Know MoreSAG Mill Discharge Controlling the feed and discharge of a mill is mostly a stabilisation exercise – you need to be able to quickly and accurately control the mill feed rate If the mill feed setpoint is changed, then the actual feed rate needs to stabilise at the new target in a short period of time The feed rate setpoint can then be tied .
Know MoreThe expression "a sag of 80% of nominal" on a 120 Vrms nominal system refers to a reduction to 96 Vrms Some publications will refer to the percentage reduction instead, where an 80% sag on a 120Vrms system would be a reduction to 24 Vrms Figure 1 shows an example of a sag on a three phase circuit, monitored by PTs with a 120 volt nominal output
