, and explosion-proof models, we’ve got you covered. We also handle magnet rewinds, armature and generator rewinds, and even specialized Grid Blower Motor repairs—so no matter the challenge, we have the expertise to deliver.

In addition, we’re equipped to service equipment up to 30,000 HP and 13.8kV with unmatched precision and care. Our advanced facilities feature everything from 600 Amp DC testing (0–750V) to dynamic balancing up to 10 tons, along with a 1000 kVA test panel for high-voltage AC equipment. This means you can count on us to handle even your most demanding repairs with confidence.

What truly sets us apart, however, is our commitment to long-term reliability. We use a Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI) process with 478 epoxy to give your equipment superior insulation and lasting performance. Combined with our strict quality controls and open communication, you can trust Continental to restore your critical equipment quickly, reliably, and with minimal disruption to your business.

When Repair Doesn’t Make Sense

Repair costs approach 70% or more of a new motor
Lead time for repair equals or exceeds new-motor delivery
Motor has an unknown service history or multiple past failures
It’s a general-purpose, commodity-frame motor
Application downtime cost is higher than the repair savings

“Our goal isn’t to sell you the most expensive option — it’s to help you make the best lifecycle decision for your equipment.”

A Simple Rule of Thumb

Under 100HP?

If repair ≥ 70% of replacement cost → Replace
If replacement is in stock or available quickly → Replace
If motor is special / OEM / explosion-proof → Evaluate Repair

Over 100HP?

👉 Repair is often more economical — evaluation recommended

Why Replacement Is Often the Better Business Decision

Faster return to service
Full factory warranty
Latest energy-efficiency standards
Reduced risk of repeat failure
Lower lifetime operating cost

Exceptions — When Repair Is Worthwhile

Custom or obsolete frames
OEM-engineered motors
Hazardous-location or specialty motors
Large HP motors, where replacement costs and lead times are high
Motors integrated into critical systems
