Main Supply Requirements
The SP1500 hydraulic pump has a single phase motor with a power of 1.8 kW. It generally requires the use of autonomous generators because the applications of this machine are usually in the field, with no connection to the mains supply.
Because of the peak in power consumption that occurs during the starting up process, a minimum power of 16 kVA is required; 20-30 kVA generators, that provide a more stable service, are usually used for this kind of applications.
Bear in mind that the length of cable used to connect the pump is a determining factor in applications for the wind power sector, as it normally exceeds 80 meters from the power supply to the pump. The voltage drop must be limited, as it can cause malfunction of the pump. Check the following table for advice on the section of power cable recommended for keeping the voltage drop below 5%:
Cable length (m) | Standard Section(mm2) |
|---|---|
15 | 4 |
25 | 6 |
50 | 10 |
75 | 16 |
100 | 25 |
125 | 25 |
150 | 25 |
