High Voltage Coils – Making Quality Cost Effective The product level requires precision engineering in the design of any new coils, high standards of quality control in selecting and processing the raw materials as well as consistent verification of the quality of insulation being installed. The process aspect concentrates on the continuous design improvement and rigorous quality control with thorough component testing completed throughout the production processes. Production to exact design specifications Quality assurance is crucial and there are several standards which must be met, especially for the testing of HV coils, F or industries operating and maintaining high voltage (HV) motors and generators, a cost effective, timely and planned repair schedule is crucial to maintaining productivity. Central to this regime is the use of high quality, precision manufactured stator coils, available through a local and trusted partner that can deliver long term reliability, improved performance and minimal downtime. Danny Fox, Coil Shop Manager at Sulzer's Birmingham Service Center, looks at the key aspects of
