1 SCOPE
This document specifies technical issues unique to the enhanced liquid resistance starter
(“LRS”) configuration for grinding mills. This configuration will reduce torsional stressesduring starting large mills. (Refer to Debswana Specification 581006 “Torque Limits ForGrinding Mill Drives”.) An enhanced LRS comprises two LRS in parallel plus an optionalseries energisation resistor per motor. Thus an enhanced LRS for a dual pinion millcomprises four individual LRS in total. (Refer to the single line diagram in Appendix C.)
This specification only addresses those aspects that are unique to an enhanced LRSconfiguration; standard requirements for the starter shall be covered by otherspecifications (see Appendix A).
2 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS TO BE SPECIFIED BY THE ENGINEER
The following requirements shall be specified on every invitation to tender, contract, ororder:
• Title, number, issue and date of this specification.
• Technical data in Appendix F.
3 TECHNICAL DATA TO BE REPORTED BY THE CONTRACTOR
The contractor shall specify the data as required in Appendix F.
Note that the engineer shall specify his requirements in the first column and the contractorshall state the capabilities of the equipment that he is offering in the second column of thesame Appendix.
In Appendix G, the contractor shall indicate compliance or acceptance of each clause of this specification.
4 DEFINITIONS
For the purpose of this specification the following definitions shall apply (refer to the singleline diagram in Appendix C):
Approved : Approved by the Engineer in writing
Closed Loop Control : An LRS control system, whereby the LRS electrode
movement is stopped (i.e. the LRS resistance ceases todecrease) if the rotor current exceeds a pre-set value.
Cold : Condition of the starter at the coldest ambient before anystart is performed.
Dual LRS : Arrangement for dual pinion mills, whereby two LRS sharecommon electrolyte, electrode carriages are moved by acommon drive and the contactor is ganged, all to ensureload sharing throughout the start.

Energisation Resistor : A resistor in series with the first stage LRS for the first onesecond (adjustable) after the motor(s) are energised.
Enhanced LRS : Arrangement of two LRS per motor to achieve a greaterresistance variation during the start so as to reducetorsional transients. (Refer to the single line diagram inAppendix C and Logic Flow Diagram Appendix D.)
First stage LRS : The LRS (single or dual unit) that is connected to the sliprings of the main motor(s) to accelerate it (them) from zeroto approximately 97% speed. At the end of the travel of thefirst stage LRS’ electrodes, a contactor connects the sliprings and first stage LRS to the second stage LRS in aparallel connection. (Refer to the single line diagram in
Appendix C and the Logic Flow Diagram Appendix D.)
Hot : Condition of the starter and components, in the hottestambient, immediately before performing the last of thespecified maximum allowed number of starts per hour.
LRS : Liquid Resistance Starter. In this specification, in the caseof single pinion mill LRS means a single LRS. In the caseof a dual pinion mill LRS means a dual LRS.
OEM : Original Equipment Manufacturer
Second stage LRS : The LRS (single or dual unit) that is connected to the sliprings of the main motor in parallel with the first stage LRSat the end of the operation of the first stage LRS, when themotor has reached approximately 97% speed. The secondstage LRS accelerates the motor to close to rated speed,when a contactor short-circuits the slip rings. The motormay run permanently at rated speed with this short-circuitcontactor, or a rotating slip ring short-circuit hub and brushlifting gear may be operated after the short circuit contactorhas operated. (Refer to the single line diagram in AppendixC the Logic Flow Diagram Appendix D.)

5 REQUIREMENTS
5.1 OPERATION OF THE ENHANCED LRS
Refer to the definitions for a brief description of the terms and to the single line diagram inAppendix C the Logic Flow Diagram Appendix D.
When the motors are energised, an energisation resistor in series with the first stage LRSlimits the motor starting current. After approximately one second (adjustable) theenergisation resistor is short-circuited by contactor 1 / 1A. Simultaneously, the first stageLRS electrodes begin to be lowered.
The first stage LRS now accelerates the motor to approximately 97% speed. When thefirst stage LRS completes its operation, contactor 2 / 2A connects the second stage LRSin parallel with the first stage LRS.
The operation of the second stage LRS is initiated by closing contactor 2 / 2A. The secondstage LRS accelerates the motor from approximately 97% speed closer to rated speedand then contactor 3 / 3A short-circuits the slip rings. The slip rings shall be short circuitedonly after a one second delay after the second stage electrodes complete their travel.
This arrangement achieves a wider range of resistance in the rotor circuit than does asingle LRS and hence achieves lower transient torques during starting.
5.2 ENVIRONMENT
All equipment shall be suitable for the environmental conditions specified by the engineerin Appendix F.
5.3 DETERMINATION OF ENERGISATION RESISTOR, 1ST STAGE & 2ND STAGE LRS
RESISTANCES
During contract execution of each new mill and or drive design, before manufacturecommences, a simulation study shall be performed. This study shall encompass thesupply network, main mill motor(s), resistor starting system, shafts, couplings, gears, milland ore. The study shall be performed at maximum supply voltage (refer to Appendix F)and for both cold and hot conditions. The various parameters of the starter system shallbe optimised to ensure that the torsional stresses imposed on the mill mechanicals arewithin the limits stated in Debswana Specification 581006 “Grinding Mill Torque Limits.”
On completion of the simulation study, before manufacture commences, the schedule inAppendix F of this specification as well as the relevant Appendices in Specification581006 shall be completed and submitted to the Engineer for his approval.
5.4 ENERGISATION RESISTOR
The energisation resistor shall be rated for:
• 110% of rotor rated current
• Constant duty cycle of two seconds on and fifteen minutes off (1/450)
• Full rotor phase voltage line to earth.
The resistor shall:

