According to Luveshen Naidoo, Business Development External Sales Engineer for Mining and Industrial at Zest WEG, this includes a 14MW power plant, motor control centres, WEG MV variable speed drives (VSD), and a WEG 1,200kW MV motor for the mine’s ball mill. To facilitate the dissipation of heat, Zest WEG designed a ducting system for this 1,200kW VSD which will reduce the need for cooling the substation. In putting together its proposals for the client, Zest WEG worked closely with the engineering consultant METC Engineering in the detailed design stage. First-line support for Zest WEG’s equipment will come from Panaco, the company’s Value Added Reseller (VAR) in the DRC. “Our partners at Panaco can generate technical reports to share with Zest WEG to ensure we can provide accurate and necessary specialist support,” he says.
