Agricultural irrigation outdoor power supply system solutions

Detailed plan description

We provide outdoor dedicated power distribution equipment and control systems for agricultural scenarios such as field irrigation, orchard spraying, and aquaculture. The entire series of equipment meets high protection levels and is suitable for outdoor farmland environments that are humid, dusty, and prone to lightning strikes. It is equipped with functions such as water pump soft start, remote start and stop, and leakage protection to solve the pain points of agricultural power supply safety hazards and inconvenient operation and maintenance.

Adapted to Indonesia

It solves the problems of "unstable mains power, scattered pumping stations, lightning strikes in rainy seasons, and high manual start and stop costs" for farms, irrigation pump stations and remote agricultural projects. The solution covers outdoor distribution boxes, VFD water pump control, solar pumps, remote start and stop, lightning protection grounding and waterproof and anti-corrosion installation.

Professional specifications and standards based

The water pump load is usually 380/400V three-phase, and the control cabinet is recommended to be equipped with VFD, phase loss/overload/dry-running protection; the outdoor box is IP65/IP66, and the materials can be galvanized sheet spray, stainless steel 304/316 or FRP. Refer to IEC 61439, IEC 60529, IEC 61800, IEC 60364, IEC 62305 lightning protection requirements.

Original experience and test data

Scarce experience: Failures in agricultural projects are mostly caused by water vapor, sediment, lightning strikes and unprofessional wiring.

Pitfalls and pain points that I have stepped on

• Ordinary distribution boxes are not waterproof. Rain and moisture in the rainy season can lead to leakage, short circuit, and even electric shock accidents;
• The risk of lightning strikes in open farmland is high, there is no perfect lightning protection system, and water pumps and power distribution equipment are frequently burned during the rainy season;
• High-power water pumps are started directly, with large impact currents and frequent trips, which will also shorten the life of the water pump motor;
• The farmland is located in a remote location, and manual visits to the site are required every time it is started, stopped, and troubleshooted. The operation and maintenance efficiency is extremely low.

Core parameters

The box protection level is IP65, lightning protection level I, suitable for water pump power 0.75kW~110kW, rated voltage 380V, with three-level protection of overload/short circuit/leakage, and supports Internet of Things remote control.

Our special contribution

• It adopts a fully outdoor waterproof and anti-corrosion box, which can operate stably for a long time in rain, high humidity and salt spray environments;
• Multi-level lightning protection grounding system provides comprehensive protection from the power supply line to the equipment end, reducing the lightning damage rate by 90%;
• Standard soft-start control cabinet, smooth start reduces current impact, and extends the service life of the water pump by 30%;
• The Internet of Things remote control system allows you to start and stop water pumps and receive fault alarms on your mobile phone without having to go to the scene.

Project income

• Economic benefits: The lightning strike equipment damage rate is reduced by 90%, and the average annual equipment replacement and maintenance cost during the rainy season is reduced by more than 10,000 yuan; the life of the water pump is extended by 30%, and the equipment update cost is saved by an average of 25% annually.
• Management benefits: Remote mobile phones can control the start and stop of irrigation, reducing labor costs for the operation and maintenance of thousands of acres of farmland by 60%, without the need for dedicated personnel to be on site; fault alarms are proactively pushed, and the troubleshooting time is shortened from hours to less than 10 minutes.
• Safety benefits: IP65 waterproof + three-level leakage protection, the risk of electric shock safety accidents is reduced to 0, meeting agricultural production safety requirements.
