Coil Connections and Bracing

The coils are inserted in the slots, and
firmly wedged in position with epoxy
glass or magnetic slot wedges.
Endwindings are securely braced to
prevent movement during service. Strict
quality control is exercised during the
winding process.

The winding is high voltage tested at

both mains and high frequency
immediately after the coils are inserted
and wedged, and again after
connecting. On completion of winding
phase resistances and impedances are
checked for balance and conformance
with design.

Impregnation
Flowpak stators are Vacuum Presure
Impregnated (VPI) with an epoxy resin.
The VPI system utilises materials with
a minimum resin content at the winding
stage, and places greater emphasis
on the final impregnation treatment.
This not only extracts all air from the
winding, but also forces the resin,
under pressure, into the interstices of
the coils until they are totally filled. All
coil packings retain a high proportion
of resin and the connections become
