UNDERSTANDING OF MANUFACTURING PROCESS

Overview of 3-Phase Induction Motor

A 3-phase induction motor is an electric motor which converts electrical energy


to mechanical energy. that operates on three-phase alternating current (AC)
power. It is widely used in industrial and commercial applications due to its
robustness, simplicity, and efficiency. The key components of a 3-phase
induction motor are the stator, rotor, and frame.

Components of a 3-Phase Induction Motor

 Frame: The frame provides mechanical support and protection to the


motor components. It also helps in dissipating heat generated during motor
operation.
 Stator: The stator is the stationary part of the motor where the input AC is
given, consisting of three main parts:
 Stator Winding: These are coils of wire placed in slots in the stator core.
When 3-phase AC is applied, it creates a rotating magnetic field.
 Stator Core: Made up of laminated sheets of electrical steel, the core
supports the windings and carries the alternating magnetic flux,
reducing hysteresis and eddy current losses.
 Stator Casing: Provides mechanical support for the stator.
 Rotor: The rotor is the rotating part of the motor where the output is taken,
located inside the stator. There are two types of rotors:
 Squirrel Cage Rotor: This is the most common type, consisting of
conductive bars short-circuited by end rings. The bars are skewed to
prevent locking and reduce noise.
 Slip Ring Rotor (wound rotor): More complex and requiring higher
maintenance, this rotor has windings connected to external resistors via
slip rings, allowing control over the starting torque and speed.

Working Principle of a 3-Phase Induction Motor: The motor operates on the


principle of electromagnetic induction. When 3-phase AC supply is given to the
stator windings, it creates a rotating magnetic field. This magnetic field cuts the
rotor conductors, inducing a current in them (according to Faraday's law of
electromagnetic induction). The induced current in the rotor creates its own
magnetic field, which interacts with the stator's rotating magnetic field. The
interaction of these fields generates a torque that causes the rotor to rotate. The
speed of the rotor is always less than the speed of the rotating magnetic field, a
phenomenon known as slip. Slip is necessary for induction to occur.

Types of Motors: Synchronous and Asynchronous

 Synchronous Motors: In these motors, the rotor rotates at the same speed
as the rotating magnetic field of the stator. They require additional
components to maintain synchronization.
 Asynchronous (Induction) Motors: The rotor speed is less than the stator's
rotating magnetic field speed. This type is more common due to its
simplicity and reliability.

Applications of 3-Phase Induction Motors

3-phase induction motors are used in a variety of applications due to their


durability and efficiency. Some common applications include:

 Industrial Machinery: Conveyor belts, mixers, grinders, and compressors.


 Pumps: Used in water supply, irrigation, and sewage treatment.
 Fans and Blowers: For ventilation and cooling systems.
 HVAC Systems: Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems in
buildings.
 Elevators and Escalators: For vertical transportation in buildings.
 Electric Vehicles (EVs): Providing propulsion in electric cars and buses.
 Marine Propulsion: Used in ships and submarines.
 Construction Equipment: Cement mixers and other machinery.
 Oil and Gas Industry: For drilling and extraction equipment.
 Manufacturing Plants: Driving machinery in production lines.

Bearings in 3-Phase Induction Motors

 Sleeve Bearing: A cylindrical bearing placed between the rotating shaft


and bearing housing. It relies on a thin film of lubricant to reduce friction
and wear, also aiding in heat dissipation.
 Anti-Friction Bearing: Also known as rolling-element bearing, it uses
balls or rollers to maintain the separation between the bearing races,
reducing friction and handling higher loads. Common types are ball
bearings, roller bearings, and needle bearings.

Core Construction: Laminated vs. Solid


 Laminated Core: Consists of stacked insulated laminations to minimize
eddy current losses, resulting in higher efficiency. However, it is more
complex to manufacture.
 Solid Core: Easier to manufacture and more durable but suffers from
higher eddy current and hysteresis losses, leading to lower efficiency.

PROCESS FLOW

During my internship at TMEIC, I had the opportunity to observe several critical


manufacturing processes involved in Motor Manufacturing. These processes

of electrical components like motors.
 Key Activities: Shaping of conductive materials (copper) into coil by
looping, moulding by hot pressing machine, forming into coils, and wall
insulation.

Coil Winding:

 Description: The procedure where conductive coils are inserted into the
core slots.
 Key Activities: Manual mounting of coils into the slots, wedging, testing.

VPI (Vacuum Pressure Impregnation):

 Description: A critical insulation process where components, typically


wound stator is impregnated with resin under vacuum and pressure to
enhance insulation properties for both electrical and mechanical strength.
 Key Activities: Preparing components, pre-heating, impregnating with
resin, curing, and ensuring complete sealing to prevent electrical
breakdown.

