Can I use this on a Sump Pump with 6.4 amp?

I am not an expert since I have only used my 1500 watt Wagan with my travel trailer. I used it with a 1300 watt (approx. 11 amps) coffee maker and a 900 watt (approx. 7.5 amps) toaster (separately) and it worked just fine. Your Sump Pump should only be using about 800 watts which is well within the limits of this inverter. Just be sure to keep it dry. Probably your best information is to contact wagan.com. They are good at replying each time I have had a question.

No I do not believe so - I use mine on my boat with 4 - 12 volt batteries and it works great -- 6 volt batteries should require less amperage. So it should be more than sufficient. Bill G

I would go to blue sea's tech department and ask them. Since it is for a 48 volt inverter i would assume the amp draw won't be to high and it should be OK but if there was some kind of short it could quickly overload the system and cause a fire/damage best to check with the manufacture on this one

I am not sure,I did buy it to use with my 1/2 HP,but I checked the amps on my pump first. I havent tried it yet

6V is within the range of 5-24V, so it should be okay to drive it with a 6V power supply. If your fountain pump is running on a 6V DC power (not AC), then I would assumed that it will work fine.

Myrle - I don't see why not; The only question is how many amps the pump draws. The standard Deltek pigtail that connects to the battery and thisplug has an integral standard 10 amp fuse block, but it could be easily replaced with a 15 or 20 if you needed to.

The manufacturer doesn't provide a flow rating for 6' for this model. They stop at 4' so I'd guess it's not recommended for your application.

If your pump runs off a 12 volt battery or 6 volt { standard automotive battery} it will work just fine

I cannot say for sure since I don't know enough about your pump, but I think it would work. I use this to control the speed of a 12V, 6A motor and it works very well.

It depends on the draw of the pump. If the pump does not draw more than the 6 or 15 amps (depending on the model you purchase) then you should be good.

probably not. the APS will provide power for about 30 minutes. It would be useful only if your sump pump needs to run continuously or your house power is out for an extended period of time. You would be better served by investing in a generator. This would provide house power for as long as the gasoline holds out and it will provide power for your refrigerator, lights, microwave, TV, etc. as well as the sump pump.

I have it on a circuit breaker for my sump pump which was checked by the company that checks my basement. It's fine and has worked. Thank goodness. Just don't allow it to get wet, mine got wet and it ruined it but wasn't the fault of mine, it was the plumber's mistake.

Yes, that will work. Be mindful that you don't try to run it through 3/4 for more than a few feet though. It's a great little pump!

We tried using a sump pump but, after awhile, it would trip the breaker and stop working. Now we have a Tera 3600 pond pump. So far it's working great!

My pump has metal male connection, therefore I think you can. I have pvc pipe, therefore my connections match existing pipe. Thread size will probably need to be matched of course.

I don't see why not, but it wouldn't use a high amp setting, the terminals are not designed for heavy power flow.

I think it would work for a much longer outage than that. I'm not sure what your pump is rated in gpm vs. basepump gpm, but as long as they're close, you should be fine.
