    Vacuum Pressure Impregnation: What Is It?

    Uploaded by

    Praveen Kumar
    Vacuum pressure impregnation is a process for fully impregnating electric motor coils and insulation. It removes air, gas, and moisture, allowing for complete penetration and improved heat dissipation, insulation life, and resistance to cracking, corrosion, and movement. The process involves preheating, de-aerating resin, cooling, pulling a vacuum on the stator chamber, impregnating under vacuum pressure for an hour, depressurizing, and curing. VPI provides higher longevity by fully encapsulating components and is used as the industry standard for extreme heavy duty applications, helping to substantially reduce electric motor failures.

    Typical Treatment Cycle for Vacuum Pressure Impregnation


    1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Preheat for 3 Hours at 250 degrees F. De-aerate Resin in Reservoir: 1mm. Cool Stator: 70-100 degrees F. Place Stator in Chamber and pull Vacuum: 1mm. Impregnate and hold Vacuum: 1 hour. Pressure Chamber: 80-100 psi for 1 hour. Depressurize and drain. Cure: 5 hours at 300 degrees F. Repeat Process

    One of the high longevity contributors to the electric motor is the method of encapsulation. The highest industry standards for electric motor encapsulation is through a process called VPI; (Vacuum Pressure Impregnation) This state of the art method is only used in less than 10% of worlds standard electric motor production and is primarily applied on extreme heavy duty applications. Van der Graaf has adopted the VPI method as standard to all of our products. This process has helped the end user to reduce electric motor failures substantially.
