Wow I'm checking rotors on the big motors from now on. I hope I didn't scrap an old copper rotor for steel even a few days ago. I've been able to crack the cast iron cases on up to 50hp motors before with a maul/sledge/ railroad spike/nail hammers. Although that's the biggest 50hp motor I've seen.

Ya, it must be an old one. I agree its a different setup than I've seen as well. Hopefully it wasn't copper :) I bet you won't let one sneak by from now on lol. I have cracked casings on 300 hp motors before. Since then I found that they are made to be removed and you just have to drill out some plug welds. Lots of the smaller motors (well pretty big ones) have roll pins or studs that hold them in. If they are big enough to be fixed they are made to be taken apart without splitting the casing (except for this old one :)).

I think I saw a video from pakistan scrapping big rotors like that, they cut the one end and burn the rotor to get the copper.

I think I seen that same video :) I have broke down two 300 hp motors right around 3000lbs. That really is the only way to do those huge motors. When we send motors in to get fixed that is how they do it as well, cook out the windings, clean it up and then rewind. Thanks for the comment man!

I can see that. The video is a little long as well. I've got a bigger one to do sometime so I hope I can make a better video on that one. Thanks for the input man.
