Mining & minerals
Fulfilling the requirements of all mining & minerals processing applications with a single product family

Strong experience in Mining & Minerals
Vacon AC drives are robust to handle your most demanding requirements from simple ventilation to the most complex load sharing of high-power, regenerative conveyor and plant systems. Vacon’s long and versatile experience of AC drives guarantees the desired results and complete customer satisfaction.

Robust drives technology
Vacon AC drives technology is designed to fulfill the requirements of all Mining & Minerals processing applications with a single product family. The Vacon AC drive product line ranges from 0.25 kW to 5 MW, with supply voltages up to 690 V. Medium voltages can also be achieved by the use of step-down and step-up transformer solutions.

Step-down step-up
Solutions for MV motors

Vacon has introduced a perfect solution for controlling medium voltage AC drives with low voltage frequency converters and standard transformers.

Frequency converters designed for medium voltage motors (3.6, 6 or 10 kV) are typically expensive and need a lot of space for assembly. In addition, there are few medium voltage drives available for lower power ratings such as 250 or 800 kW. Still, motors with those power ratings are fairly common in water and wastewater plants; also district heating plants use these for the main feeder pumps.

Controlling the flow by throttle is inefficient. A more efficient alternative is available: adjusting the speed of the motor by changing the supply frequency. The Vacon solution builds on the use of low voltage frequency converters and standard transformers. The transformers can be of dry-type e.g. cast resin or vacuum die cast or of oil-immersed type.
