ESKOM identified the need for the replacement
of the coal stacker/ reclaimer control system at
their dry cooled power station near Ellisras in the
Northern province.
Significant feature
of this project was the design, by one of AGE's
engineers, of unique connection terminals ‐
housed in the PLC cabinet ‐ which comprised full
lightning protection on all inputs and outputs.
This type of terminal has now become a standard
in the electrical industry
