Mining
Mining operations rely on power infrastructure capable of performing in demanding surface and underground environments. Federal Pacific, through its Line Power division, engineers custom electrical distribution and control systems specifically designed for the unique power requirements of mining, tunneling, and dredging applications, from power control centers and motor controls to portable substations that move with the operation.
Power Distribution Challenges
Mining and heavy industrial excavation present unique power distribution challenges that require specialized engineering beyond standard industrial equipment.
Operational Mobility
As the mining face or dredging site shifts, power infrastructure must move with it. Skid-mounted and trailer-mounted substations allow rapid relocation without compromising system protection or continuity of power.
Remote Site Deployment
Mining operations are often located far from established infrastructure, requiring factory-assembled, pre-wired equipment that can be commissioned quickly with minimal on-site construction.
Mechanical Durability
Equipment must maintain electrical and structural integrity under the demanding conditions of surface and underground extraction, including constant vibration from heavy machinery.
Custom Load Requirements
Large drives powering conveyors, fans, and extraction equipment create complex load profiles that require purpose-built switchgear and motor controls engineered to the specific demands of each site.
Line Power Engineered Power Systems
Line Power, by Federal Pacific, designs and builds custom electrical distribution and control apparatus for mining and heavy industrial applications. Products are engineered to project specifications and built to perform reliably in the most demanding extraction environments.
Power Distribution
