Zusammenfassung:There is provided an irrigation system and method involving the activation of solenoids. The system may include valves that open to start irrigation and close to stop irrigation and solenoids. Each solenoid may be coupled to a corresponding valve with each solenoid being activated to open its corresponding valve. The system may further include a controller coupled to each solenoid with the controller configured to generate an activation signal to activate each solenoid. In addition, one or more hybrid circuits convert the activation signal to a DC signal for a certain time interval at initiation of the activation signal and then convert it to an AC signal after the predetermined time interval.
