Safety Hazards? Not on our watch! GIC’s ELR makes Stone Crushing Machines Safer
Introduction
Enhancing safety and efficiency in cement manufacturing, GIC’s Digital ELR (17K716QF4N) with CBCT finds a crucial application in the Motor Control Centre (MCC) panels of stone crushing machines With the demand for cement soaring, the cement plant’s raw material crushing process becomes a pivotal point in its operations. GIC’s cutting-edge solution steps in to address the challenges that arise during this critical phase, ensuring seamless and secure operations.
Challenges
Operating in a high-stakes environment, cement plants face significant hazards and health risks, including electrical short circuits, fires, and potential tripping of the entire power supply. These threats not only hampered production but also posed a grave risk to the safety of workers on-site. The detection of ground fault currents before they could lead to harm became a pressing need for the plant’s operational continuity and the protection of human lives and machinery.
Solution
GIC’s Digital ELR with CBCT was successfully installed at various cement manufacturing plants across the country, empowering their stone-crushing machines with superior safety measures. The implementation has resulted in a safer and more productive cement manufacturing process, showcasing the effectiveness and value of GIC’s advanced electrical protection solutions.
GIC’s Digital ELR offered an intelligent and comprehensive solution to mitigate the challenges faced during the cement plant’s material crushing process. Continuously monitoring and displaying leakage current in the electrical system, the ELR allowed for the flexibility to set leakage current levels from 30mA to 30A based on specific application requirements. The incorporation of core balance current transformer (CBCTs) further enhanced its efficiency, enabling the passage of conductors of any size.
In the event of an earth fault occurrence, the ELR instantly detects it and activates the trip coil of MCCB/ACB/OCB/Contactor, promptly isolating the electrical power system. This rapid response mechanism significantly reduced the risk of electrical accidents, protecting both workers and valuable assets within the plant.
