560 kW VFD Drive Panels for Salem Water Board
We specialize in delivering powerful automation and control solutions for industrial and infrastructure needs. One of our proudest achievements was the successful execution of a government project for the Salem Water Board, where we designed and commissioned high-capacity 560 kW VFD panels to support large-scale water pumping operations.
🔧 Project Overview
The project involved the design, fabrication, and commissioning of three custom-built VFD panels, each rated at 560 kW. These panels are engineered to manage heavy-duty pump motors used in municipal water supply systems.
To ensure reliable operation, we integrated a Delta PLC and HMI setup, enabling centralized control, real-time monitoring, and robust safety interlocks.
⚙️ Key Technologies Used
- High-Capacity VFDs
Used to control large pump motors, enabling energy-efficient speed variation and soft starting/stopping. - Delta PLC
The core automation controller responsible for sequencing, interlock logic, and system coordination. - Delta HMI
Provides an intuitive interface for operators to monitor system performance, acknowledge alarms, and control parameters in real-time. - Safety Interlocks
All critical safety logic was implemented through PLC programming to prevent equipment damage and ensure operator safety during abnormal conditions.
🚀 Project Outcome
The result is a rugged, intelligent VFD control system that delivers:
• Stable and efficient operation of water pumps
• Real-time diagnostics and monitoring
• Comprehensive protection with fault prevention logic
• Smooth integration with field sensors and feedback systems
💧 Application & Impact
This project significantly improved the Salem Water Board’s operational efficiency by automating one of their most energy-intensive processes—large-scale water pumping. Our solution not only optimizes power usage but also ensures safer and smarter system operation.
