Installing the Power System
Afimilk MPC is powered by a designated power supply system. It is crucial, for proper
functioning of the meter, that the power supply system feeds the milk meters and their
output apparatuses only.
The power supply consists of the main transformers and cabling.
o Power output of the transformer should be 23–27Vac
o Each Milk Meter requires a power supply of 75VA per milking point. Calculate
transformer size accordingly.
o Power system must employ an isolating type transformer.
> Neither the secondary winding of the transformer nor any of the loads, may be
connected to the ground.
> The transformer must be supplied with suitable circuit breakers.
o Power cables diameter must be sufficient to carry the load without causing power
drops between the first and the last milk meter.
o Afimilk recommends apparatus solenoids of 10watt maximum.
The power supply system must be installed by a qualified electrician.
The installation must be protected by suitable circuit breakers to
international safety codes.
