Irrigation was previously supplied via 2 x 15 kw 3 phase pumps operated via 2 x electronic inverters for approx. three years during this time they have replaced four Western Power supply transformers due to Harmonics, along with other problems like contactor coils running hot & melting ,the switchboard running hot all typical indications of harmonics.

They needed to upgrade the irrigation to 3 x 22kw pumps operated via one of the existing VSDs to control pressure , we offered the R/75/480U rotary converter to supply 415 volt three phase from their 480 volt single phase supply with standout results in the form of: efficiency, voltage & current asymmetry with none of the effects of harmonics apparent.

How we achieved these results:
 

                    1   High efficiency
                    2   Low circulating currents
                    3   Lower power costs
                    4   Low harmonics... throughout the load spectrum
                    5   High power factor
