    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2009) Matras, Eugeniusz; Reizer, Ryszard; Umiński, Wojciech
    Brown Coal Mine Bełchatów decided to modernize caterpillar and steering drives of SchRs 4600 excavators that have been build by Krupp of Germany in the seventies of 20th century. In the paper a concept and technical solutions that fulfil the aim of modernization are presented. DC motors driving excavator caterpillars are replaced by AC motors. Each AC motor is supplied and controlled by an advanced adjustable frequency converter. Frequency converters DC terminals are connected to the common DC bus. Such a solution makes it possible to control velocity each of the excavator caterpillar and return energy from motors working as generators to motors driving caterpillars while the excavator is turning. Additionally power feedback units are used to return electrical energy to the mains when AC motors work as generators while the excavator goes down the slope. A program logic controller (PLC) is used for control and monitoring of the multi-motor excavator drive system.
