You have shored up my basic understanding of the hybrid inverter and having options is strategic to thriving and surviving which is evident in what you teach. I get the common sense approach especially with battery, solar, variable rates and throw in seasonal fluctuations that eventually bring...

I owe you a correction. Yes my well pump is what I described, but I failed to reason that real pump load occurs only if any of my A/C's are running. As it stands no A/C's are on my transfer switches, so the pump won't be called on for that and the generator wouldn't be tasked. Your post along...

Most residential well pumps are 1 hp or less, but mine is actually 2.3 hp (1.73 KW) at max output used in conjunction with my 4 water source heat pump systems. So, that does up the shared load factor.

Wow! In my (keep in mind that I'm still riding the generator learning curve) deep search for generator to inverter conversion it was stumbling onto the 'hybrid inverter' that looked to me might have the potential effect, at least, to accomplish what I'm after. Do I read you right - that you...

Just now seeing this one. True that ref VFD pump controller - it's a dream alternative to the conventional pump tank ... pump ON @ 40 psi - pump OFF @ 60 psi constant cycling along with power surge that eventually killed my original submerged pump. Now we enjoy continuous 60 psig, the pump...

Jack-up rigs GOM, North Sea, Aramco and production mostly GOM - Absolutely the best of the best to work with - an honor and privilege. Also, land-based prime power, etc. including waste heat recovery - tropical and sub-tropical - all time zones. Who needs sleep? New information: Barn and...

Good question. My plan is to wire a 'double take off' 6/3 AWG from L1 and L3 plus neutrals. The run to the barn transfer switch is only about 6 feet which will terminate at the 30A twist male plug (L1a - L3a - Na). The barn transfer switch has: 2 @ 120 VAC circuits (L1) for dedicated outlets...

You are spot on about the TM's. In fact, I downloaded the TM for my 803a before I ponied up at the auction site. It is certainly a detailed read, but your first comment about driving critical electronics makes perfect sense and is music to my virtual ears confirming my intuitive sense that...

That is very true and, of course, I am counting on 1 phase @ 120 & 240 VAC / 60 hz only. The only animals in my barn are my hunting dog and myself, because the top 900 sq ft is my office and down below are where the toys live that maintain this spread and are maintained by me in my shop. So...

After evaluating my emergency backup power options deep in hurricane country I concluded that diesel is king for my 10KW demand to be split between two existing 5KW manual transfer switches (about 80 ft apart - house & barn) that were originally powered by separate, always problematic portable...
