Ok all you whiz kids, bozos, & bolos:
If I have a septic lift pump [off grid ouch] at 1HP/240 vac/8-amps to meet all the usual state required overkill in septic design & a ½ HP/240 vac/4.9-amp pump would do the same job but it will take 10% more time to dose 800 gallons. Powered by an 8 KW Outback Radian inverter. >From a load point of view and a 240-volt 3 phase wild AC well pump limiting the overall surge and general wattage is the smartest move, but; Which pump will use less overall power? We are using 240 volt to utilize both inverters and drop the load on either half of the Radian inverter. Is there a smarter lift pump to use? ECM motor? Permanent magnet? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dana Orzel Great Solar Works, Inc. 208.721.7003 [email protected] Idaho Contractor - # 028765 Idaho PV # 028374 NABCEP # 051112-136 www.solarwork.biz "Responsible Technologies for Responsible People since 1988" P Please consider the environment before printing this email. _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Redwood Alliance List Address: [email protected] Change listserver email address & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out or update participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org
