Irrigation pumping, whether for Commercial purposes such as Golf Courses, Municipal purposes such as Landscape beautification or Agricultural purposes such as Vegetable farming or Grape growing represents a large area of motor use and as such Motor Starting and Control equipment are necessary.
Water supply pumping
Whether the source for a supply of water lies above or below ground level, Pumps are almost invariably necessary to move the water to where it is to be used or stored for use.
Types of pumps used for water movement are many and varied; the following types being most commonly used:
- Single stage Centrifugal
- Multi stage Centrifugal
- Submersible
- Line shaft Turbine
Here at James Reid Electrical our Design Staff are very experienced in the various types of starting, protection and control equipment used for water supply pumping plants.
Mining Pumping
- Crushing & Milling Plant.
- Processing Plant
- Hoisting & Winching
- Shaft de-watering pumps.
- Workface de-watering pumps.
- Inflow sump discharge pumps.
- Process water supply pumps.
- Process pumps.
- Tailings and tailings return pumps.
Additionally heavy power distribution is required (often at High Voltages) to supply ventilation, Lighting and Air Compression Machinery.
Power generation control switchboards
Control panels for Power Generation plant are a very specialised area of switchboard manufacture. These control panels comprise of operator interface equipment such as manual control and selection devices, instrumentation, metering, fault status displays and sophisticated machine control PLC's, load sharing and engine governing equipment.
Air Handling
Air handling switchboards and motor starters are a specialised area of underground mining electrical systems. A reliable supply of fresh air to personnel and equipment in an underground mining operation is of critical importance as equipment failure can endanger life.
