Reaping Greater Value From Farmland

Reaping Greater Value From Farmland IRRIGATION Miscellaneous AI Industrial PAD mount phase converter facilitates farm irrigation and a more profitable property When Dusty and his father Richard chose to lease out their 30 acres of farmland in Indiana they wanted to get the greatest return possible They knew that one of the best ways to maximize the value of their land would be to irrigate it To do so however they’d need irrigation pumps or pivot towers that require three-phase power - an amenity that many farms like Dusty and Richard’s lack
Paying a hefty sum to have three-phase power installed by the electric company wasn’t their top choice They also didn’t want to be susceptible to the volatility in the cost of running a diesel generator nor to deal with the maintenance of one So Dusty and Richard did some research and found a potential solution in the form of a phase converter
They turned to the American Rotary team who helped them zero in on the right product for the specific needs of their farm: a 150hp American Rotary AI Industrial PAD Mount phase converter with an Autolink system
How A Phase Converter Helped
Durability
With their phase converter setup installed in the middle of a field where the irrigation system is located it needed to withstand strong winds and harsh conditions The converter’s rodent screens prevent mice and other animals from nesting in their units With a lifetime wash down filter the converter is also protected from dust and other particles
Voltage Balance
If just a small portion of a field is not watered equally it could mean thousands of dollars in lost profit due to crop damage However Dusty and Richard don’t have to fear these issues and nor do their tenants Because their phase converter monitors voltage every 50 milliseconds they can rest assured knowing they’re getting precise power at all times

Automated & Wireless Controls
When Dusty and Richard initially contacted American Rotary they explained their situation With an irrigation system that needed to cover 30 acres they didn’t want to travel out to the converter multiple times a day just to turn it on
With the Autolink system for their phase converter they can completely automate the operation Such automation includes wireless remote starting as well as SDDO Start Delay Delay Off timers
The wireless remote starter gives them the option to start their phase converter with the push of a button – and without having to actually travel out to the converter itself When the SDDO timer kit is used they are able to have their phase converter turn on and start running when it is triggered to cycle making for a worry-free automated operating procedure
