La mesa giratoria por otro lado, funciona con electricidad producida por uno o más
conjuntos de generadores separados.
La instalación de una mesa giratoria eléctrica sería difícil, la mesa giratoria también
es accionada mecánicamente por los motores primarios en el camión.
-Safer: Steeples speed regulation allows for accurate control of the circulating,
hoisting, and rotating equipment.
-More reliable: As generator sets are installed in parallel, shutting down a single
unit for repair or maintenance normally can be done without interrupting normal
drilling operations.
The electric drilling rigs are available in two types that either use direct current
(DC) or alternating current (AC) to power the rig components:
Apart from being more energy efficient, AC powered rigs allow the drilling
operator to more accurately control the rig equipment, thus enhancing rig
safety and reducing drilling time.
On mechanical drilling rigs, also called power rigs, the rotary energy of the
diesel engines is transferred directly to the draw works, mud pumps, and rotary
table via a system of chains or belts, torque converters and clutches.
Most truck-mounted drilling rigs are mechanical drilling rigs where the diesel
engine or engines that are mounted on the carrier drive both the draw works
and the rotary table. In addition, each mud pump has its own diesel engine
driving the pump via belts or chains.
Although mechanical drilling rigs are less expensive than electric drilling rigs,
they are less reliable due to the fact, that the failure of a single main engine
can can bring drilling to a halt.
On an electro-mechanical drilling rig, at least the draw works is driven via the
direct transfer of rotary power from the main diesel engines.
The rotary table, on the other hand, runs on electricity produced by one or
more separate generator sets.
With the diesel engines and draw works mounted on the truck, the draw works
of a truck or trailer-mounted drilling rig is always driven mechanically.
-The most important drive on a rig, the rotary table or top drive, is powered
electronically and can thus be precisely controlled.
