DAFA-35
liquid starter

The new liquid starter design for mining industry – It already received the CSA label and will be used at ArcelorMittal site in Canada. This one has a unique design as a dual LRS but build in one tank. Dual application Mill drives operate through a reduction gear unit and cannot be coupled electrically due to the mechanical coupling of the grinder. With a MKS dual liquid resistance starter design, every motor operating in parallel has its own electrode system that prevents large overloads from occurring in the drive or in the mill gearing. The highest levels of precision are achieved for the resistance values by keeping both electrode systems synchronised and by maintaining a constant electrolyte temperature and concentration. As both electrodes systems installtion is in one tank, those will be drive by only one drive and controlled by the same limit switch. All features above guarantee that both mill drives will be started and shorted with exactly identical resistance.
