VFDs in Agriculture Irrigation Applications

Customers rely on Yaskawa’s family of iQpump drives for critical pumping applications. The iQpump1000 is your total pumping solution for whatever your system demands, while maintaining the simple pump terminology and programming customers have come to expect. Enjoy benefits including pump control, water conservation, increased energy savings, reduced maintenance costs, extended pump longevity and more. For these reasons, the iQpump1000 is the industry leading agricultural irrigation variable frequency drive. Don’t take it from us, here is what our customers have to say:
iQpump Family

“Better quality & functionality.”

“Yaskawa keeps programming familiar and simple.”

“Builds a better drive. Simple to work on. Technical Support is far better. Distributor is always there to help.”

“The iQpump system allows us to use a single drive by itself, without a PLC, to operate a single pump or a multiple pump system. User friendly and easy to use.”

Products

Yaskawa’s family of iQpump drives offers a wide variety of package options and the most advanced comprehensive pump and motor protection in the industry; while still maintaining ease of setup and diagnostics designed for pump operators and service technicians. Our goal is to ensure that the pump is operating at the best efficiency point, saving energy & decreasing life-cycle costs. Consider these benefits:

  • Reduce your carbon footprint to the environment
  • Precisely control all of your water usage to reduce excess fertilization and water runoff
  • Increase total pump system efficiency while reducing maintenance costs
  • Application programming macros allow for easy commissioning by user

Standard Drives

  • iQpump1000 - Designed with pump service operators and pump system owners in mind, the iQpump1000 offers ease of setup and comprehensive pump and motor protection features.
  • iQpump Micro – Offers many of the same comprehensive iQpump software and control features in a compact, low-cost design.
  • U1000 iQpump – Combines many of the same comprehensive iQpump software and control features along with industry leading low harmonic performance. The perfect drive for achieving IEEE 519 compliance.

Packages for Any Environment

  • iQpump1000 Bypass - The iQpump1000 Bypass package provides an iQpump1000 in a UL Type 1, UL Type 12, or UL Type 3R enclosure, with space for several commonly used options.
  • iQpump1000 Configured – Designed for tough industrial environments, the iQpump1000 Configured package provides an iQpump1000 in a UL Type 1, UL Type 12, or UL Type 3R enclosure, with space for several commonly used options.
  • U1000 iQpump Configured – The configured package provides a U1000 iQpump drive containing an input disconnect switch and space for several power options inside a UL Type 3R enclosure.
  • Single Phase Converter (SPC) - Three phase power is scarce in many parts of rural America, but the need for three phase motor control is real. Many solutions exist such as static phase conversion, rotational phase conversion, and derating standard three phase variable frequency drives. Each of those solutions comes with trade-offs such as frequent tuning, reliability issues, or harmonics stressing transformers. The SPC eliminates those problems by changing single phase AC power into DC power for Yaskawa's variable frequency drive families.

Effects on Pump Drive Applications

What are harmonics and why are they important in pump drive applications? Drives Segment Marketing Manager, Greg Weichman explains all of this and more in his Groundwater Week presentation, “Harmonics - Effects on Pump Drive Applications”.
