Hot Circuit Detector

Benefits

  • Protects miners from uncoupling live circuits
  • Protects mine motors from damage due to reverse sequence or single phase conditions
  • Maximizes mine production Features
  • Redundant phase voltage indication
  • Phase rotation indication (ABC OR CBA)
  • Loss of phase function trips the circuit
  • Reverse rotation function trips the circuit
  • Panel or coupler mounted
  • Self powered

Description

Becker Mining America designed the Hot Circuit Detector to protect the miner, prevent motor damage and maximize production. Malfunctions such as a stuck contactor bottle or stuck mechanical contact can leave the motor circuit energized, undetected by the mine electrician. Another anomaly is when a bottle or contact

The device benefits the mine by providing indication and contactor/circuit breaker control when the voltage and/or phase rotation are not correct. The Hot Circuit Detector indicates that all phases are present, or if one or more phases are lost, it indicates which of the phases are missing and can trip out the circuit. It also allows quick and easy determination of phase sequence (either ABC or CBA), and if reverse sequence can trip the circuit

The unit is available in 120vac or 480vac and can be configured with intermediate devices to monitor voltages up to 38KV. The unit is also available with a 240vac, 10amp normally open contact or fail safe contact. Note that fusing should be incorporated as required by MSHA.