Insulation Testing of wound stator:

 Description: Insulation testing involves conducting electrical tests to the


stator windings to measure various parameters such as insulation
resistance, dielectric strength, and the presence of partial discharges.
 Key Activities: Various types to check the insulation of the wound stator
like Coil winding resistance, IR, PI, PD, tan delta, ACHV, Surge test etc

Core Assembly of Rotor:

 Description: The process of assembling rotor core, which are crucial


components in rotating machinery like induction motor.
 Key Activities: Like stator core assembly, involves stacking and securing
laminations, ensuring precise alignment, and incorporating shafts and rotor
bars and End Rings.

Final Assembly:

 Description: The stage where all components, including stators, rotors,


and auxiliary parts, are integrated to form the final product.
 Key Activities: Fitting components together, connecting electrical and
mechanical interfaces, and ensuring alignment and functionality before
final testing.
UNDERSTANDING OF CORE ASSEMBLY OF STATOR

Overview:

The stator assembly process is a critical aspect of electric motor manufacturing,


beginning with the preparation and inspection of materials such as cold rolled
silicon steel lamination sheets and mild steel clamping plates. These materials
undergo dimensional checks to ensure they meet specified dimensions. The
assembly process involves several key stages: stacking the lamination sheets with
precise alignment, strategic placement of duct plates for cooling, and securing the
stack with hydraulic pressing and clamping plates. TIG welding is employed to
attach core bars securely, enhancing the mechanical stability of the stator.
Throughout the process, quality control measures, including final inspections and
core loop tests, are implemented to verify the dimensional accuracy, alignment,
and overall quality of the stator assembly. These steps ensure that the stator core
meets the industry standards, contributing to the reliability and efficiency of the
final motor.

Material Preparation and Inspection:

 Lamination Stampings (Cold Rolled Silicon Steel):

 The stator assembly process begins with the inspection of cold rolled
silicon steel lamination stampings. These sheets are chosen for their
magnetic properties, essential for efficient operation in the motor.
 Each lamination sheet is inspected for dimensional accuracy and
surface imperfections. This ensures that the sheets meet specified
tolerances and will contribute to minimal energy loss through eddy
currents.

 Clamping Plates (Mild Steel):


 Mild steel clamping plates are selected for their mechanical strength.
These plates will be used to hold the laminated core together securely.
 Like the lamination sheets, clamping plates undergo inspection for
dimensional accuracy and surface quality to ensure proper assembly
and structural integrity of the stator core.

Process Flow:
Assembly Sequence:

 Dimensional Checks:
 Before assembly begins, thorough dimensional checks are conducted
on all components. This includes lamination sheets, clamping plates,
and any additional components like duct plates.
 Precise measurements are crucial to ensure that all parts fit together
seamlessly, which is essential for the optimal performance and
longevity of the stator assembly.

 Stacking Process:

 Mandrill Selection and Preparation:


 Specific mandrills are selected based on the dimensions
of the lamination sheets. Mandrills provide support
during the stacking process, ensuring uniform
alignment and minimizing the risk of damage to the
delicate lamination edges.
 Initial Stacking:
 The assembly process begins with the stacking of
lamination sheets. A pressing ring is used in
conjunction with a hydraulic press (200T) to start the
stacking process.
 This initial stage involves stacking a portion of the
laminations to form a half stack. Careful attention is
paid to aligning the lamination sheets to maintain the
integrity of the core shape.
 Duct Plate Placement:
 Duct plates, which facilitate airflow for cooling
purposes, are strategically placed during the stacking
process. Proper placement of duct plates is critical to
ensure effective cooling of the stator core during motor
operation.
 Completion of Full Stack:
 After the half stack is assembled and aligned, the
remaining lamination sheets are added to complete the
full stack.

 Clamping Plate Installation:


 Once the full stack is assembled, clamping plates are installed around
the perimeter of the stator core.
 These clamping plates are secured to maintain the compression of the
laminations and to prevent any movement that could compromise the
stator core's structural integrity.

 Pressing:

 After clamping plate installation, the stator assembly undergoes


pressing to remove any remaining gaps and to enhance mechanical
stability.

 Welding of Core Bar:

 Tig welding is employed to weld core bars to the clamping plates and
the laminated core under the pressing condition.
 This welding process ensures that the core bars are securely attached,
further enhancing the mechanical stability of the stator assembly.

 Filing:

 Filing is done in slots to remove any sharp parts in the slots which helps
to avoid damage to the coil while insertion.

