Solar Pump Controller
Useful in many geographic locations, solar-powered
pumps are particularly advantageous in remote areas, where there
may not be conventional power to provide ground water. The impressive
CY8C27443 microcontroller-based Solar Pump Controller features
a mixed-signal array that controls a three-phase motor drive
to operate a submersible water pump directly from solar panels.
The powerful PSoC microcontroller provides three-phase PWM generation,
signal conditioning, over-current and fault protection, temperature
monitoring, and constant voltage-to-frequency control. Additionally,
the CY8C27443 MCU maximizes the power from the solar array.
The result is a robust, low-cost, highly efficient controller.
