Mining E-Houses

WEG Container-Type E-houses are designed and manufactured in a modular concept, which provides flexibility to meet the requirements of a wide range of applications.

Assembled in a single platform, the E-house integrates the electrical and control systems of the mining processing plants, therefore the need for costly, permanent structures is avoided. These designs are customized, achieving and surpassing the critical mining needs such as geological vibrations, wind and flame resistance.

Secondary Substations

It replaces traditional concrete fabricated rooms, saving space and time in the assembling process or civil works.
Double wall with thick plate (1.5-2 mm), providing greater toughness and lifting process thru the base.
High quality thermal insulation ensuring power efficiency of the air conditioning system.
Can be installed directly onto material handling machines (stackers, reclaimers, bucket wheel excavators).

Mobile Container-Type E-Houses

Mobile Container-Type E-houses with Wheels equipped with transformers (oil or  dry-type).
Especially designed for Underground Mines with special coating for humid environments and high ore and dust concentration.
Inverters and soft-starters can be installed to start and control fans, pumps, crushers and conveyors.
Higher degree of protection for all panels.

Semi-Mobile Container-Type E-Houses

Semi-mobile: avoid the use of cranes to lift and handle the unit, since rooms can be lifted with mechanical, hydraulic or pneumatic support devices.
Installation directly on the ground; no base is required.
Onboard transformer, dry or oil cooling type;
Special WEG coating resistant to the toughest environment.
The electric rooms can be fitted with fire extinguishing system, access control, CCTV and UPS.