Quality Control:

 Final Inspection:

 After assembly, a final inspection is conducted to verify the


dimensional accuracy, alignment, and overall quality of the stator
assembly.
 This inspection ensures that the stator core meets all specified
requirements and is ready for subsequent phases of motor assembly.

 Core Loop Test:

o Purpose:

 The primary purpose of conducting the core loop test before coil winding
is to evaluate the core assembly's magnetic and electrical characteristics in
its initial state. This ensures that the core itself meets design specifications
before proceeding with the winding process.

 Significance:
 Conducting the core loop test before coil winding ensures that any issues
with the core assembly are identified and rectified early in the
manufacturing process.
 It helps in preventing costly rework or defects in the final stator assembly
by addressing core-related issues upfront.
 Enhances overall stator quality, reliability, and performance by ensuring
that the magnetic and electrical characteristics of the core meet industry
standards.

Conclusion:

The stator core assembly process is a highly detailed and precise series of steps
that ensure the production of a robust and efficient induction motor. From the
careful selection and dimension checking of materials to the assembly and
pressing of laminated sheets, each phase is critical in achieving the desired
mechanical and electrical properties. The use of advanced techniques such as TIG
welding, hydraulic pressing, and thorough inspections, guarantees the integrity
and performance of the stator core.
UNDERSTANDING OF COIL MAKING

Overview:

The process of coil manufacturing for induction motors involves multiple various
stages to ensure the quality and reliability of the final product. Initially, copper
rectangular wire, the primary material, is prepared and insulated with mica layers,
from the wound bobbins in specific configurations. The wire is looped using an
automated coil looping machine, incorporating a resin-filled mould sheet for
bonding. Resistance check is at this stage after looping. Adhesive tapes are used
to lock the copper turns and the coils are pressed using a Heat Coil Pressing
Machine at high temperature and pressure to ensure compactness. After cooling,
the coils are formed into their final shape and taped with various types of
insulation, including mica, corona, and silicon carbide tapes, depending on the
specifications. Final testing involves surge tests to ensure inter turn insulation.
Throughout the process, quality control measures are in place to ensure the coils
meet the necessary standards for reliable motor operation.

Material Preparation and Sourcing

The primary material for coil making is copper wire. The dimensions of the
copper wire vary according to the project requirements. These wires are mica-
insulated, with designations such as 2PP (2 layers of insulation) or 3PP (3 layers
of insulation), etc. The copper wire is wound onto bobbins, which can be arranged
in either 2 parallel or 4 parallel configurations depending on the required ratings.
Process Flow:
Coil Looping

The copper wire is looped using a coil looping machine. This machine is versatile
and automated, capable of handling a wide range of loop lengths and conductor
widths. It can draw conductors from multiple bobbins simultaneously, and loop
the wire while maintaining precise tension. During the looping process, a mould
sheet containing semi cured-resin is inserted between the wires. This sheet is
crucial for the next process as it melts and bonds the wires together.

Adhesive Taping

Additional adhesive tapes are used to give mechanical strength to the turns of the
coils, ensuring a compact and solid structure. This step is essential for
maintaining the integrity.
Coil Moulding

The looped coils are then subjected to a pressing process using a Heat Coil
Pressing Machine. The coils undergo vertical and horizontal pressure at 165
degrees Celsius and 100 bar pressure. This process provides mechanical strength
to the straight part of the coil, and the mould sheet resin melts and bonds the
copper wires together after curing. Teflon sheets are used as a base to prevent
direct contact between the coil and the press, protecting the coil from damage.

Forming

Once cooled, the coils are shaped into their final form which is a trapezoidal shape
using an automated forming machine. The coil is placed in the intended position,
and the machine completes the forming process to fit the coil into the stator core.

Straight part Insulating

The straight parts of the coil are insulated using mica tapes in a straight taping
machine. The types of mica tapes used depend on the rating.

Corner (Nose) part Insulating

Due to machine dimension restrictions, the corners or noses of the coils are
insulated manually. The lead is first insulated with mica tape, followed by the
nose part.

Corona Taping

Corona tape is used for the straight parts of the coil to prevent corona discharge,
which can ionize the air around the conductors. This tape requires cold storage
less than room temperature

SiC Taping

Silicon Carbide (SiC) tape requires cold storage below 10 degrees Celsius to
preserve its mechanical properties. This tape is used in higher voltage motor to
prevent deformation caused by voltage surges during motor operation. SiC tape
is applied at the turning points after the straight part of the coil.

Polyester Taping

After applying the required mica and corona tapes, the remaining parts of the coil
are insulated with polyester tape.
Testing and Quality Control

Each project involves resistance testing for top, bottom, and series coils to
measure insulation and copper characteristics. Surge tests are conducted for
copper wires less than 2mm thick to ensure they meet the necessary standards.

