SDI Heartland Temper Mill Stand Motor and Drive Replacement

Steel Dynamics Inc. • Flat Roll Group Heartland Division had a problem on its temper mill. The stand bottom motor was on the verge of failure. Did it make sense to replace the DC motor with another DC motor when the drive was obsolete? Did it make sense to replace with an AC motor and drive for a mill that was all-DC? What happens if a new AC motor and drive are ordered and the DC motor fails in the interim? These are the questions that were faced. The paper will address the alternatives in detail, the challenges that were encountered, and how it worked out.
