Electrical System
In a rose company using an irrigation pump system, the electrical connection from the post-harvest transformer to the 200 kVA generator ensures reliable and efficient power, especially during outages.
Basic Operation:
- Main Transformer:
Receives electricity from the grid and converts it to the appropriate voltage for distribution to the company’s systems, including post-harvest processing and irrigation pumps. - Distribution Panel:
Distributes power from the transformer to various systems, such as lighting, refrigeration, and irrigation pumps. - 200 kVA Generator:
Serves as a backup power source. In the event of a power outage, an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) switches the power source from the transformer to the generator. - Transformer-to-Generator Interconnection:Connected using high-capacity cables designed to handle the power demand of the irrigation pumps and other systems.An ATS ensures a safe and automatic transition between grid power and generator power.
- Irrigation Pump System:
Receives power from the electrical system to operate pumps that extract and distribute water across the crops, ensuring continuous irrigation regardless of power interruptions.
