Biggara Dairy
Prior to Christmas 2023, Fuseco was asked to visit a dairy in the remote highlands of Victoria with Peter Bulle from CoGen Plus. Due to the remoteness of the site, access to clean reliable power was a major concern. Peter enlisted Fuseco’s help to find a solution that would offer his customer optimal performance and profitability. Fuseco recommended installing two Continuum ChargeMaster 10kVA double conversion UPS systems to counter the supply issues.

Prior to Christmas 2023, Fuseco was asked to visit a dairy in the remote highlands of Victoria with Peter Bulle from CoGen Plus. Due to the remoteness of the site, access to clean reliable power was a major concern. Peter enlisted Fuseco’s help to find a solution that would offer his customer optimal performance and profitability. Fuseco recommended installing two Continuum ChargeMaster 10kVA double conversion UPS systems to counter the supply issues.
The Challenge
The four state-of-the-art milking robots are designed in Europe where network supply distances are less challenging.
The supply voltage for the robots is 400V three-phase for the motor control and 220V single-phase for the control circuitry.
The poor voltage regulation, high supply line impedances, and interference from other machinery located in the area create voltage and noise levels that exceed acceptable limits. Together, with occasional interruptions and transients, the overall reliability was reduced.
The robots required regular manual resets by the customer.
The Solution
Two Continuum ChargeMaster Double Conversion UPS systems were supplied.
Each UPS provides power to two robots, adding an extra level of redundancy and security.
The UPS output voltage is a pure sinewave and is maintained at the optimal voltage and frequency, independent of the incoming supply.
The Outcome
Over the Christmas break, several power outages occurred with no interruptions or faults reported.
The installation of the UPS systems represented a major improvement, increasing productivity and revenue for the site.
Both Peter and the dairy client are pleased with the result.

My client purchased four robots to milk cows 24/7. At the start of the project, I asked the OEM - “How quickly will the robots reboot/reset after an outage? You should know that we get outages all the time and that we get voltage swings with all the PV”. OEM - No answer. It was then decided to install two 10kVA UPS systems to fill the gap between an outage and the backup diesel generator supporting the customer’s load. Fuseco, a specialist in this area, were a great help in producing a solution for the split phase 480VAC system.
