Ok I see. That sounds reasonable.
It's been a long time since being here, I remember talking about running my system (Goulds j10s 1hp) on small inverter generator. With hurricane Erma hitting here I finally got around to testing with small inverter generators. Everything I had read & heard in the past stated I would need at least a 5000 watt generator.
To remind all that had read my past posts my inverter generators are only 115v. I switched the pump switch from 220v to 115v & ran 40 feet of 10 gauge to a 2000 Honda companion paralled with another Honda 2000 & it started & ran the pump with no problem whatsoever. The first test was with the eco mode turned off so the gens were allready spooled up. The second test was with the eco modes turned on so the generators were basicaly at idle when the pumped kicked on & believe it or not the gens barely spooled up above idle and ran the pump with no problems whatsoever.
I then tried running the gens with eco mode on, all pressure bled off the system & manually triped the pressure switch on. The gens did spool up a little this time but didn't push hard at all to start & run the pump. This was going so well I thought I would try only one of the 2000's & 0 pressure in the system.
She would start the pump for appx 4 seconds with some difficulty then gen would tripp out. I felt that my yamaha 2400ishc would do the job probably just barely & am even more confident that my Honda eu3000is will do it just dont have the time to test right now, have a lot to do around here trees down etc. next time power is out I will start with the Yamaha 2400ishc. I have a couple videos below hope they can be posted you know how bad I am at trying to post images and have never done videos so here goes. Ok I have tried to upload the videos of the Hondas running the pump but keep getting a message that any and all of them are too large. If anyone has a way they can teach me to get around that I will try or if you want I can send them in a private pm which I think is just an email which should work. Erma did some damage & flooding around here, at least I have water & electricity which is a very big blessing.
