Turnkey Project
15 January 2013
A steel casting plant in Rotherham is to save £250,000 a year following the installation of ABB variable-speed drives on its fume extraction system.

Completed by ABB system integrator Drives and Automation for Tata Steel, the project was carried out at the Aldwarke Bloom Caster complex in Rotherhame. Drives and Automation replaced existing fixed speed direct-on-line motors in the plant with low voltage motors ,controlled by four ABB low harmonic variable-speed drives, two at 400kW and two at 570kW. The turnkey project included the supply of transformers, a Form 4 distribution panel, inverter cubicles, electrical and mechanical installation, plant room ventilation and integration of a PLC/SCADA with the existing plant control system.
