Disadvantages of Resin Rich Coils vs VPI

Resin rich coils have several disadvantages compared to VPI coils for electric machines. They require thicker insulation that increases machine size. The reduced air gap between coils and slots decreases heat dissipation, raising temperatures and losses. During operation, the slide fit coils vibrate at twice line frequency and can damage insulation over time. Rewinding a VPI machine with resin rich coils would require reducing copper size by 20% to accommodate thicker insulation, increasing losses and reducing efficiency by 10-15 degrees compared to the original design. Resin rich coils are also more prone to slot insulation damage during operation due to rubbing inside the slots.

Disadvantages of Resin Rich coils :


1)The thickness of slot insulation required is more resulting in a bigger slot size and so increases the machine size.
2)The air gap between coil to slot reduces heat dissipation due to high thermal resistance of air resulting in increased - I
2
R
losses reducing the machine efficiency.
3)The slide fit coils vibrate twice the line frequency due to electro-magnetic forces rubbing with the slot inner surface. In due
course of time, the wall insulations get damaged leading to failure of machine.
Disadvantages of rewinding a machine from VPI technology to Resin Rich technology :
1)The wall thickness in case of VPI technology is comparatively less that required for Resin Rich technology as
detailed below :
It is evident from the above table that by rewinding a VPI insulated machine with Resin Rich insulation system,
the size of copper has to be reduced suitably to accommodate thicker wall insulation of the coils. Further in
Resin Rich system, the coils are inserted in the slots by slide fit which further reduces the copper size to achieve
the sliding gap. The total reduction in size of copper leads to approximately 20%reduction in rating of the
machine.
2) The presence of air gap between slot to coils reduces heat dissipation from the coils increasing the I
2
R losses
which in turn increases the temperature by 10 to 15 degrees morethan initial operating temperature reducing
machine efficiency and also leading to faster insulation deterioration and early failure of machine.
3)Increases the possibility of slot insulation damages by rubbing of coils in slot during operation.
4) Increase in overhang length to ease feeding of coils into the slots increases the length and resistance of coil
which in turn increases the I
2
R loss and reduces the efficiency of the machine.
