I.Introduction

The water supply automatic control system is working while the equipment is detecting the pressure change caused by water consumption change of water supply network through high sensitive pressure sensor installed on water supply network, which can constantly transmit change signals to inverter. The inverter will send signal to change frequency after comparing the result calculated by micro-computer and the setting pressure value.

The controller can change rotate speed and decide the using number of water pump. It can automatically adjust water supply volume at peak and valley to ensure that the water supply network pressure is constant so as to satisfy water demand of users.

II. Control Requests

This paper will illustrate the control demand of INVT GD200A series inverter applied in a constant pressure water supply plant. This is shown in figure 2. And the specific control requests are as follows:

● The system requires 2 sets of 4kw inverter to control pump to achieve constant pressure water supply, which one inverter can control up to three pumps. The requests to inverter are as follows:

a) PID control can achieve constant water supply pressure.

b) One inverter can drive 2 to 3 pumps. In this way, the investment of equipment can be reduced and the automatic switch between variable frequency pump and power frequency pump can be achieved.

c) G / P syncretic function are flexible for different loads to switch.

d) Strong overloads capacity and stable operation.

e) Compact and easy installation.
