VFDs in Agriculture Irrigation Applications

Customers rely on Yaskawa’s family of iQpump drives for critical pumping applications. The iQpump 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 iQpump 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

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”.

Download now to explore how Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) make water pumping more efficient and effective. In addition, he reviews VFDs inherent harmonics, covering definitions, what can happen when harmonics are left unchecked, how IEEE 519 helps power companies and users ensure safe limits to harmonics, and what solutions exist today to mitigate harmonics.
