Both mining and electrical engineers need to bear in mind the following specific requirements of electrical applications in mining. 1) Economy of electrical plant and equipment in relation to the cost price of the extracted mineral ores, governed by the specific exploitation conditions, 2) Reliability of electrical plant and equipment for extractive operations, operational efficiency, and plant and personnel safety. 3) Special safeguards to counteract the additional hazards posed by the use of electric power, and by electrical phenomena in general. The book has been written along these lines, dealing with those topics which highlight the aspects of electrical engineering of relevance for mining engineers and aspects of mining operations that electrical engineers need, to meet the above-mentioned basic requirements governing the introduction and use of electrical plants and systems in mines.This book is intended as a text book and will be of use to students, and colleges as well as to mining and electrical engineers.

Electrotechnology Practice is a practical text that accompanies Hampson/Hanssen’s theoretical Electrical Trade Principles. It covers essential units of competencies in the two key qualifications in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package: - Certificate II in Electrotechnology (Career Start) - Certificate III in Electrotechnology Electrician Aligned with the latest Australian and New Zealand standards, the text references the Wiring Rules (AS/NZS 3000:2018) and follows the uniform structure and system of delivery as recommended by the nationally accredited vocational education and training authorities. More than 1000 illustrations convey to the learner various concepts and real-world aspects of electrical practices, a range of fully worked examples and review questions support student learning, while assessment-style worksheets support the volume of assessment. Electrotechnology Practice has strong coverage of the electives for Cert II and Cert III, preparing students to eligibly sit for the Capstone Assessment or the Licenced Electrician’s Assessment (LEA). as a mandatory requirement to earn an Electrician’s Licence. Premium online teaching and learning tools are available on the MindTap platform.

The chapters of this book discuss the modeling of electric drives, taking into account their relationship with the technological process they serve, which significantly affects the composition, layout, and characteristics of the electric drive. There are no published books of this kind, and this book fills a gap in the literature. This book deals with electric drives for rolling mills, paper machines, a number of several hoisting and transport devices; these installations are very common and very complex, so that modeling methods in their development and study are mandatory. The book focuses on issues such as the transmission of torque by elastic shafts, the transmission of torque by an endless elastic belt in paper machines and conveyors, the transmission of torque by friction of pressed rolls in the paper industry, the consideration of the elastic properties of long ropes in some hoisting and transport machines, and the effect of swinging a moving load in such machines. More than 100 models of the electrical drives that are made with the use of the program environment MATLAB®/Simulink® are appended to this book. The aims of these models are to aid students studying electrical drives of the various manufacturing machines, to facilitate the understanding of various electrical drive functions, and to create a platform for the development of systems by readers in their fields. This book can be used by engineers and investigators as well as undergraduate and graduate students to develop new electrical drives and investigate the existing ones.

Mining engineers or engineers of mining operations are today engaged in mining iron, nonferrous, rare metals, manganese and uranium ores, coal and other nonmetallic minerals. In the current environment, mining enterprises’ sustainability has become a priority and calls for conducting mining operations according to accepted emission limit values and radiation and environmental safety provisions, among other guidelines. This book highlights the problem of ensuring a future mining engineer’s environmental competence.
