  • Check out the insane whirr this primary ventilation fan makes on start-up!
    Notice the water coming out of the self closing one way doors on the fan and the doors on the smaller fans flapping open.

    • @Engineer9736
      @Engineer9736 7 років тому +7

      Tera Volt 11kV is very common for mining equipment. So i guess so indeed. With normal household voltages you would need giant cables for 500kW. At 11kV it would use 45 amperes. At 400 volts it would be 1250 amperes.

    • @teravolt1195
      @teravolt1195 7 років тому +1

      Indeed, you still see massive motors on low voltage though, hundreds and hundreds of amps but I guess they must be cheaper due to high voltage insulation expense. In mining though, I doubt expense is an issue hence here it's 11kV. Also makes me wonder about the soft starter. Must be pretty large, massive thyristors too I imagine. I wonder how many kWh is lost in the soft starter each start.
