VPI

About VPI insulation

VPI stands for Vacuum Pressure Impregnation.  It is a process by which a fully wound rotor or stator  is completely submerged in resin.  Through a combination of dry and wet vacuum and pressure cycles, the resin is assimilated throughout the insulation system.

A VPI insulation system provides an optimal shield for windings in harsh environments while also improving the mechanical stiffness of the rotating machine.
