Abstract: A method of replacing a failed interpole coil on a DC motor field frame having integral interpole coil cores. The failed interpole coil is removed from the interpole coil core of the field frame. A new interpole coil, separate from the corresponding interpole coil core, is wound to replace the failed interpole coil, the new interpole coil including conductor turns and insulation. A retainer is mounted to the field frame at an axial end thereof, the retainer having a body portion extending radially inward with a width configured to fit within an interior dimension of the new interpole coil. The retainer has a stand-off projecting from the body. The new interpole coil is assembled in a radial direction onto the corresponding interpole coil core such that the new interpole coil is positioned by the stand-off. The insulation of the new interpole coil is resin coated and cured.
