Optimizing Electrical Infrastructure In Mining

In oil, gas, and mining sectors, electrical reliability is non-negotiable. Yet, many operators still rely on periodic thermographic inspections to monitor critical infrastructure like Motor Control Centers (MCCs).

While these inspections provide momentary thermal snapshots, they fall short in addressing the real risks:

  • Faults occur between inspection cycles, often going undetected until failure.
  • Technicians are exposed to live equipment, increasing safety hazards.
  • Rear drawers contact areas, common fault origins, are difficult to inspect and impossible to access for inspection without de-energizing (especially in-drawers).
  • Reactive maintenance leads to unplanned outages, costly repairs, and operational delays.

These pain points are not isolated but systemic across industries that rely on constant uninterrupted power supply.

As assets age and operational demands grow, the need for smarter, safer, and more scalable monitoring solutions becomes increasingly urgent.

The Shift Toward Predictive Monitoring

To overcome challenges, leading operators are turning to Continuous Thermal Monitoring (CTM). This approach uses “fit and forget” sensors to deliver real-time visibility into electrical connections, without the need to open live panels or wait for a planned downtime to conduct maintenance practices like thermography surveys. This approach enables:

Retrofitting MCCs

For many operators, retrofitting existing MCCs with CTM is a practical and scalable solution. It allows them to modernize without replacing entire systems, and to standardize monitoring across diverse sites and equipment types.

 

A major mining company relied on other monitoring technologies and periodic maintenance, but both approaches proved ineffective in detecting potential failures until installing CTM sensors.. The installation of our CTM solutions provided enhanced safety, reduced downtime, and a standardized approach paving the way for future projects.
