Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI)
VPI stands for Vacuum Pressure Impregnation. VPI is a process that uses a combination of vacuum and pressure cycles to seal porous materials with a resin resulting in a void free insulation system.
Schulz has two independent VPI systems in-house, specific to the Schulz insulation system and to EPRI, respectively.
- A winding that undergoes VPI is virtually impervious to oil, moisture and chemical contaminants.
- Results in the greatest mechanical strength for windings, a cooler running motor, improves performance and reliability and extends machine life.
- Can be used for AC and DC motor stators, armatures, field coils and transformers.
- Post VPI windings will pass spray and immersion hi-pot testing.
