The modernisation project involves replacement of the power semiconductors for the stator and excitation as well as the installation of new control units for operating the synchronous motor of the main drive. This solution will enable specific components to be replaced while minimising the risk involved in the refurbishment. The drive components will be subjected to a system test and the interfaces will be tested in the plant’s switch gear room during the refurbishment-related stand still in December 2020. Primetals has modernised more than 40 cycloconverters in the last few years. A major factor in Primetals winning this order was its know-how and experience in replacing systems and the certainty that brings in terms of the company’s ability to deliver a project in line with customer expectations.
