Electrical Engineering

Applying control technology to automated machinery needs a range of technical skills. Good electrical engineering ensures it’s safety, reliability and longevity.

Our engineers design control systems with electrical and electronic equipment switching and controlling powers rated from milli-watts to megawatts. In the work we undertake the consequences of poor electrical engineering can be catastrophic. To ensure the high quality of engineering that is necessary we operate a design procedure regime that ensures good engineering practise on every project and encourages our engineers to be disciplined both technically and procedurally. With competent peer checking mechanisms and pre-approved component sizing techniques we guarantee our designs are good.

Using EN60204-1 design standards means that clients get consistency in there interfaces and documentation. If however our clients have their own site or corporate engineering standards we readily accommodate them.

Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Drive Technology from Optima

The innovative sinamics G220 variable frequency drive from Siemens not only helps reduce harmonics (Gary Wilcock) but is also a more sustainable drive choice. Let us explain.

The animation below shows the draft panel layouts for 8 drives using the G120 drives along with the required input and output reactors due to the long cable lengths involved for this installation. 

Shown on the right of the animation is the draft layout using the new G220 drives.

The new G220 drives, allow us to accommodate double the number of drives in one cabinet as no chokes are required.

SINAMICS G220 – the variable frequency drive for all industries

It has helped Optima Control Solutions Ltd make this a more sustainable design. 

Not only have we have reduced CO2 emissions in transit as the cabinet is lighter, we have also reduced the amount of minerals required to build by avoiding additional copper in the line chokes and steel in the chokes and cabinets.

The fusing for the other 8 drives has been moved to an adjacent cabinet where there are other drive sizes located. The control panel build is now underway. 

A big thanks to Ben Poole, too for his timely demonstration of these excellent drives. Sustainability CleanTech
