I. Composition and Calculation Key Points of a Mixing Plant's Total Power

The total power of a mixing plant is not the power of a single main unit, but the sum of the rated power of all electrical equipment. Accurately calculating the equipment power is the first step in transformer selection.

1.1 List of Major Electrical Equipment

- Mixer: Core electrical equipment, consuming the most power.

- Conveying System: Includes equipment such as inclined belt conveyors and flat belt conveyors.

- Powder Conveying System: Screw conveyors (typically equipped with 2-4 units).

- Liquid Supply System: Auxiliary equipment such as water pumps and admixture pumps.

- Pneumatic System: Power equipment such as air compressors.

- Control System: Automation and lighting equipment.

1.2 Key Calculation Factors

In actual production, all equipment rarely operates at full capacity simultaneously. It is recommended to use the necessary factor (typically 0.65-0.85) for scientific calculations to avoid oversizing the transformer and wasting resources.

III. Practical Calculation for Transformer Selection (Using the HZS120 as an Example)

It is recommended to use the following formula for accurate calculation:

Transformer Capacity (kVA) = Total Power (kW) × Required Power Factor / Power Factor

Using the HZS120 Concrete Batching Plant as an example (total power of 200kW):

- Required Power Factor = 0.75

- Power Factor = 0.9

- Theoretical Calculation: 200 × 0.75 / 0.9 166.7 kVA

It is recommended to select a 315 kVA or 400 kVA transformer. kVA transformers, taking into account the following practical factors:

- Sudden surge in equipment startup current

- Future capacity expansion requirements

- National standard capacity sequence

IV. Five Key Factors Affecting Transformer Selection

1. Power Supply Distance: The longer the line, the greater the voltage drop, requiring an appropriate increase in transformer capacity.

2. Grid Quality: Areas with unstable voltage require a larger transformer capacity.

3. Other Station Loads: Power consumption for offices, laboratories, etc. should be included in the total load.

4. Ambient Temperature: Derating may be required in high-temperature environments.

5. Production Nature: Continuous and intermittent production have different transformer requirements.

 

V. Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the minimum transformer capacity for the HZS90 concrete batching plant?

A: Theoretically, 160 kVA meets basic requirements, but ٹونگکسین مشینری recommends selecting a 250 kVA or higher transformer to ensure smooth startup and long-term stable operation.

Q2: What are the risks of oversizing the transformer capacity?

A: This can lead to a "big horse pulling a small cart" phenomenon, increasing basic electricity costs, initial investment, and no-load losses.

Q3: Can a single transformer power two production lines?

A: Yes, but this requires professional calculation. Two HZS120 production lines typically require a 500-800 kVA transformer, and the current surge when starting both simultaneously must be assessed.

 

Conclusion

When selecting a transformer for a concrete batching plant, we recommend:

1. Request a detailed list of electrical equipment from the equipment Manufacturer .

2. Reserve capacity based on future development plans.

3. Consult a professional electrical engineer for accurate calculations.

4. Select a high-quality transformer that meets national standards.

 

Selecting the right transformer is crucial for safe production and energy conservation in concrete batching plants. As a professional supplier of concrete machinery and equipment, Tongxin Machinery provides one-stop equipment configuration and technical support services.
