MICROELETTRICA POWER DEVICES (PTY) LTDLEADERS
IN POWER ELECTRONICS
2
INTRODUCTION
  • History of the company
  • Established 1988
  • Founded by Mike Burger
  • Grew from 4 employees to 21
  • Current Location Honeydew (JHB)

3
INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS APPROVALS
Although Power Devices has not yet obtained ISO
9000 listing we have been periodically audited
and approved by many of our major customers such
as Spoornet.
4
INNOVATIONS
  • Bonded-fin heatsinks have revolutionised thermal
    management of power semiconductors.
  • Fibre-optic monitoring of rectifiers
    substation parameters has been written into
    railway specifications.
  • Inverse thinking on the construction of high
    power rectifiers has changed tender specification
    for maintenance.
  • The first combined water-cooled power
    semiconductor / fuse units are now virtually
    industry standards in high power rectifiers

5
OUR AIM
  • Dedicated to the design, development and
    manufacture of high-performance power
    semiconductor modules, units and assemblies.
  • Aim for designs
  • Compact.
  • Anticipate the users needs for terminations and
    auxiliaries.
  • Accommodates the requirement of rapid
    maintenance on-site.
  • Aesthetically, to complement the equipment into
    which it is installed.
  • To operate in harsh environments.
  • To meet international quality standards.
  • The quality of our product should enhance the
    sales potential of yours.

CLIENTS
  • Railway Industry
  • Transnet
  • Metrorail
  • Mining Industry
  • Palaborwa Mining
  • Xertech / Wonderstone
  • General Manufacturing Industry

7
TRACTION EQUIPMENT
  • Rectifiers
  • AC/DC Panels
  • Battery Chargers
  • Track Breakers
  • Isolator Panels
  • Complete Substation Refurbishments

8
AURUM SUBSTATION
Microelettrica Power Devices was responsible for
the design, supply, installation and
commissioning of a 3KV rectifier, AC/DC control
panel, protection and control cables and complete
overhaul of primary circuit breaker.
9
TRACTION RECTIFIERS
Microelettrica Power Devices is a leader in the
design and development of compact, ultra reliable
3kV DC substation rectifiers.
10
BATTERY CHARGERS
Microelettrica Power Devices is a leader in the
design and development of high reliability
substation chargers.
  • The chargers are configured with main
    transformer, fully controlled secondary thyristor
    rectifier, output load resistor and DC filter
    choke.
  • Thyristor control is via the industry standard
    P4500 analogue card, which allows for the firing
    of of thyristors in inverse parallel or DC bridge
    configuration with voltage and current feedback.

11
SF6 PRIMARY CIRCUIT BREAKER
Through years of collaboration with Consolidated
Power Maintenance, Microelettrica Power Devices
has been responsible for the wiring and
commissioning of SF6 Breakers
12
WONDERSTONE
Reverse-polarity water-cooled thyristor
controlled rectifier
The control system on this rectifier was
developed by Microelettrica Power Devices and is
the first of its kind in South Africa.

OTHER SPECIALITIES
R D Facilities
Our industrial testing facility is currently
being rebuilt for higher power.
R D Facility All our products start here.
Pilot runs are first made in R D and followed
by batch production.
Test results are recorded to ISO 9001 Spec.
19
OTHER SPECIALITIES
In-house Publishing
  • All marketing material is done in-house. This
    includes Banners, Manuals, Catalogues and
    Pamphlets.
  • Microelettrica Power Devices has the facility to
    produce electronic prototype 3 dimensional
    drawings.
