When a VFD is installed with a pump, what happens if the valve for one irrigation zone is closed and another is open?
What do you need to control to achieve high efficiency in all types of irrigation?
Can a VFD be used as an over-frequency drive when pump performance needs to be increased?
Which of the following is not an essential parameter to achieve high uniformity in sprinkler irrigation?
What does a VFD do?
Fill in the blank with the correct option: Installing a VFD with a pivot ensures that the _______ at the sprinklers remain constant, thereby maintaining high irrigation uniformity.
Test results
Congratulations. You have passed the test and completed the 16 - Monitoring and controls
Achieved badges:
Q: When a VFD is installed with a pump, what happens if the valve for one irrigation zone is closed and another is open?
A: A pressure sensor notifies the VFD to reduce the pressure, and thereby the speed of the pump.
Q: When a VFD is installed with a pump, what happens if the valve for one irrigation zone is closed and another is open?
A: The pressure decreases in the zone that is open.
Q: When a VFD is installed with a pump, what happens if the valve for one irrigation zone is closed and another is open?
A: The power consumption increases by almost 50% compared with both zones open.
Q: What do you need to control to achieve high efficiency in all types of irrigation?
A: Energy
Q: What do you need to control to achieve high efficiency in all types of irrigation?
A: Irrigation time
Q: What do you need to control to achieve high efficiency in all types of irrigation?
A: Flow and pressure
Q: Can a VFD be used as an over-frequency drive when pump performance needs to be increased?
A: Yes
Q: Can a VFD be used as an over-frequency drive when pump performance needs to be increased?
A: No
Q: Can a VFD be used as an over-frequency drive when pump performance needs to be increased?
A: Yes, but only if the motor has enough reserve power
Q: Which of the following is not an essential parameter to achieve high uniformity in sprinkler irrigation?
A: Water temperature
