History, overview of GMDs
In the sixties the cement process started to be controllable,
requirements of large cement and raw mills came up
The cement plant Le Havre in France, was the biggest and
most advanced cement plant at that time in1969
It was the first straight single line cement plant at that time
Single cement mill of 160 metric tons / hour was required
ABB Group

Single cement mill of 160 metric tons / hour was required
No gearbox manufacturer could supply a gearbox for this
size of power
BBC (later ABB) came up with the idea of a Gearless Mill Drive
(GMD) of 6400 kW
BBC was awarded to supply the first GMD in 1969 Le
Havre/France
History, overview of GMDs (cont.)
The first GMD was running with its original design from
1969 until 2000 and continuous with a new power part
(cycloconverter) its operation under full production
Le Havre GMD was controlled by the last generation of
mercury rectifiers
Since successfully beginning operation at the end of 1969,

Since successfully beginning operation at the end of 1969,
this first GMD in the world, operating with a cycloconverter
fed synchronous motor, has been followed by much more
such drives, firm confirmation that BBC were on the right
path
Competition came later into the game when performance
data from BBC was visibly very positive
BBC delivered first GMD for the mining industry in 1970 to
the Bougainville plant in Papua New Guinea

General
No upper design limit to the rated output
High power, huge capacity & throughput
Drive is constructed with a single motor
The air gap can be made sufficiently large
This allows the rotor to be mounted directly on the rotating
ABB Group
November 16, 2012 | Slide 8
This allows the rotor to be mounted directly on the rotating
part of the mill body
Large air gap permits large air gap variations

ABB Group
November 16, 2012 | Slide 11
No inching drive required
Variable speed, the base for process optimization
Low maintenance
High availability & reliability
Bi-directional operation possible
Synchronous motors
Can be used in a very wide range (due to its possibilities of
adjustment)
Higher efficiency than induction motors
Less voltage drop during start-up
Number 2 with respect to number of drives

Cylindrical
Typically used for higher speeds (windage losses,
noise)
Often 2 pole design, e.g. turbo-generators (50 or 60 Hz)
with 3000 rpm or 3600 rpm

Synchronous motor Damper winding
Mechanical or electrical load variations can lead to torque
oscillations
This results in torsional vibrations and oscillations in the
current
The motor may fall out of synchronization
Damper winding
ABB Group
November 16, 2012 | Slide 27
Damper winding
Damper winding is similar to cage of induction motor
Dampens these oscillations
Higher harmonics and resulting losses
Used to start synchronous motors similar to induction
motors
