DuPont selects Brithinee Electric for Nomex ® Case Study
Colton, California, November 13, 2005: Brithinee Electric has been selected by DuPont ™ NOMEX ® for a case study on repaired motor performance using NOMEX ® heat resistant papers. Brithinee Electric is one of only four firms in the United States recognized by the DuPont ™ Motor Repair Alliance Program.
Brithinee Electric has a reputation for innovation and quality in its motor repair facility in Colton, California. Zero failures on all rewinds during the warranty period is a result of setting higher standards for materials and workmanship on motor rewinds and repairs of industrial motors. The case study covers the Brithinee legacy of paying attention to details in all areas of materials selection and labor procedures. Careful records are kept on the repair specifications for each motor, using a proprietary database developed in-house for this purpose.
Don and Wally Brithinee, owners and twin brothers, have carefully selected the materials they incorporate into their products. For example, says Don, “We have special wire made. The industry standard allows five discontinuities in the wire film coating, per one-hundred linear feet. Our wire is continually tested during manufacture and results in zero film discontinuities per one-hundred feet. Plus, the wire we use has a consistently higher rating in the manufacturer’s scrape test than the wire routinely used by the repair industry.” This attention to quality contributes to the company’s record of zero winding failures during the warranty period on a repaired motor.
Using NOMEX ® from DuPont ™ has similar results. NOMEX ® is the premium product for insulation, distinguishing Brithinee Electric from many other companies. While other businesses may have the product on their shelves, Brithinee Electric has decided to move to 100% use for reliable, superior performance. “As technology advances, raw materials play a critical role as the building blocks of quality, and NOMEX ® is a big part of that,” says Wally Brithinee.
These and other materials, along with strict adherence to procedure, have created a reputation for innovation, and quality. Brithinee Electric has seen substantial growth in the mature motor repair market.
While they were earning their Ph.D.’s in mathematics from the University of California Riverside, Wally and Don worked full time in the motor repair shop they co-founded with their parents, more than 42 years ago. They learned the business from top to bottom —from tearing down a motor and finding the cause of failure s, to rewinding and balancing. Today, Brithinee Electric also sells new motors and fabricates custom motor control systems for a wide variety of motor and power applications.
Brithinee Electric has always considered Colton as a likely place to service all of Southern California. It is, after all, the historical transportation hub of Southern California. As Brithinee Electric has grown and become the largest independent motor repair company in the region, the company also does work for companies throughout the western United States on all types of industrial motors and generators.
