    different voltage systems

    Our Paper plant uses 380 V for LV distribution. We have recently purchased a second hand Paper Mill from Australia where Power distribution was 11 KV, 3.3KV and 415 V. The total plant load was 15 MW. In all 30 Transformers 11KV/415V and 1000 motors will be installed in this Plant. Changing to...

    Data Loger

    I am looking for a Data Logger cum Recorder for our analogue DC drives with the dual purpose of fault locating by history recording (trigger based?) as well as tuning by high speed paper / paperless recording. I have used Yokogawa OR100 series Oscilloscope and DARWIN PC based loggers. What is...

    Yankee rebuild

    An old Yankee tissue machine requires revamp from DC to AC drives. Due to lack of time and space it is proposed to use individual AC feeders and a common PLC, instead of a common DC bus. Total 15 motors 6x100kW, 9x34kW. What are advantage / disadvantage

    Drive revamp

    3 Wire Paper machine, 500mpm(max) uses analogue sectional DC drives & PLC for draw control. It is required to do away with the PLC and speed regulator due to lack of spares. A new PLC will handle draw, HMI, AND speed regulation. Tacho is 300 ppr for 1500rpm motor. Is speed regulation of 0.3mpm...

    Rotor for DC Motor

    We have many spare Rotors in good condition for our DC Motors but there is no tag or any information about them. Most rotors have been identified by dimensions. There is one rotor that fits in 100kW / 1750 & 1150 rpm motor as well as 75 kW / 1750 rpm motor. Is this rotor freely interchangeable...

    Series winding

    A separately excited 185 kW DC motor has an optional series winding. Manufacturer says it is to be used to enhance speed regulation in a Master application and speed drooping in a slave, but only when both motors are fed from one converter, otherwise there is no distinction. In single drive...

    Line Shaft Drive for Paper Machine

    DC Motor running a paper machine line shaft is 185Kw,400V,490A,1150rpm. Normal running data is 380VDC,320A,1000rpm. It was replaced by 167KW,400V,449A,1750rpm. Amps reached to 450 at only 500rpm. Motor drive pulley dia was reduced and rpm could be raised to 800 at full load. A day later someone...
