Vacuum Pressure Impregnated (VPI) power transformers utilize an open winding design, where the coil insulation is impregnated with an epoxy resin under vacuum and pressure, providing the windings a degree of protection against moisture and dirt, and improving the thermal conductivity of the winding which reduces localized hot spots. Furthermore, the VPI process removes air voids which deep within the windings, filling them with epoxy instead. These air voids, if not eliminated, can lead to higher partial discharges which can damage the transformer insulation over time, leading to premature failure. For a higher degree of protection, vacuum pressure encapsulated (VPE) coils can be utilized which involves repeated VPI and bake cycles. The VPE process builds a thick coat of epoxy over the windings which increases the windings resilience in humid and dirty environments.
