Increasing the reliability of the power supply agro-industrial complex

The purpose of the work. To increase the reliability of power supply to the enterprises of the agro-industrial complex. Materials and methods. For this purpose, the categories of reliability of power supply would be considered. The time of power supply interruption for each category is determined. It is considered which agricultural enterprises belong to all available categories of reliability. An economic calculation was carried out to assess the material damage from power outages. As a result of the calculation, it was found that even a short interruption in power supply leads to large monetary losses. The results of the study. Based on this, it was concluded that in order to avoid interruptions in the power supply, it is necessary to use two independent power sources with automatic switching of the load to the undamaged line. A block diagram has been compiled that determines the feasibility of installing two independent power sources for an enterprise.
