White Paper: Returning Submerged Gearboxes and Electric Motors To Temporary Service
July 7, 2025
Wet or flooded equipment puts your operations at risk for
major delays - or even critical failure. Follow the operational
and maintenance procedures in this two-part guide to reduce
damage and maximize uptime.
This white paper outlines emergency procedures for restoring submerged gearboxes and electric motors to temporary service. It details an eight-step process to mitigate corrosion, including flushing with deionized water and oil, rotating shafts, and servicing lubrication and electrical systems for gearboxes. Special attention is given to saltwater contamination and drying techniques for motor windings. Designed for technical professionals, the guide emphasizes rapid response to minimize downtime and extend equipment life after flooding.
