The Challenge
Challenge at Families: Families and businesses across the Western plains rely on energy that originates from a coal mine in Wyoming. Every year the mine delivers roughly six million tons of coal by train to member utilities
The Solution
Allen‑Bradley® PowerFlex® 7000 variable frequency drives installed to reduce energy consumption and improve uptime Allen‑Bradley PowerMonitor power meters help monitor real-time energy usage and savings
Results
Saved an estimated $3,000 per month by controlling motors with variable frequency drives Reduced maintenance costs compared to previous system Reduced energy consumption has resulted in a more sustainable mining operation
Key Takeaways
- Saved an estimated $3,000 per month by controlling motors with variable frequency drives