• Be monitored with an over temperature alarm.
• Be protected with temperature sensor that will inhibit a start on excessive
temperature.• Have taps as specified in Appendix F. It shall be possible to easily change the
resistance values on site by either cabling all the taps down to terminals, orconnecting the terminals by “loops” of silicone insulated cable to terminals in such amanner that the cables may be readily moved to other taps or all taps shall bebrought down by bus bar to a termination point.
• Tested at twice rotor open circuit voltage divided by 1,7 plus 1 kV to earth for 60seconds.
• Be short circuited after a pre-set time from the instant that the mill motor is started,as determined by the liquid resistance starter and not under the control of the plantplc (as the latter can introduce uncontrollable delays).
5.5 CONTACTORS
For dual starters all rotor switchgear shall be mechanically ganged so as to ensure theclosest possible synchronism between the switching operations of both motors.
All contactors in the rotor circuit (contactors 1/1A, 2 /2A, 3/3A in Appendix C) shall berated at least:
• Full rotor open circuit voltage
• 200% of rotor current for sixty seconds
• Open on-load 200% of rated rotor current as dc
In addition, if slip ring short-circuiting and brush lifting gear is NOT installed, the short-circuiting contactor (ganged if the starter is a dual LRS, for dual pinion drives) shall berated for at least 120% of the rotor current continuously.
5.6 LRS CONTROL
If specified by the engineer in Appendix F, the first stage LRS shall include closed loopcontrol; otherwise the setting time shall be fixed. The closed loop control shall not causethe electrodes to be raised, but shall act only to prevent the electrodes from being loweredwhile the rotor current exceeds 150% (adjustable) of the rated current.
The setting time of the second stage LRS shall include a VSD on the electrode drive toallow the setting time to be pre-set during commissioning.
5.7 CURRENT TRANSFORMER
If closed loop control is required, a Hall – Effect CT rated dc to 50 Hz and zero to 200% of rotor rated short circuit current shall be installed in the first stage LRS to monitor rotorcurrent.

5.8 ELECTRODE PHASE T ANK CIRCULATING PUMPS
Each of the three polypropylene electrode phase tanks in the first stage starter (only) must
have the entire electrolyte within it exchanged within five minutes. This is to be done by apump(s), draining from two locations, on opposite sides of and on the bottom of eachelectrode tank, and returning the hot electrolyte far from the electrode phase tanks,slightly below the surface of the electrolyte. The electrode phase tank pump(s) mustoperate for fifteen minutes after a start, before a “start interlocks healthy” can be issued.
The pump(s) must cease operating when a start commences.
An electrolyte-circulating pump is not to be installed in the second stage liquid resistancestarter.
The pumping arrangement shall be submitted to the Engineer for his approval beforemanufacturing commences.
5.9 MONITORING
The electrolyte temperature shall be monitored by a temperature sensor mounted close tothe outlet of the electrode tank pump mention in clause 5.7 above.
An alarm, indicating that only one more start is permitted, shall be issued when theelectrolyte temperature exceeds 35 ºC (adjustable). Further starts shall be inhibited whilethe electrolyte temperature exceeds 45 º C (adjustable).
5.10 SECOND STAGE LRS ELECTROLYTE HEATER
The second stage liquid resistance starter shall be equipped with a thermostatically
controlled immersion heater rated to maintain its electrolyte at an (adjustable) temperatureof between 20 ºC and 25 ºC.
5.11 ELECTRODES
The electrodes of both the primary and secondary liquid resistance starters shall mesh byat least 100 mm or more.

APPENDIX E: SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
The following additional notes shall apply for Waterval UG2 Concentrator secondary Mill:
The dual starter from the primary mill to be refurbished and utilized as the 2nd stage LRS. Thisrequires that the electrode drive gearbox be removed, and a larger VSD driven motor be installed.
The existing dual starter is to have “closed loop” control installed. This will necessitate installing aHall Effect CT, larger power VSD driven electrode travel motor, plc
The energisation resistor (one per motor) could be mounted on either the existing dual LRS or onthe refurbished LRS.
For Waterval, the energisation resistor, first and second stage resistance values have beencalculated by ATD. Thus the requirements of clause 5.3 have already been complied with and the
cost of a study should not be included in the LRS equipment quote.
