CASE STUDIES Single to Three phase POLYPHAZ Rotary converters

Palmers Winery Margaret river Western Australia

A strata titled winery comprising of 37 free hold vineyard blocks , with sites ranging from 2 hectares to 5 hectares all irrigated via a central lake, three phase power was out of the question and a generator set was not a viable option to operate the two 15kw submersible pumps laid on their sides to irrigate the vines via the lake.

           
        2 x 15kw submersible pumps                                      2 x R/37/480 rotary converters

Three phase power was required to operate the 22KW submersible pump at this rural location, however was many Kilometers away & several thousand dollars to get connected.
A rotary converter was specified / selected as a good voltage balance is required to operate submersible pump.

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:
 

• Six stage VolTrak system, that ensures high efficiency through good voltage asymmetry though out the load spectrum.
• Floating pole rotaries ( FPRs ) coupled with modified rotors ensure:

• NO  high speed electronic switching devices used or uncontrolled diode bridge rectifier used in the output power supply.
