The importance of electrical infrastructures in mining

Electrical areas are essential for the proper operation of heavy equipment, ventilation systems, material transport and automated process control. Without a robust and safe electrical infrastructure, the continuity of mining operations would be severely compromised.

Energy Storage Systems (BESS): An Efficient Solution for the Energy Future

Energy storage systems (BESS) are technologies designed to capture and store energy from different sources, such as solar, wind, or from the power grid, for later use. This storage capacity is critical to balancing energy supply and demand, improving grid stability, and facilitating the integration of renewable energy sources.

Exploring the Causes of the Suviana Incident

On April 9, an explosion was recorded at the facilities of a hydroelectric plant in the Italian reservoir of Lake Suviana (Bologna), resulting in seven fatalities and five injuries. In today's article, we will analyze some aspects that could have contributed to this outcome, based on the available information

ELECTROMOBILITY TODAY: FROM PURE ELECTRIC TO MILD HYBRID (48V) VEHICLES

In today's article, we review the different types of electric and hybrid vehicles that dominate the electromobility market today, and the type of maintenance that each of them requires.

Electric Vehicle Charging Facilities – A Key Element in Electric Mobility

Electric vehicles (EVs) are gaining traction in the world of sustainable mobility, and with their rise in popularity, comes the need for efficient charging infrastructures. Electric vehicle charging facilities play a crucial role in the transition to cleaner and more sustainable mobility. In this article, we will explore what these installations are, the types that exist, how to carry out the necessary maintenance, and what tools and means we recommend from EGA Master.

What is the IEC 60900 standard and why it is important in the use of industrial tools in environments with electrical voltage

The IEC 60900 standard is an international standard that establishes the requirements that isolated hand tools must meet for work in voltage up to 1,000 V in alternating current and 1,500 V in direct current.

Synchronous and asynchronous motors, how are they different?

A couple of weeks ago, we were talking about titanium tools as a safe means of working safely in environments where high magnetic fields exist. Among the places we mentioned in the previous post was synchronous motors. But what are synchronous motors? And how are they different from asynchronous? Read on:

Photovoltaic installations, types, and maintenance and safety measures

Depending on the type of installation to be built, as well as its application, either a single panel or a group of them that are electrically connected can be used

What are the components of a Solar Photovoltaic Installation connected to the grid?

A photovoltaic installation connected to the grid consists solely of photovoltaic modules (or solar panels) and inverters. Not so the autonomous photovoltaic installations where, in general, the storage battery and its respective charge regulator must be added.

The EGA Group Solutions For The Electric Vehicle

We have already seen how the electrification of road transport is gaining more presence in everyday life, from the technical improvements that have been made, and how the legislation is encouraging us to follow that path. We have also explained a bit how the EV maintenance and repair operations should be carried out. Today, we want to show you how we have prepared from the EGA Group to offer solutions in safety and efficiency for the tasks that involve the electric car.
