PowerSting™

The PowerSting™ system is a series of external high-power transmitters—5-kilowatt, 10-kilowatt, and 15-kilowatt—specifically engineered for the SuperSting™ instrument. The PowerSting™ system is a fully programmable constant voltage/constant current source. It is available with an SGS generator and a wireless repeater box.

Available in three different lines:

5-kW PowerSting™

• Choose between 2.5 Amp / 2,000 Volt; 5 Amp / 1,000 Volt; or 10 Amp / 500 Volt

• Power source: Single-Phase, 208-220 Volt, 50/60 Hz, 7.5kw (Minimum)

10-kW PowerSting™

• Choose between 3.2 Amp / 3,000 Volt; 5 Amp / 2,000 Volt; or 27 Amp / 375 Volt

• Power source: 3-Phase, 208 Volt, 50/60 Hz, 15 kW (Minimum)

15-kW PowerSting™

• Choose between 5 Amp / 3,000 Volt; 7.5 Amp/ 2,000 Volt; 10 Amp / 1,500 Volt; 15 Amp / 1,000 Volt; or 30 Amp / 500 Volt

• Power source 3-Phase, 480 Volt, 50/60 Hz, 22.5 kW (minimum)

Use Cases:

The PowerSting™ system is designed to work for multiple applications, including:

• Vertical Electrical Sounding

• 2D Electrical Imaging

• 3D Electrical Imaging 

• 3D-offset electrical imaging of a 2D survey line in both manual and automatic modes

• Mineral Exploration

• Mining

Mineral Exploration For Sulfide Ore Bodies

Mineral exploration and mining is crucial to the developing world—in countries like China, materials to build infrastructure are in high demand, and in order to have these materials, you have to know where to look. That’s where induced polarization (IP) and tools like IP transmitters come in—IP can help find ore bodies (copper, silver, gold, or whatever minerals are needed).

How does it work? The PowerSting™ is used to automatically charge up the large, deep areas of the ground (where ore bodies are suspected). The SuperSting™ then turns off the PowerSting™ IP transmitter and uses its receiver to listen and record the decay of voltage over time. The data is processed using the EarthImager™ 2D or 3D software in order to get chargeability (IP) images, similar to the resistivity images recorded at the same time.

Features:

• Fully programmable, external high-power (constant voltage/constant current) source can be used with either of our SuperSting™ instruments.

• Automatic shut-off for input power loss, overheating, over voltage, over current, or fuse in order to keep users safe.

• Wired communication between SuperSting™ and PowerSting™.
