Drilling Mud Pump Control System & VFD | Drive Technology

Drive for Drilling Pumps

The use of frequency-controlled electric drive of drilling pumps ensures:

• the possibility of regulating the supply of drilling mud by regulating the speed of rotation of the drilling pumps, thereby increasing the penetration rate;
• reduction of electricity consumption;
• reduction of maintenance costs for electric motors;
• necessary technological and electrical protection and interlocks.

Technical characteristics of the electric drive:

The electric drive of the mud pumps can be controlled by:

• from the pump control panel;
• from the driller's console using an automated microprocessor control system;
• in the manual from the door of the drive unit from the container KTU.

The automatic control system (ATS) of the electric drive of the pump provides:

• smooth regulation of engine speed in the range from 0 to 1000 rpm;
• limiting the pace of acceleration and deceleration of the electric drive of the pump;
• maintaining the specified speed of rotation of the drive motor;
• limiting the motor torque in the range from 40 to 110% of the nominal.

The pump control panel (PD) with the remote data input / output station is installed in the pump unit of the drilling rig.
