3: When a VFD is installed with a pump, what happens if the valve for one irrigation zone is closed and other is open?
A pressure sensor notifies the VFD to reduce the pressure, and thereby speed of the pump.
3: When a VFD is installed with a pump, what happens if the valve for one irrigation zone is closed and other is open?
The pressure decreases in the zone that is open.
3: When a VFD is installed with a pump, what happens if the valve for one irrigation zone is closed and other is open?
The power consumption increases by almost 50% compared with both zones open.
