Vacuum pressure impregnation (VPI) of the
complete winding system gives it the strength
necessary to meet all the mechanical and
electrical stresses encountered during
operation. This strength, combined with the
rigid construction of the rotor with salient
poles, makes AMG marine generators the
most reliable on the market.
