FAQs
Plan for a 460 V three-phase supply with a current draw around 74.8 A. Use the UL Type 1 (IP21) enclosure for indoor or sheltered outdoor installations and select appropriate fieldbus or I/O modules to integrate with existing irrigation controllers and SCADA. The drive's compact wall-mount design simplifies retrofits in pump houses and field stations.
The drive is IEEE 519 compliant and maintains a unity power factor with total harmonic distortion (THiD) at or below 3%. This minimizes electrical stress on transformers and motors, reduces energy losses, and improves reliability of irrigation pumping systems under variable loads.
Yes. With a horsepower range of 40–150 HP at 460 V three-phase and irrigation-specific software, it supports variable flow control, level and flow protection, and dry-pump safeguards. This enables precise water delivery across large, multi-site irrigation networks while smoothing power demands and reducing peak energy consumption.
Key standards include IEEE 519 for harmonic control and UL Type 1 (IP21) enclosure, ensuring safe indoor operation and reliable performance in field environments. These specifications support compliant installation in agricultural facilities and pump stations while delivering robust electrical protection.
The drive reduces mechanical and electrical wear through smooth ramping and protection features, contributing to longer pump life and fewer unplanned outages. Energy efficiency improvements lower operating costs, while modular I/O and fieldbus options streamline commissioning and ongoing maintenance, delivering a faster payback in irrigation and water-management projects.
