Motor Control for Irrigation
Effective irrigation relies on precise, dependable control of pumping systems. AuCom offers a complete range of motor control solutions — from soft starters to variable frequency drives (VFDs) and motor protection products — to help irrigation systems operate efficiently, protect critical equipment, and optimise energy use.
Soft starters provide multiple valuable benefits specifically for pumping applications in the irrigation industry, including:
- Prevention of water hammer, prolonging the life of pumps, pipes, valves and headworks
- Minimised pressure surges within pumping systems
- The ability to start additional pumps using the existing electrical supply capacity
- Intelligent control of the entire system, including the option to specify start and stop times
