This machine is an 800 volt dc 7000 hp(the main hoist is a smaller 5000 hp unit I goofed...) 8 pole shunt machine that turns at 50 rpm powered by two GE silpac drives in tandem. For stoning we reduced the speed to 12 rpm and limited the current too 200 amps (thats as low as the drives would allow lol!)
FWI:
There have been some questions around here about 6 phase power. This machine is running on rectified 6 phase produced by a little transformer trickery. The master drive and slave drive are powered from a transformer with two secondary windings. The master is feed from a Y and the slave from a delta. This alows for smoother opperation with less AC chop...
I got the call last night at 8:00pm to reassemble the brush packs. Stoning was completed at 9:00pm and this afternoon the machine is back in service. More photos to come.....
