Mining Electrification
Mining operations across Australia are rapidly transitioning toward electrification as part of a broader push to reduce emissions, improve operational efficiency, and enhance long-term sustainability. With remote mine locations, harsh environmental conditions, and heavy electrical loads, mining sites demand specialised electrical infrastructure that is both extremely reliable and engineered for continuous operation. Electrification also enables the integration of renewable energy sources and modern storage systems, helping mines lower diesel dependency, stabilise power supply, and operate more safely and economically.
Our mining electrification solutions are built to support large-scale, mission-critical applications—from underground equipment and processing plants to haul truck charging, microgrids, and remote substations—ensuring seamless and uninterrupted power across the entire mining ecosystem.
Our Solutions
Medium Voltage (MV) Systems
MV Switchgear (12 to 40.5 kV):
Provides reliable switching, protection, and distribution of electrical power across both surface and underground networks. Designed to withstand dust, vibration, and temperature extremes common in mining environments, ensuring maximum operator safety and minimal downtime.
Power Transformers (10 to 66 kV):
Essential for stepping up or stepping down voltage between on-site substations, processing plants, generators, and grid connections. These transformers offer high thermal efficiency and mechanical strength, ensuring stable power transmission even during peak operational loads.
Reactors & Capacitors (10 to 66 kV):
Improve overall power quality by managing voltage fluctuations, compensating for reactive power, and enhancing network stability. Particularly useful in sites where heavy machinery causes sudden load variations.
Substation Automation Systems (10 to 35 kV):
Allow remote monitoring, intelligent fault detection, real-time performance analytics, and automated control. These systems increase operational visibility and help reduce unplanned outages through predictive maintenance.
Low Voltage (LV) Components
LV Switch-Disconnectors and Fuse-Combination Units:
Provide safe isolation and circuit protection for essential equipment such as ventilation systems, pumps, crushers, conveyors, and drilling machinery. Designed for rugged usage and fast replacement to keep operations running smoothly.
Motor Control & Protection Devices:
Support the stable operation of critical rotating equipment across processing, material handling, and utility systems. Ensures motors are protected against overloads, short circuits, and voltage imbalance—reducing failure rates and improving operational lifespan.
Energy Storage Solutions
Commercial & Industrial Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS):
Enable mines to shift loads during peak demand, stabilise their internal microgrids, and maintain backup power during outages or generator failures. Ideal for integrating renewable energy sources like solar or wind, reducing fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions.
Super Capacitors (EDLC / HUC / CAP):
Provide instant power delivery and rapid charge-discharge cycles, making them suitable for voltage support, emergency ride-through, and stabilisation of sensitive equipment. Highly effective in environments where fast response is critical.
