The Hazards Our Equipment Protects

The mining industry presents a range of hazards to workers and equipment, making it crucial to have reliable and safe electrical systems.

Explosion-Proof Equipment

Explosion-proof equipment is designed to prevent the ignition of flammable gases, dust, or fibers, which can be present in mining operations. These types of equipment are typically used in areas with a high risk of explosion, such as underground mines and processing plants. Explosion-proof equipment can include lighting fixtures, electrical enclosures, motors, and switches. Using explosion-proof equipment minimizes the risk of fire or explosion, protecting both workers and equipment.

Transformers

Transformers are another critical component in electrical mining systems. They are used to step up or down a voltage to meet the requirements of various equipment and systems. In addition to their voltage regulation function, transformers can be designed with explosion-proof features to protect against hazardous conditions. Transformers are often used in mining operations to power conveyors, drills, and other equipment.

Arc Guards

Arc guards protect electrical systems against arc flashes, which can occur when there is a sudden release of energy due to a fault in the system. These faults can cause extreme temperatures and pressures, leading to fires, explosions, and severe burns. Arc guards are typically installed on circuit breakers and other electrical equipment to prevent arc flash incidents, protecting workers and equipment.

Longwall Electrical System

Longwall electrical systems are used in underground mining operations to power machinery and equipment to extract minerals. These systems typically include transformers, switchgear, and control systems. Longwall electrical systems must be designed with safety in mind, as they are often used in hazardous environments with a high risk of fire or explosion.

Capacitor Trip Device

Capacitor trip devices are safety devices that can help prevent electrical equipment from overheating or failing due to power surges. These devices work by monitoring the electrical system for abnormal conditions and automatically tripping the system if necessary. Capacitor trip devices are typically used in mining operations to protect equipment such as motors, pumps, and conveyors.

Portable Substation

Portable substations are compact, mobile electrical systems that can provide power to remote mining sites. They are often used in areas without a grid connection or where a temporary power supply is needed. Portable substations can be designed with various safety features, including explosion-proof enclosures, ground fault protection, and surge protection.

Through the extensive testing that we can offer in this industry, any components that we produce are compatible with NEMA, NFPA, IEE and MSHA. Making sure that we can meet and exceed standard codes means having a crack team of QA experts and design professionals. We rigorously test every product that we produce and we are constantly innovating our designs to make sure that we can offer new and efficient solutions for our clients.

If you’ve been seeking a mining electrical company that can assist in your industry and offer you efficient solutions, we can be the innovative team to work with you. With a number of our components being pre assembled on-site, we can work at saving you time. Our craftsmanship and quality of service will ensure that you can experience the maximum amount of uptime and that feel extremely secure with the products that we have created. We understand that losses can be difficult in this industry and the smallest amount of downtime can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in unmined material.
