From left to right: ore conveyor and sag mill An optimum solution every time Regardless of the task, Siemens has the optimum solution. We have the widest converter technologies portfolio on the market everything from cycloconverters and currentsource DC links to voltage-source 3-level DC link, modular multi-level and cell-based converters. Together with our extensive expertise, we can support you in finding an optimum solution for all your application needs. Serving low speed and high torque applications Widely used for rugged applications, the SL150 cycloconverter is ideally suited for powering mine winders, conveyors, grinding mills, and excavators. In addition to its broad use in the mining industry, it can also be found in other industries for applications such as rolling mills. No drive manufactured today is perfect for every application, so it is important to identify the drive that best meets your specification, performance and reliability requirements. When it comes to finding the right drive for key mining applications where low speed and high torque requirements exist, especially at high altitudes, the SL150 provides the best overall reliability and performance possible. Industry longevity Competitors will always challenge the age of the drives technology. However, after 3-plus decades of innovation, no competitor can offer the same proven capacity for reliability that this drive continues to demonstrate in mining applications all over the world. Siemens has continually innovated its cycloconverter controllers from the early analog SIMADYN C to the first digital SIMADYN D product family and the most recent groundbreaking controllers. Incorporating widely used standard components, the cycloconverter drive requires no special boards. All in all, the SL150 makes for a convincing equation for our customers: Reliability + Ruggedness + Service friendliness + Spare parts availability = Maximum availability 99.5% * system availability * Preventive and corrective maintenance taken into consideration. 3
The formula for maximum availability reliability, ruggedness, service friendliness and lifecycle support With its direct power conversion from three line phases to one motor phase, the simple principle of the Siemens cycloconverter forms the basis for reliability, ruggedness, service friendliness and lifecycle support the formula for maximum availability. Top marks for reliability and ruggedness SL150 technology has proven itself in the field under the most exacting conditions. Customers offer the best proof, frequently noting their failure-free reliability and ruggedness. Reliability Fewest drive components for any given power rating: >10 MVA with just 36 thyristors, no DC link components High MTBF, even without further redundancy measures Extremely low risk of 2-pole short circuit Ruggedness Air-cooled up to 20 MVA, water-cooled up to 40 MVA Proven operation at very high altitudes Generates almost no shaft voltage and bearing currents Use of standard HV cable due to the typical low switching speed of thyristors (no screened or armored cables required) The stator current is almost sinusoidal Very dust- and humidity-resistant thanks to internal air cooling and overall low-voltage level Optimal for use with both synchronous and induction motors 4
Extremely reliable control system featuring proven software and hardware, as well as extensive control and configuration of your drive systems in challenging mining applications. Service friendliness Integrated test routines to support drive commissioning and controller tuning Fast fault diagnostics using an extensive, detailed messaging system with trace memory Fault touch display at the controller panel Feedback diagnostics of the individual thyristors allows extensive self-diagnostic functions Easy to repair good accessibility to all components all components can be exchanged separately (thyristor in less than 15 minutes) with standard tools requires no lifting device because there are no heavy parts Remote diagnostics via secure Internet for fast service support (optional) Low component variety to reduce capital investment and associated costs for storage and logistics Long availability of all components Lifecycle support for SL150 Our worldwide service covers the entire lifecycle of SL150 cycloconverters, from commissioning to retrofit or modernization of the whole system.
