Hi Kurt, A very good idea. Do you know how much more efficient the 3 phase is vs the single? Thanks, jay peltz power On Jun 24, 2010, at 10:41 AM, Kurt Albershardt wrote: > Once you determine the real pump requirements (as others have mentioned, this > is critical - IME particularly if the

Chris, We deal with deep wells routinely. Recently we installed a GTWB system for a very enjoyable retired couple. Their needs included the goat milker, sheep barn, two freezers and a fridge, and irrigation well pump, with the system sized for continuous operation in the event of a long-term (

We've done a few set ups with storage cisterns too. While it definitely takes the load off the inverters, it has some downsides: 1) if the genie goes down, you are out of water, which is worse than being out of electricity. 2) Even the best cisterns filled from a clean water source, get nasty aft

We designed and installed a few off grid systems out west about 10 years ago and found all the wells there drill halfway to China.  Since here in Virginia most wells hit quality water at 30 feet, we know there was no way the single SW4048 could handle a 2 or 3 HP pump.  So we installed a 300 gallon

I've run a 3 Hp pump on a pair of Outback inverters, but it's not a done deal. As the pumps age, they start getting stickier (read more start up current needed to get them going) and wells often have silt which builds up in the pipe and pump, adding to the start up surge. I recently had a system

Hello offgrid Wrenches, I just inherited an off grid system with one VFX3524 inverter running the home loads, and a 17kW Guardian Generac they use for charging (through an X-240 back into the inverter) & to run their Franklin 3hp 240 VAC well pump, S. F. max amp 17.0 ( rated on its controller) Th
