FLAMEPROOF MULTICONTACT STATION

MCA-W-1/2/0/c/1/A5/M

Flameproof multicontactor station type MCA-W is an energy distribution device designed for underground mining, to switching, protecting and control of electric drives of machines, supplied from three-phase alternating current network with voltage 6000VAC.

Station type MCA-W-1/2/0/c/1/A5/M is equipped with a thyristor block ensuring a soft start of the powered motors and bypass contactors for a direct start of the powered motor. Used mechanical locks electronic protection relays and controllers, ensure safe control of supplied mining devices. The station is equipped with buttons for parameter adjustment and local control as well as digital data transmission interface for remote control and data transmission with external system.

Flameproof multicontactor station type MCA-W was developed according to 2014/34/UE directive requirements and is intended for operation in underground excavations in potentially explosive atmospheres with methane and/or coal dust explosionhazard.

SYNCHRONISM OF DEVICE

The main equipment: soft starter power modules, soft starter control modules, control Contactor, Contactor, cabinets, explosion-proof chamber cover ensuring synchronization in installation, correction.

CABINET STRUCTURE

Whole apparatus and devices being part of the flameproof multicontactor station are installed in flame-proof enclosure. Flameproof station enclosure is a single block placed on transport skids. External power supply and output cables are led to the enclosure trough flameproof cable glands. Separate flameproof chambers are electrically connected to each other with flameproof porcelain isolators and suitable cable glands to ensure isolation against moisture.

Main apparatus chamber of the station includes following equipment: 01 softstart controller and thyristor bloc, 01 contactor for thyristor module, 02 contactors to select start motor, 02 bypass contactors, measurement voltage transformer, auxiliary control transformer, uniterruptible power supply and control system with starter mode selection and independent protection relays for each output.

MANUFACTURER STANARD

ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001: 2015 for the scope of: development, manufacture, repair and sale of electrical equipment with the purpose of operation and use in potentially explosive areas.

CONTROLFUNCTIONS

Startup feature

Voltage and torque limits, current adjusts automatically.

Range of the initial voltage adjustmentat startup

0% ÷ 100% rated voltage

Start-upshock

From 0% – 90% of maximum motor torque, within 2s

LCD display
Display working parameters, error warning, save error history …
combine LEDs showing the operating status of the soft starter, save the nearest problem.

Two boot mode options
+ Stepless soft start mode,
+ Direct start mode can be switched when soft start occurs error (bypass start with contactor) through the switch outside the cabinet.

Twooperating control mode options
Operational control options can be selected either locally (on the cabinet) or remotely (control panel).:
– On-site operation: button at cabinet – Remote operation

Adjust the starting current of the motor

Allow installation to expand 2-5 times the rated current.

ControlIsolation
