Power Distribution Underground Power DistributionWe’re industry leaders in the design and manufacture of underground power distribution systems and equipment.

Our safe and flexible power distribution systems are highly reliable and designed specifically for demanding environments. Our solutions include:

� Jumbo boxes

� Starters

� Substations

� Distribution boards

� Relocatable and modular switchrooms

� Power quality solutions and voltage stabilisation systems

� Resistive load banks

� High voltage cables

� Neutral Earthing Resistors

Rockstarter - Multifunction Outlet Starter Ampcontrol’s Rockstarter is a multifunction outlet starter designed for use in underground hard rock mining.

Rockstarter is a completely integrated solution providing a versatile standardised starter.

Rockstarter controls a single power outlet, rated up to 250A/1.1kV and incorporates an integrally designed circuit breaker, contactor and all protection electronics into a single robust unit.

The versatile unit can be re-used for a wide range of applications, including all normal pump, fan and drill rig applications. It can also be scaled to suit specific applications, allowing multiple units to be connected in a series to supply all active operations in an area.

Transformers Our robust, high specification, custom designed transformers are proven in the mining industry where they are known for their quality and durability.

We design and manufacture oil filled and dry type transformers for underground and surface applications with ratings of 3 to 50MVA and primary voltages up to 132kV.

To support our customers through the transformer lifecycle we provide a range of engineering, testing and maintenance services including oil sampling, testing and diagnostic services, oil regeneration and overhauls.

We also offer a comprehensive range of refurbished and reconditioned transformers for short or long term hire or sale.

Surface Power DistributionWe understand the unique challenges of critical infrastructure, harsh environmental conditions and remote locations. This enables us to design and manufacture a range of customised high voltage and high current power distribution solutions to suit.

Our range includes products such as modular substations to enable scalability, transportable substations for ease of relocation, packaged switchrooms which minimise siteworks and modular switchyards for ease of site assembly.

To support our products we offer a range of high voltage services including high voltage installations, repairs, maintenance, upgrades and testing onsite or in our workshops.

Electronic Systems

Conveyor Solutions Our conveyor solutions include emergency stop, remote isolation, intercom, broadcast messaging functionality, automation and control as well as VSD and traditional integrated drive and power distribution systems to maximise productivity and safety on underground and overland conveyors.

Some of the longest conveyors in Australia are monitored using our award winning iMAC monitoring and control solution. This system minimises conveyor downtime and streamlines work processes for remote isolation and emergency stop applications.

Communications and Networking Our safe, reliable communications and networking systems are tailored and specifically designed to be robust and suitable for hazardous areas.

We specialise in intercoms, broadcast messaging, phones, telemetry and fibre networks as well as designing integrated communications systems that allow otherwise disparate communication devices to interact with one another, ensuring vital communications during both daily operation and emergencies.

Lighting Ampcontrol’s Burn Brite lights are built to withstand arduous conditions. From overland conveyor lighting systems designed specifically for remote locations to underground area and machinery lighting, Ampcontrol has a Burn Brite LED or fluorescent lighting solution suitable for any application.

Electrical Protection Relays We have a proven track record of delivering electrical protection relays that suit the unique system challenges and regulatory requirements of the mining industry. We are leading the way and manufacture the only hard rock mining relays to comply with the latest Australian standards.

Our comprehensive range of electrical protection relays provide integrated and individual relay protection for earth leakage, earth continuity, earth fault lockout and frozen contactor.
