2500 watt inverter and well pump [RE-wrenches]

[Allan Sindelar]

John,
While I agree with the others about a washing machine swap--the Maytag
top-loader is the reputed king of the inverter-killer washer surge loads--I
would expect the Outback FX2024 to handle it and a 1/3 HP well pump easily.
The beta FX2024 we have been testing has so far handled everything we have
tried to start with it, no burps. And the sizes are equivalent, so it should
be a pretty easy swap. The SW4024 requires larger cables, including battery
cables, larger overcurrent protection, larger AC wiring, etc.
