Variable speed drives Altivar Solar Dedicated solution for solar application

Presentation

Dedicated variable speed drive solution for solar application The energy-efficient Altivar Solar is a solar-powered drive solution to cater for water challenges and de-dieselization of irrigation pumping and agri-processing machinery. The robust and simple-to-use Altivar Solar drive solution is used to supply drinking water at a lower cost for people in rural and remote areas with limited or no access to electrical grids. Maximum solar utilization This solution harvests the maximum solar energy to run the pump for the maximum duration in a day by controlling the speed of the motor based on the power available from solar panels. The built-in maximum power point tracking (MPPT) function helps to ensure that you get the most power out of the solar panels and that the pump operates optimally throughout the day. Save energy costs and maximize productivity Easy configuration via a dedicated “Sun” menu. The Altivar Solar drive can connect to the grid and solar PV source, helping to ensure water pumping at night and even on cloudy days. The drive is optimized for pumping applications and can achieve up to 30% energy savings. It is a dedicated solar drive with built-in MPPT function and solar-specific functions menu. Sustainable solution An environment-friendly solar pumping solution harnessing the power of the sun, with no CO 2 emissions, utilizing Altivar Solar drives. The Altivar Solar offer is RoHS/ REACH compliant, and Green Premium is labeled by design. Improving service life Altivar Solar drives have a built-in monitoring function to help prevent the pump from running dry. If there is no water in the pump, the released heat could damage it over time, potentially shortening its service life. Wide voltage and power range The wide DC voltage range (150 to 777 VDC) enables you to connect high wattage panels to Altivar Solar drives. When not connected to solar panels, the drive can be connected to a standard power supply: b 200 V single-phase: 0.37...2.2 kW/ 0.5...3 HP b 200 V three-phase: 3…15 kW/ 4…20 HP b 400 V three-phase: 0.37…15 kW/ 0.5…20 HP Applications The Altivar Solar offer incorporates functions suitable for the most common solar applications, including: Irrigation b Drip irrigation b Sprinklers
