Finishing block drive upgrade successfully commissioned at Evraz

The finishing block upgrade, Phase 3 of the multi-phase upgrade was successfully completed at the end of 2017. Russula was responsible for installation supervision, commissioning, on-site operator/maintenance training and provided both on-site and off-site remote support after the start-up to guarantee a smooth transition back to production.

Since Russula is an independent systems integrator, Evraz was offered two drive alternatives from different suppliers. The 6.8 MW ABB Mega Drive-LCI was chosen. It is a robust medium voltage drive used for high power applications ideal for the finishing block.
