ELECTRICAL SAFETY STATEMENT
Installation of the Valley Electric Irrigation Machine - European Union Only
Valmont Industries Inc. does not install a differential (ground fault) circuit breaker in the control panel of the
Valley electric irrigation machine because the standards of protection vary according to country of destination.
The distributor must provide and install a differential (ground fault) circuit breaker that meets the standards of
the country where the Valley irrigation machine is installed.
In the European Union, differential circuit breaker protection is fixed at a maximum of 24 volts.
Good grounding of the Valley irrigation machine is required.
• If resistance to ground is lower than 80 ohms, a differential (ground fault) circuit breaker of 300 mA will meet
requirements.
• If resistance to ground is between 80 and 800 ohms, a differential (ground fault) circuit breaker of 30 mA will
meet requirements.
The power supply installation and inspection of equipment protection components or systems are the respon-
sibility of the installer. Valmont Industries, Inc. is not responsible for the failure of equipment protection compo-
nents or systems not of their manufacture.
Valley pivot irrigation machines receiving power from a generator must have a cable connected from the irriga-
tion machine structure to a ground rod and another cable from the irrigation machine structure to the ground
terminal on generator in order for the differential (ground fault) circuit breaker to work.
The linear irrigation machines equipped with a generator are not equipped with a ground rod but must have a
cable connected from the linear irrigation machine structure to the ground terminal of the generator in order for
the differential (ground fault) circuit breaker to work.
• The resistance between the irrigation machine and the generator must be substantially below 80 ohms.
