Platinum Insulation Process (PIP)
- Our PIP system results in void-free coils that are likewise bonded void-free to the slot walls of the laminated steel cores they are placed in
- The thermal conductivity of the resin is on the order of 100 times better than that of air, making for greatly improved heat transfer
- The resin bonds the internal component parts of the coils into a solid mass, producing a winding that is much more resistant to coil motion
