This position is responsible for winding simple to moderate coils used in Sunbelt-Solomon Solutions transformers according to winding specifications produced by the Engineering Department.
Complete the following actions per winding design/build sheets:Select type and size of wire specified for primary and secondary windings of coil to be wound.Creates appropriate form and loads form onto winding machine.Threads end of wire from reel through tension device, guides, and spreader, bends wire ends to form lead and attaches lead to coil source.Set machine controls to adjust tension on wire and counter is correct.Starts machine and manually feeds wire over coil form to obtain even and uniform winding and shape of coil.Monitor turns counter and stop machine at specified number of turns.Wraps insulation between layers and around wound coil or inserts ducts between turns to form cooling ducts as specified on winding design.Cuts wire to form leads.Form coils with rubber or plastic mallet to maintain shape during winding.Strips insulation from end of lead wires, threads lead wires through insulating sleeves or slides sleeves over leads and solders lead wires to terminals as determined in winding spec.Interface with companys time and attendance software to record time spent working on individual jobs.Tests coils for winding continuity as required.
