How about looking into a more efficient pump first? Todd On Saturday, April 16, 2011 8:00pm, "Darryl Thayer" <[email protected]> said:
That is 480 x 1.73 x40 A x.8 or 26 kW in the peak of the day, five or 6 big trackers, or about 50 kW of fixed array. ( I assure they want 40 amp breaker? I have run 3 phase speed drives from solar array directly into the DC Bus of the speed drive. But it is best if it has a gen support. No need to invert just DC from array to speed drive and generator is auto loaded. If the solar can take the entire load, the gen does no work.

He tells me they need 480vac 3 phase at 40A. Is that even possible? I did not believe it would be.
