In agriculture, electricity is utilized to control the environment and maintain the life of livestock, poultry, and plants, and to prevent food spoilage, avoid financial loss due to failures in harvesting and sorting, and as security of the farm capital investments.
Introduction
![Page 3: Electrical power systems of machines](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061220/54bb7bc94a79595f4d8b45f3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Equipment required for standby electric power service include
1) an alternator to produce the alternating current, 2) an engine to power the alternator and 3) a transfer switch
![Page 4: Electrical power systems of machines](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061220/54bb7bc94a79595f4d8b45f3/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
There are two types of alternators:
Direct-connected engine driven
Tractor PTO driven
Alternators
![Page 5: Electrical power systems of machines](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061220/54bb7bc94a79595f4d8b45f3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The engine driven units can be started manually or automatically.
Small units are generally portable engine driven and usually are available in sizes from 1 to 7.5 KW
![Page 6: Electrical power systems of machines](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061220/54bb7bc94a79595f4d8b45f3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
(a) Direct-connected engine driven alternator (b)tractor PTO driven alternator.
![Page 7: Electrical power systems of machines](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061220/54bb7bc94a79595f4d8b45f3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The alternator must be matched to the type of electrical service (single or three-phase) and voltage.
Most farm and home electrical systems are single-phase with dual voltages of 120/240 volts.
Some farms and businesses utilize a combination of single-phase and three-phase power.
![Page 8: Electrical power systems of machines](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061220/54bb7bc94a79595f4d8b45f3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Portable engine driven alternator:
![Page 9: Electrical power systems of machines](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061220/54bb7bc94a79595f4d8b45f3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
For the frequency (60 Hz) and voltage to be correct, the alternator must operate at the proper speed (usually 3600 or 1800 revolutions per minute (RPM). For tractor driven units, a gear box is usually included so that the normal operating speed of the tractor will turn the alternator at the proper speed. The alternator should be equipped with a voltmeter to make sure the output voltage is within acceptable limits. Alternators must be protected against overload.
![Page 10: Electrical power systems of machines](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061220/54bb7bc94a79595f4d8b45f3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Make sure voltage falls within the "safe range" as indicated on the voltmeter.
![Page 11: Electrical power systems of machines](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061220/54bb7bc94a79595f4d8b45f3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The engine used to power the alternator must be of the proper size. The engine or tractor should develop at least 2 horsepower for each kilowatt of electric power produced by the alternator. An alternator with a continuous rating of 30 KW would require a minimum 60 horsepower engine.
Mechanical Power Sources
![Page 12: Electrical power systems of machines](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061220/54bb7bc94a79595f4d8b45f3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
To produce 30 KW of electrical power, a power supply of 60
horsepower is required.
![Page 13: Electrical power systems of machines](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061220/54bb7bc94a79595f4d8b45f3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The alternator operated from the power-take-off (PTO) of a tractor has the advantage of lower initial cost and of eliminating the care and maintenance of an additional engine. Trailer or 3-point hitch mountings allow the alternator to be mobile.
Tractor PTO Driven
![Page 14: Electrical power systems of machines](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061220/54bb7bc94a79595f4d8b45f3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
(a) A trailer-mounted alternator(b) a three-point hitch-mounted alternator
![Page 15: Electrical power systems of machines](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061220/54bb7bc94a79595f4d8b45f3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Alternators are designed to operate at a constant fixed speed (RPM); therefore, the tractor must have a tachometer to indicate when the correct speed has been obtained.
![Page 16: Electrical power systems of machines](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061220/54bb7bc94a79595f4d8b45f3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
A standby alternator must be connected to the electrical wiring system in a way that will prevent the accidental connection of the alternator to the utility company's lines. A double-throw transfer switch is the most common method used to connect the alternator to the wiring system
Transfer Switch
![Page 17: Electrical power systems of machines](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061220/54bb7bc94a79595f4d8b45f3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Such a switch eliminates the danger of feedback onto the main lines and the subsequent endangerment to those working on the lines.
It also eliminates the possibility of the alternator being damaged when normal power is restored.
![Page 18: Electrical power systems of machines](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061220/54bb7bc94a79595f4d8b45f3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
A typical manual transfer switch:
![Page 19: Electrical power systems of machines](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061220/54bb7bc94a79595f4d8b45f3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
In special applications where isolated motor loads require emergency power, a simple male-female electrical connection can be used in the absence of the transfer switch. The male-female electrical connection must be installed between the service entrance panel and the motor load.
![Page 20: Electrical power systems of machines](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061220/54bb7bc94a79595f4d8b45f3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
(a) Normally connected circuit; (b) emergency connected alternator circuit
![Page 21: Electrical power systems of machines](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061220/54bb7bc94a79595f4d8b45f3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
![Page 22: Electrical power systems of machines](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061220/54bb7bc94a79595f4d8b45f3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The automatic transfer switch can be used with certain self-contained direct engine driven units to insure continuous uninterrupted electrical power. A remote start-stop switch also can be installed on certain units where the direct engine driven alternator is located away from the desired point of control.
Auxiliary Equipment
![Page 23: Electrical power systems of machines](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061220/54bb7bc94a79595f4d8b45f3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Wiring and equipment must be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code, local ordinances and the requirements of the power supplier.
The size of electrical wire needed to connect the alternator to the transfer switch depends upon the amount of current and the distances the current must be carried.
Installation
![Page 24: Electrical power systems of machines](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061220/54bb7bc94a79595f4d8b45f3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
![Page 25: Electrical power systems of machines](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061220/54bb7bc94a79595f4d8b45f3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The alternator case must be properly grounded to prevent the possibility of electrical shock in the event of a malfunction in equipment.
![Page 26: Electrical power systems of machines](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061220/54bb7bc94a79595f4d8b45f3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
A properly grounded alternator:
![Page 27: Electrical power systems of machines](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061220/54bb7bc94a79595f4d8b45f3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The exhaust of a permanently installed engine-driven alternator should be properly vented to
the outside.
![Page 28: Electrical power systems of machines](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061220/54bb7bc94a79595f4d8b45f3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
If the alternator is to be mounted on a trailer for maximum portability, the trailer must be a heavy-duty type with a rigid mounting platform suitable to handle the weight of the alternator
![Page 29: Electrical power systems of machines](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061220/54bb7bc94a79595f4d8b45f3/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The trailer for an alternator mounting must be heavy-duty with wheels far enough apart to prevent
overturning.
![Page 30: Electrical power systems of machines](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061220/54bb7bc94a79595f4d8b45f3/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The alternator also can be mounted on a three-point hitch platform. When using the PTO alternator with a three-point hitch a special PTO shaft must be used. These shafts are shorter in overall length when compared to the standard PTO drive shaft
![Page 31: Electrical power systems of machines](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061220/54bb7bc94a79595f4d8b45f3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
A special short PTO shaft must be used with a three-point hitch.