Conclusion:

Coil manufacturing is a complex and precise process involving multiple stages,


from material preparation to final testing, to ensure the production of high-quality
coils for electric motors. Each stage, including looping, pressing, forming, and
taping, is designed to eliminate defects and ensure the mechanical and electrical
integrity of the coils. Testing and quality control measures are critical to
guarantee that the coils will perform reliably in their intended applications. This
attention to detail and adherence to standards ensures that the final product meets
the requirements for efficient and durable motor operation.
UNDERSTANDING OF COIL WINDING

Overview:

The coil winding stage is a critical part of the coil making process and includes
several sub-processes such as coil mounting, spacer insertion, PG taping, surge
testing, and series and phase connection. Each of these steps is essential to ensure
the quality and performance of the final product.

Process Flow:
1. Coil Mounting

The first step in the coil winding stage is coil mounting, which involves inserting
the coils into the slots of the stator. This process includes several key components:

o Process: Coil Insertion: Coils are inserted into the slots using Mylar sheets
and the location of top, bottom and series coil are maintained to ensure
each coil is properly positioned for the motor function.

into the slots, avoid damage to the coils from the slots.
 RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors): Incorporated with the epoxy
and inserted between the coils based on the schematic, RTDs measure the
temperature across the motor.
 Lap Winding: This type of winding involves placing coils in overlapping
layers within the stator slots.

2. Wedging:

Wedges are inserted as the final part at the mounting, wedges secure the coils in
place. The dimensions of the epoxy and wedges are determined by the slots to be
filled.

3. Polyester Glass (PG) binding:

The next step is PG taping, which involves wrapping polyester glass tape around
the outer side of the coil: (like a ring)

 Purpose: This process enhances the mechanical strength of the coil and
prevents any mechanical deformation.
 Application: The tape is applied to ensure the coils remain securely in
place and maintain their shape during operation.
4. Spacers Insertion

After mounting the coils, spacers are inserted between the coil leads to ensure
proper separation and insulation:

 Polyester Cloth: Wrapped around epoxy to avoid the sharp edges of epoxy
to damage the coils.
 Insertion: The spacers are placed between the overhang portion of each
coil at specific distances from the core, ensuring that the coils are properly
spaced and insulated.

5. Intermediate Testing:

There are two stages of testing in the coil winding process. The first stage occurs
before the series and phase connections are made:

the coils to ensure the wall insulation can withstand the operational
voltages.
 IR and DCHV for RTD: Testing the RTDs for insulation resistance and
high voltage to ensure they are functioning correctly.
 IR (Insulation Resistance) Test: Measuring the insulation resistance to
ensure that the destructive test did not damage the coil insulation.

6. Series and Phase Connection

Once the initial testing is complete, the coils are connected in series and phase
connections:

 Brazing: The leads are connected using brazing, following the series and
phase connections outlined in the schematic. Ceramic cloth is used to
protect the overhang portion during brazing.
 Insulation: After making the connections, the joints are insulated using
mica tape to ensure proper insulation and then taped by polyester cloth to
ensure protection and mechanical strength.
 RTD Binding: All RTDs are collected and directed to the RTD terminal.
7. Final Testing:

The second stage of testing is conducted after the series and phase connections
have been made:

 Visual Inspection: Checking the connected coils and leads for any defects
or issues.
 Resistance Test: Measuring the resistance of the coils to ensure they meet
the required specifications.
 IR (Insulation Resistance) Test: Measuring the insulation resistance to
ensure proper insulation
 Surge Test: Conducting another surge test to ensure the integrity of the
connections.
 DCHV (Direct Current High Voltage) Test: Applying a high voltage to
the coils to ensure the wall insulation can withstand the operational
voltages.
 IR (Insulation Resistance) Test: Measuring the insulation resistance to
ensure that the destructive test did not damage the coil insulation.
 Direction of Rotation and Poles Checking: Ensuring the motor rotates in
the correct direction and the poles are correctly aligned.

Conclusion:

Each of these steps in the coil winding stage is critical to ensure the final coils are
of high quality and capable of performing reliably in their intended applications.
The detailed processes and rigorous testing help to maintain the integrity and
functionality of the coils throughout their operational life.
UNDERSTANDING OF VPI

Overview:

The stator assembly process is a series of steps designed to ensure the highest
quality and performance of the final product. Following assembly, the stator
undergoes a pre-heating process to remove residual moisture, crucial for effective
resin impregnation during the Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI) process. The
VPI process involves creating a vacuum to remove air and moisture from the
stator windings, followed by resin flooding and pressure application to ensure
thorough impregnation. The stator is then cured in an oven to harden the resin
and enhance its mechanical properties. Subsequently, cable brazing is performed
to ensure electrical continuity and mechanical strength, followed by the
application of air-drying resin for additional protection. Finally, the stator
undergoes extensive insulation testing, including resistance measurements, high
voltage tests, and dielectric loss evaluations, to ensure it meets all operational
standards.

