Littelfuse and Epitron Help Newmont Mining Find Gold MP8000 Motor Protection Relays Protect Newmont’s Water Pumps
■Epitron selected the Littelfuse MP8000 relay, through which Epitron could offer Newmont cost savings, time savings, and greater worker safety.
■Installed in the motor control panels, the MP8000 relays shut down pumps when they run dry. This action prevents pump failure and costly replacement.
■Furthermore, maintenance workers can remotely access the MP8000 via its Ethernet connection to obtain information on a fault in advance of visiting the pump location. This saves time because workers know what parts to bring.
■On location, maintenance workers can communicate with the MP8000 using the Bluetooth smart-phone application, avoiding the need to open the high-power motor control panel. This way, workers avoid exposure to shock and arc-flash hazards and avoid the need to put on PPE.
■Epitron has designed the MP8000 and SE-105 relays into all new motor control panels that this mine requires and is retrofitting the MP8000 into existing motor control panels throughout the mine.
■“We could not be happier with the assistance we received from Littelfuse. They helped us understand how the MP8000 relay could solve Newmont’s costly pump failures. The MP8000, with its Bluetooth communication link and its app, enabled Newmont to reduce its operating costs and improve worker safety. The MP8000 gives us a competitive advantage over other motor control panel manufacturers” said Jethro Skwarok, General Manager of Epitron.
■Littelfuse innovation and technical support helped reduce costs and improve safety... and find gold.
