National Electric Coil

Automated taping machines speed manufacture with the simultaneous application of multiple layers of groundwall insulation.

Heated hydraulic cure presses fitted with tooling that
is unique to each winding design.

A dummy core check is done several times during
manufacturing to assure proper fit and alignment.
Shown in this dummy core are inner liquid-cooled
stator bars.

NEC High Voltage Stator Winding Products

Well-known as the world leader, NEC has over 11,500 square meters of manufacturing space dedicated to high voltage coils and bars. As part of its service, NEC redesigns windings for machines of any OEM design or vintage. This includes stator windings of all types for units up to and exceeding 1000 MW. NEC’s stator winding products range from diamond coils and Roëbel bars to the most sophisticated direct-cooled bars, including both inner liquid- and gas-cooled types. NEC also specializes in the manufacture of windings for “legacy” or discontinued brands. Currently NEC produces over 15,000 stator coils a year under an ISO 9001:2000 certified quality management system.
