Rockwell Automation: Building More Resilient Mining Operations by Reducing Arc Flash Risk

Mining operations run on power. Across crushing, conveying, hoisting, pumping, ventilation and mineral processing, electrical infrastructure keeps production moving and helps connect the assets, systems and people that make safe, efficient operations possible. But the same electrical systems that support higher productivity also introduce risk, especially in environments shaped by dust, moisture, vibration, remote locations, confined spaces and constant pressure to maximize uptime. Arc flash is one of the risks mining companies cannot afford to treat as a narrow compliance issue. It is a safety, reliability and operational continuity challenge that can affect people, assets and production at the same time.

NOARK: The Hidden Electrical Fault – Why RCCB Protection Matters

Electrical systems need to do more than deliver power—they need to protect the people and equipment that depend on them. While conventional circuit breakers protect against overloads and short circuits, another potentially dangerous electrical fault can occur without generating enough current to trip them: a ground fault. That’s why residual current protection is an important part of modern electrical safety. With the impending introduction of the NOARK L1H Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) to the North American market, electrical professionals have another dependable solution for detecting potentially hazardous leakage currents.

Littelfuse: A Long-Term Industrial Partner Deeply Rooted in Canada

Littelfuse’s story in Canada is, at its core, a Saskatoon story. Startco, founded and grown in Saskatoon, built its reputation as a specialist in protection relays, ground‑fault systems, and custom power distribution solutions for some of the most demanding industrial environments in the country. That expertise made Startco a natural fit for Littelfuse, whose Industrial segment focuses on industrial circuit protection, protective and monitoring relays, and industrial controls and sensors. By bringing Startco into this core business, Littelfuse signaled that it viewed the Saskatoon team not as a bolt‑on, but as a strategic part of its long‑term industrial portfolio.

SmartD: Why SCCR Cannot Be Reduced to a Breaker Rating

Short Circuit Current Rating (SCCR) is often treated like a label to check and move on. That is a mistake. One of the biggest sources of confusion in the field is failing to separate two very different ideas: the ability to interrupt and the ability to withstand. A breaker or fuse may have the interrupting capacity needed to clear a fault, but that does not automatically mean the full assembly behind it can survive that same event safely. That is where SCCR matters. This becomes even more important in VFD panels.

Leviton: Surge Protection for Commercial & Industrial Facilities

While most people associate surges with storm activity and lightning, many events, from utility work to turning on/off air conditioning units and production machinery, cause small surges and disturbances inside your facility every day. While these routine events may not render obvious damage, they could diminish the lifespan of your equipment and appliances over time. By layering multiple surge protectors throughout your facility, you can protect your valuables and save thousands on equipment and unplanned downtime.

PULS: Capacitor-Based Buffer Modules – Fast, Reliable Bridging for Short-Term DC Power Interruptions

Capacitor-based buffer modules are ideal for applications that require a limited bridging time to safely shut down systems following a DC power outage. These modules provide a short but critical time window to transition equipment into a defined, de-energised state—minimising the risk of data loss or hardware damage. Early detection of voltage drops is essential for this strategy. Typically, this is achieved via the DC-OK signal at the output of the power supply. Once a drop is detected, the buffer module immediately takes over the load supply and maintains stable DC voltage until its stored energy is depleted.
