Electrical Bearing Protection in Mining
Wednesday, March 26, 2025
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EDT
Modern mining is powered by electric motors, which are often controlled by variable frequency drives. This webinar will examine the problem of, and solutions to, electrical bearing damage caused by these drives.
The contents of the webinar include:
- Variable speed/torque applications in mining
- The risk of VFD-sourced shaft voltages, bearing current, and electrical bearing damage
- Bearing frosting, fluting, & failure
- Detection of motor shaft voltages
- Shaft grounding best practices for bearing protection of AC & DC motors
