Taipei, Taiwan – 101 Water Pumps for the building industry
The world's tallest building, at 508 meters, populated by thousands of people at any given time, has to pump water to each of its 101 floors. 101 RVS-DN Soft-starters soft-start and soft-stop these pump motors.
Kahama Gold Mine, Tanzania - Driving Critical Ventilation fan
Considered to be Tanzania's largest underground mining investment, Vector Drive Contracting of Canada specified Solcons' medium voltage soft-starters for the fresh air ventilation fans of this massive underground mining venture.
Norilsk, Russia – Mining Application
The Solcon Soft-starter with its multistart application was the ideal solution for this application. The HRVS-DN line-up is built in a Multi-Start arrangement, starting each of the 4 synchronous motors sequentially. One soft-starter for four motors saves precious space, engineering, construction, and installation costs.
Monterry, Mexico – Water Pumps
The City of Monterrey is situated 2000 meters above sea level. Supplying water to the city requires many booster pumps operating randomly to keep the water pressure at a suitable level.
Asphalt Plant - Driving "Jaw" type Rock Crusher
The flywheel driving this open rock crusher requires 60 seconds to achieve maximum speed. Due to the remote location of this quarry, power is supplied by a local generator incapable of supplying starting current greater than 3 times the nominal current.
Cherepovetz Russia, Severstahl Steel factory - 3 Fan Multi-start
The Solcon Soft-starter with its multi-start application was the ideal solution for this application. The HRVS-DN line-up is built in a Multi-Start arrangement, starting each of the 3 synchronous motors sequentially. One soft-starter for three motors saves precious space, engineering, construction, and installation costs.
Codelco, Chile - Open Cooper Mine
This copper mine is situated 3000 meters above sea level in the Calama desert. Supplying water in general and to this altitude in particular requires powerful pumping capability, derating multipliers, and the advanced soft-starting ability of Solcon.
