 Howdy Wrenches,

I've an off grid client with virtually no loads save a 240 vac 3/4 hp
pump.  We are talking DC solar pumps, but out of curiosity what inverter
will for sure run that pump? DR2412 or 2424? DR3624?  I've heard stories
of the fx2000 being under rated and having healthy surge capacities, any
one try to run a 3/4 hp pump on it?  Oh, and assume a 120/240 tformer to
get the voltage....

Hey Wes,

Any of the DR's you list should do it.  Haven't worked with the fx2000.
The well pump's pressure switch should be wired in between the inverter
and the Tformer so it doesn't become a phantom load.  You are switching
twice the current at 120vac so I usually parallel the two-pole contacts
that a standard pressure switch comes with.

Good luck -- Kurt
