BlueScope Steele employs around 3,500 people at the Port Kembla Steelworks.
BlueScope accounts for more than $2 billion in sales of locally produced steel each year, and the Port Kembla Steelworks has a production capacity of 2.6 million tonnes of steel per annum. The Steelworks covers 760 hectares.
Client Requirements
Magellan were required to design, manufacture, supply and install two MCRII chargers, complete with 100Ah Lithium Battery banks for the Steelwork’s Emergency Lighting Main Switch, and Vacuum Degasser Emergency Supply Main Switch. The main challenge with this project was that the battery charger needed to supply a high current for a short period of time. The existing charger was supplying this load with Lead Acid batteries, but the cells were not performing and were frequently being damaged by the application.
