The electric motor is an important component in supporting the vannamei shrimp cultivation process. However, during the cultivation process, the waterwheel experienced a lot of damage caused by several factors. Evaluation of electric motors is very important to identify damage, causes, and determine appropriate repairs for damaged electric motor components. The purpose of evaluating this electric motor is to determine the level of efficiency of the electric motor. This research was carried out by evaluating 3-phase electric motors with power less than 1 hp with the results that the problems frequently experienced were damage to the bearings and copper windings in the stator caused by excessive loads received on the electric motor. The results of this research state that improvements using the rewinding method are the most appropriate because they can maintain the level of efficiency of electric motors and save more costs.
