I have a 3hp submersible & a Duromax XP5500HX generator, the pump motor is Franklin 3hp, 3wire, 230v, 2.2 kw, 1 phase 60hz.
Pump is 450 feet deep, static water level 140 feet, 84 gallon bladder tank. Info for pump motor states
• Full Load ( Amps / Watts ): 10 Amps / 670 Watts
• Starting / Maximum ( Amps / Watts ): 12 Amps / 960 Watts
• Locked Rotor Amperage: 64.4 Amps
Am concerned about the generator starting the pump. The generator has 25 starting amps at 220v.
Am hoping that the capacitor in pump control box will give the initial amps to get past the LRA of 64.4 amps.
This generator was starting & running a 1 1/2 hp pump at the pervious stated depth & didn't even grunt down doing it at startup am hoping it will work on the new 3hp. Your input is greatly appreciated.
