SunPumps PCA-60-M1 Pump Controller, 1/2 HP, 30-60 Volts DC

PCA-60-M1 Pump Controller, 1/2 HP, 30-60 Volts DC

Sunpumps PCA series pump controllers are high quality, micro-processor contolled DC power converters designed as the interface between a DC powered pump and the power source. The main purpose of a PC series controller is to maximize the total daily water delivery while providing protection for the pump as well as the power source.

One of the features of a pump controller is to boost the current of solar modules in low sunlight conditions while holding the voltage of the solar modules around the maxmimum power point. This allows a pump to start earlier in the morning and stay running longer in the evening.

All PC series controllers include a pump speed control circuit, a remote switch circuit, a sensor-less low water cut-off circuit, an electronic circuit breaker and indicator lights.

Controller Features:
1. Current boosting for matching the load requirements of the pump.
2. Voltage regulation of the solar electric array at its maximum power point.
3. Over-current protection via integrated electronic circuit breaker.
4. Reverse polarity protection (10 amperes maximum) on the input terminals.
5. Voltage and current limiting to pump motor.
6. Transient protection and surge suppression.
7. Adjustable pump motor voltage control for precision output flow.
8. Adjustable input voltage for system optimization or solar modules.
9. System ON/OFF switch.

This will also work for most other DC pumps rated for 24 to 48 volts.
