I need some actual off-grid experience some of you wrenches may have had
with with a (or 2) Radian(s) starting and running a 3HP, 230Volt, single
phase, 3-wire submersible well pump. It would be starting against a
50-100 foot static level in the well and a pressure in the pressure tank
of 35psi.
Yesterday I clamped a 2 HP well pump and during start up
got an inrush current on a Fluke of 38 amps (both legs), which was
against 200 feet of water column and 40psi in the tank. Unfortunately, I
need a 3HP pump for this install. I've read specs on all sorts of data
sheets, running amps, max amps,locked rotor amps, but I need real world
knowledge. What do we know?
