Applications Valve Actuation

Solar Powered 480VAC Motor & Valve Actuator

Solar power is ideal for powering 480VAC motors and valve actuators at remote sites. Solar power is clean, reliable, and cost-effective.

Applications:

  • Rupture Mitigation Valves (RMVs)  
  • Electric Motor Driven Valve Actuators
  • Electric Motor Driven Air Compressors
  • Instrument Air Pneumatic Valve Actuators
  • Pumps, Lifts, Fans, Conveyors
  • Centrifugal Compressors

How Our UPS Systems for Valve Actuators Work

Solarcraft's UPS systems for valve actuators combine solar power, battery storage, and advanced power electronics to deliver reliable energy where utility power is unavailable or cost-prohibitive. The system operates as follows:

1. Solar Power Collection

High-efficiency solar panels convert sunlight into electrical energy, charging deep-cycle AGM or LiFePO4 batteries to maintain consistent power availability day and night.

2. Battery Storage & UPS Switching

Batteries store energy and provide uninterruptible power to critical equipment. 

3. Power Output to Motors and Actuators

The integrated control system delivers clean single-phase or three-phase power to actuators and motors.

4. Integration with RTUs and Control Devices

The system supplies power to all sub-system components, including RTUs, PLCs, communications equipment, and instrumentation, within a single rugged enclosure or shelter.

Key Benefits

of solar power
  • Input: Solar panels and battery bank, utility line power, or a hybrid of both
  • Output: 120VAC or 240VAC Single-Phase;
    240VAC Split Phase; 208VAC, 400VAC, 480VAC 3-Phase
  • For Valve Actuators and Electric Motors up to 90 horsepower
  • Proven Deep-cycle AGM Technology Batteries; LiFePO4 for special applications.
  • The single system can integrate and power all sub-system components – including RTUs/PLCs, Communications, and other devices.
  • Housed in a rugged purpose-built Solarcraft Type 3R-4X enclosure, shelter, or switch rack, simplifying field installation and maintenance.
  • Skid bases available for large enclosures, walk-in shelters, and multiple-panel solar arrays eliminate the delays of pouring concrete pads.
  • Ideal for new EPA regulations and IRA rules on methane reduction and waste emission charges
  • 5-Year Warranty on materials and workmanship
THE POWER OF QUALITY

About Our System

Rupture Mitigation Valves (RMVs) are critical to controlling and maintaining pipelines by isolating sections of the line for maintenance and repair. Installed along a pipeline every twenty to thirty miles, valve stations are often in remote areas far from utility line power. In an emergency, pipeline sections can be shut down to stop the flow of products quickly and safely.

New regulations require specific key valve locations to activate an RMV within 30 minutes of a verified drop in pressure. To send a service technician to operate a valve at a site in less than 30 minutes is not always possible.

Solarcraft’s proven success powering three-phase 480VAC remote valve actuators with solar power and batteries has been a game changer. In those locations, solar power is a cost-effective, reliable solution that saves technicians time and ensures valves are operational immediately. In some situations, installing solar power is the most expedient solution because utility companies cannot install new lines quickly.
