What types of electrical systems can be used in mining sites?

In this list, we will take a look at a couple of different electrical system types that can be used in an array of mining sites and projects from surface to deep underground mines. Mining power centers, also known as Load Centers. They convert a large amount of electricity to a lower voltage output.

Why do mining companies need power plants?

The fact that we own, install and operate our power plants helps mining companies avoid long-term capital investments in permanent generating capacity and allows mining operations to focus on their core business.

What are the benefits of mining power centers?

Improved Safety: Mining power centers protect miners and equipment from electrical hazards. With advanced safety features, such as ground fault protection, arc flash protection, and thermal overload protection. Environmentally Friendly: Mining power centers are designed to be energy-efficient, reducing the fuel required to power mining equipment.

Why is electricity important in mining?

With the movement from diesel-powered to more electric mining equipment and tools in today’s mining world, the importance of electricity on a mine site has never been more vital. From the drilling process to hauling, to the processing of everything mined, electrical power runs it all.

What is a mining power center?

Mining power centers, also known as Load Centers. They convert a large amount of electricity to a lower voltage output. These centers are durable and reliable, meeting all mine-use safety requirements. They can handle inputs of 5 to 25 kilovolts, and deliver an output between 480-1,000 volts.

What is electric mining equipment?

Electric mining equipment refers to machinery and vehicles powered by electricity instead of traditional fossil fuels such as diesel.
