Optimization of Vacuum Impregnation Plant Using Taguchi Methodology

Abstract

The main reason for high life of the electric motor is the process of encapsulation. The process which is used for the encapsulation is known as vacuum pressure impregnation (VPI). This process has helped the end-user to reduce electric motor failures substantially. The following research gives emphasis on the possibilities of the optimization of the VPI plant for better outputs. Six control parameters have been selected for the optimization of the VPI plant, and Taguchi’s experimental design has been selected for finding the influencing function of the control parameters.
