I need some actual off-grid experience some of you wrenches may have had 
with with a (or 2) Radian(s) starting and running a 3HP, 230Volt, single 
phase, 3-wire submersible well pump.  It would be starting against a 
50-100 foot static level in the well and a pressure in the pressure tank 
of 35psi.

             Yesterday I clamped a 2 HP well pump and during start up 
got an inrush current on a Fluke of 38 amps (both legs), which was 
against 200 feet of water column and 40psi in the tank. Unfortunately, I 
need a 3HP pump for this install.  I've read specs on all sorts of data 
sheets, running amps, max amps,locked rotor amps, but I need  real world 
knowledge.  What do we know?
