"Ensuring Slew Drive Motor Safety: Advanced Current Protection in GF Solar Tracker Controllers

To ensure the current safety of the slew drive motor in our Solar Tracker Controller, GF has implemented a series of advanced control and monitoring mechanisms:

  1. Current Monitoring and Protection Mechanism
    The controller continuously monitors the motor's current levels. If the current exceeds a safe threshold, the controller triggers overload protection, automatically reducing the current or stopping motor operation to prevent damage from overloading.

  2. Intelligent Current Adjustment
    GF's controller features an intelligent current adjustment algorithm that adapts the motor's current output based on real-time load conditions (such as wind speed and tilt changes). This ensures the current remains within a safe range, avoiding unnecessary power consumption.

  3. Start-Up Current Limiting
    At motor start-up, the controller limits the instantaneous current to prevent damaging current surges. This design extends the motor's lifespan and enhances overall system reliability.

  4. Fault Diagnostics and Alert System
    If abnormal current levels are detected, the system immediately triggers an alert and notifies maintenance personnel via a remote monitoring platform, enabling quick intervention. Additionally, the controller logs any abnormal current data for future analysis and prevention of similar issues.

  5. Automatic Shut-Down Mechanism
    Under extreme conditions, the controller automatically activates a shut-down protocol to prevent damage from excessive current. This mechanism effectively protects the motor without requiring manual intervention.

Through these measures, GF's Solar Tracker Controller provides a reliable, efficient solution for ensuring the current safety of the slew drive motor, extending motor lifespan and enhancing overall system stability.
