Selecting the right power system provider is crucial to any successful business. Any prospective supplier must have a proven track record in terms of reliability and quality, as well as a commitment to the industry.
Becker/SMC is a leader in the electrical industry, having invested heavily in electrical equipment. We understand that early engineering decisions and continuous monitoring, as well as predictive analysis from day one, ensure greater system reliability.
Critical Power Systems (CPS)
Profitability losses can be huge when industrial processes fail. These losses can amount to hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars in lost revenue.
Surface Mining
Dragline excavators, the largest mobile machines built to date, are used for surface mining. Overburden is removed from coal seams. Heavy equipment can weigh up to 13,000 tons and is made of a bucket suspended from a boom by wire ropes. An operator controls the hoisting rope and is powered by diesel or electric motors.
Switch Houses
Switch Houses can be designed to handle up to 1200 amps and 27kV.
Standard
Conforms to MSHA and CSA
Junction and Splice Boxes
Becker Mining America’s High Voltage Junction Box can be used to splice cable up to 35kV. Electrical equipment of this type is especially useful for surface and underground mining to repair damaged cables or extend cable length.
Power Substations
Profit losses can be huge when industrial processes fail.
We understand that early engineering decisions, along with continuous monitoring, predictive analysis, and ongoing monitoring, will ensure system reliability.
Custom-built equipment is constructed to meet the most demanding specifications and is tailored to customers’ needs. Becker Mining America also understands that the economy is constantly changing and may create barriers to funding capital equipment. In this instance, we offer our customers the option to rebuild and/or modify their existing equipment, at substantial savings without compromising the functionality, safety, and integrity of their operations.
Capacitor Banks
Metal Enclosed Capacitor Banks: Power Factor correction – Helps reduce your electric bill by increasing efficiency and reducing voltage drops.
A capacitor bank is made up of several identical capacitors connected in parallel or series. These electrical equipment consist of groups of capacitors used to counteract or correct undesirable characteristics such as power factor delays or phase shifts in AC electrical power supplies. In direct current (DC), capacitor banks can be used to improve ripple current and increase the stored energy.
