Supporting Safe, Efficient, and Productive Mining
Mining operations are built for optimized production – but what about the power grid supporting them? Mines depend on reliable power to keep everything running from excavation to processing. But with new challenges such as increased demands on the electrical grid and aging infrastructure, even the most well-run sites can face unexpected power flow challenges.
Dynamic Ratings works with mining operations to monitor and manage critical electrical assets, helping teams stay ahead of potential issues and maintain productivity, efficiency, and safety.
When Power Isn’t Predictable, Monitoring Matters
In remote or high-demand environments, grid reliability isn’t always guaranteed. Unstable power can lead to:
-
Disruptions in production
-
Equipment stress and wear
-
Operational delays and rising costs
With Dynamic Ratings, mining operations gain greater visibility into their electrical systems, so they can respond quickly, plan proactively, and keep things moving.
Asset Health = Operational Strength
Electrical assets like transformers, switchgear, and cables are the backbone of your operation. Our monitoring solutions help teams:
-
Understand the condition of their assets in real time
-
Make informed maintenance decisions
-
Reduce the risk of unplanned outages
-
Extend the life of critical equipment
The result? Less guesswork, more uptime, and better use of your team’s time and resources.
Safety Through Insight
When you have visibility into your power systems, you can act sooner — and safer. Monitoring helps reduce the risk of electrical failures that can put personnel and equipment at risk. It’s about giving your team the information they need to work smarter and stay safe.

Condition-Based Monitoring for Mines
Transformer Monitoring
There are many areas on a transformer that can be monitored. Dynamic Ratings’ experience and global expertise can help you determine the solution that meets your needs. We offer a variety of transformer monitoring options such as temperature, bushings, partial discharge, OLTC, key gas, through faults, harmonics, voltage control, and more.
Switchgear and Cable Monitoring
Switchgear is a key asset in the substation and is links directly to the reliability of the power supply. Monitoring is easy to implement and will increase reliability, efficiency and safety in the workplace.
Motor Monitoring
It is important for mines to have reliable motors. Online condition-based monitoring collects data generated during the assets normal operating conditions to get real-time awareness of problems.
Asset Management Software
DynamicMetrix® incorporates the experience of the Dynamic Ratings team to consolidate all your condition data, analyze the data in real time and deliver a complete fleet assessment while giving you the ability to obtain detailed information, make timely decisions and take the appropriate actions to maximize reliability, performance and the life of your assets.
Communications
Setting up proper communications is essential to the success of online monitoring. We have an option that is affordable, easy to install and secure. Our monitors have a variety of communication protocols available for your convenience.
Smart Infrastructure Solutions
Mining Production Facilities are a huge asset, distributed over a wide area. With the introduction of distributed energy resources (DERs), reduced budgets and high performance expectations a new paradigm shift has been required to address the growing challenges. Mines now need data more than ever to make best use of their assets.
