Mining Electrical Single-Line Diagrams

Mining electrical single-line diagrams (SLDs) are essential for designing, operating, and maintaining power distribution networks in surface and underground mines. These diagrams provide a simplified overview of the electrical system, showing major equipment like transformers, switchgear, motor control centers (MCCs), and emergency generators, along with voltage levels and interconnections.

How to

How to use a single‑line diagram template.

  1. 01Choose a mining SLD template

    Start with a pre-built example for surface or underground mining to save time.

  2. 02Add power sources

    Drag and drop utility feeds, mine‑site generators, and transformers to represent your incoming supply.

  3. 03Build the distribution backbone

    Insert buses, switchgear, and circuit breakers to create your main voltage levels (e.g., 33 kV, 15 kV, 480 V).

  4. 04Connect loads and motor centers

    Place SAG mill motors, crusher MCCs, ventilation fans, and lighting panels with appropriate running loads.

  5. 05Label and finalize

    Add voltage ratings, equipment tags, and cable sizes, then export or share your diagram.

FAQ

Questions about single‑line diagram templates

What is a single-line diagram in mining?

A mining single‑line diagram is a simplified electrical schematic that shows the flow of power from the source to the loads in a mine site. It uses standard symbols to represent transformers, switchgear, motors, and other equipment, omitting detailed wiring for clarity.

What voltage levels are common in mining electrical systems?

Typical voltages in mining include high voltage (e.g., 33 kV or 15 kV) for primary distribution, medium voltage (4.16 kV or 6.6 kV) for large motors, and low voltage (480 V, 440 V, or 220 V) for smaller equipment, lighting, and controls.

How do I include emergency systems in a mining SLD?

Add a standby generator symbol connected through an automatic transfer switch (ATS) to the essential loads bus. Clearly mark the generator rating and the loads it supports, such as emergency lighting, ventilation fans, or pump systems.

Can I customize the symbols in the mining electrical SLD?

Yes, the diagram maker allows you to modify all symbols and add custom icons. You can also adjust line styles, colors, and layouts to match your company standards or specific site requirements.

Is there a template for underground mining SLDs?

Absolutely. Our gallery includes underground mining examples, like the 440 V system with emergency generator and lighting. You can clone and adapt these templates for your own underground operation.
