Minesite Power Utilisation & Control
World’s best practice Arc Fault contained
systems including:
 MCCs for 400V and 690V
 VSDs from 400V to 6.6kV to 100MW
 Multi-Drives / Liquid cooled
 System wide control, monitoring and
management integration platform
 Load flow analysis, fault management and
earthing studies and design
 E-Room Layout and design

Arc fault safety in MV drives
Arc faults can cause most severe
danger for personal

MV Drives Requirements:

Standards


(MV) drives specific standards
partly address arc faults,

Extremely low probability of
occurrence
Standards are based on the
principle arc fault prevention

ABB field experience:
IEC and NEMA do not require arc
fault resistant panels
Therefore ABB recommends to
use IEC 62271-200 for arc fault
testing.

17. Optimised Solutions for Power and Control in mines
Electrification in mining requires an holistic approach
 Safety: must be thought of in the concepts designs
stage
 Productivity: comes with Arc Fault Containment,
Isolation Procedures, Remote Switching, Visible
Earthing,
 Management and control of the power system and
mining processes
 Optimisation and integration
 Efficiency, reliability and maintainability
