What are the applications for VPI?
VPI has a real advantage for users who require longer machine life and increased reliability where particularly harsh environmental conditions can arise in applications such as mining, chemical, marine, and food industries. VPI can increase tolerance to marginal overloading of machines because of the better heat transfer and elimination of hot spots, enabling heat to be dispersed through the structure of the machine. VPI can be used to overcome problems of end winding movement, sometimes by VPI treatment alone and also by the addition of further bracing material before VPI treatment.