1. Pre-Heating Process
Process Flow:
 Stator Receiving and Visual Inspection:
 Upon receipt, the stator undergoes a visual inspection to ensure it
meets quality standards. This inspection checks for any visible
defects or damage.
 Loading Stator into Oven:
 After inspection, the stator is loaded into an oven. The purpose of
pre-heating is to remove any residual moisture from the stator core
before it undergoes impregnation with resin.
 Heating Stator:
 The stator is heated for a specific temperature and duration to
effectively remove moisture. This step is crucial as moisture can
negatively impact the impregnation process.
 Cooling to Room Temperature:
 Once heated, the stator is cooled down to room temperature. This
prepares it for the next stage, which is Vacuum Pressure
Impregnation (VPI).

2. VPI (Vacuum Pressure Impregnation) Process


Process Flow:
 Stator to VPI Chamber:
 The stator, now moisture-free, is transferred to the VPI chamber.
This chamber is designed to impregnate the stator windings with
resin under vacuum and pressure.
 Vacuum Creation in Vessel:
 A vacuum is created within the VPI chamber to remove air and
moisture from the stator windings. This step ensures that the resin
can penetrate all voids and gaps effectively.
 Vacuum Hold:
 The vacuum is maintained for a certain amount of time to allow for
complete removal of air and moisture, preparing the windings for
resin impregnation.
 Vacuum Creation at Resin Tank:
 Simultaneously, a vacuum is created in the resin tank to remove air
bubbles from the resin. This ensures that the resin is free from
contaminants that could affect its impregnation properties.
 Resin Flooding to VPI Chamber:
 The resin is flooded into the VPI chamber under vacuum conditions.
This allows the resin to fill all spaces within the stator windings that
were evacuated during the vacuum phase.
 Vacuum Hold in Chamber with Resin:
 Vacuum is maintained in the chamber for an additional amount of
time. This ensures thorough impregnation of the resin into the stator
windings, enhancing electrical insulation properties.
 Pressure Creation in Chamber:
 After the vacuum phase, pressure is applied in the chamber. This
pressure forces the resin deeper into the smallest crevices and voids
within the windings, ensuring complete impregnation.
 Pressure Hold in Chamber:
 The chamber maintains pressure for a certain amount of time. This
extended period ensures that the resin penetrates properly within the
stator windings, providing mechanical stability and enhancing
electrical insulation
 De-pressurization and Resin Return:
 Following the curing phase, the VPI chamber is de-pressurized, and
any excess resin returns to the resin tank for reuse in future
processes.
 Aeration and Stator Shift to Curing Oven:
 The stator undergoes aeration to facilitate the evaporation of residual
solvents and prepare it for the curing process. After aeration, the
stator is shifted to a curing oven.
Working Schematic:
3. Curing Process
Process Flow:

 Stator Received from VPI:


 The stator, now impregnated with resin, is received from the VPI
process. It is prepared for the curing stage to finalize the resin's
hardening and enhance the stator's mechanical properties.
 Loading into Curing Oven:
 The stator is carefully loaded into a curing oven. Proper positioning
ensures uniform heating throughout the stator windings for
consistent resin curing.
 Cleaning Process of Stator Core:
 Before curing, the stator core undergoes a thorough cleaning
process. This step removes any residual resin or contaminants that
could affect the curing process and the final performance of the
stator.
 Heating of VPI Stator:
 The stator is heated for a certain temperature and duration. This
extended heating period ensures complete curing of the resin,
achieving optimal mechanical stability and electrical insulation
properties.
 Post-Cured Stator Cleaning:
 After curing, the stator's surface is cleaned to remove any residues
and ensure a clean, aesthetically pleasing finish. This step also
prepares the stator for final inspection and testing.
 Shift to Quality Area for Quality Check:
 Once cleaned and cured, the stator is transferred to a quality control
area. Here, it undergoes rigorous inspection and testing to ensure it
meets all specified quality standards before further assembly or
deployment.

4. Cable Brazing Process


Process Flow:
 Brazing Connection Between Coil Leads and Cables:
 Connections are brazed between the coil leads and cables. This
ensures electrical continuity and mechanical strength between
different components of the stator assembly.
 Application of Air-Drying Resin:
