Will this run a well pump that has two 20 ampere breakers for a total of 40 amperes? The pump is a variable speed, submersible.

That depends on what voltage the pump is running at. It could handle 40 amp at 110, but it would require pulling 110 off each leg of the 220. If it draws 40 at 220 it will pop the breaker all the time on start up. You've got a pretty big pump if the latter is the case and you should probably go to a diesel genset.

Your only using 10 of the listed 20 amps, and you would trip the breaker, before the outlet would have any problems. So you good to go.

I'm not sure what the amperage is, we have never had a problem with breakers in the box. We have blown the fuse in the pump.

This generator puts out 120 volts, most deep well pumps are in the well and require 240 volts to operate, if this is the case it will not work, if the pump is above ground check the voltage if it's 120 volt it will work.

The wire gauge is 16. As it only breaks one leg of the circuit, I would recommend that you use an auxiliary 2-pole relay in conjunction with the float switch and the motor.. Yes, the switch is submersible. It has worked well for me.

If the pump is 110-120 volts AC it will work. Anything powered by 110/120 VAC can be used with this meter.

It depends on how much current the pump draws. If it's less then 5.8 amps, it should be good.

The best I can tell you is the amperage used for this pump will vary depending on the psi the unit is set at. At maximum psi (50), it will draw 10.6 Amps, 9.6 Amps at 40 psi, etc.

I would think so. I am using mine for a 1.5HP pump to power a water feature. One word of caution- this timer should be mounted high enough to allow your plug from the pump to be plugged into the bottom of the timer.

If your pump has a speed selector switch on the case then yes it can. But this timer is mainly for single speeds it has no provision for controlling speed.

Unfortunately, your idea doesn't work as described on a 2-wire 220 circuit. That is, unless you use the bare ground as a neutral, and that isn't really too Kosher, although logically I don't know why. It would be nice to see what my submersible well pump, window mount A/C unit and air compressor are using.

It should work for you. However you will be limited to the breakers in transfer. Even though you could switch 15 for a 20 or a 30 amp breaker you are limited in the amount of total breakers. If this unit is equil to what you want to run then you will be ok.

I have the 3 hp motor. It runs on 220 volts and utilizes a 30amp plug. My electrician installed 20 amp breakers and I have had no problems. Unfortunately, there is nothing in the manual that covers this.

No, but as long as the pump is DC powered and it is no more than 0-24 volts (max rated controller voltage) you should be good

The label on the pump says 16 amps. I ran a (probably 12 gauge) wire from our house batteries, under the motorhome, to a heavy duty 12 volt outlet in a compartment near the dump valves. I used a 20 amp inline fuse. The fuse has never blown. My guess is the pump would draw a little less than 15 amps.I apologize for being a "nitpicker". More than 15 amps wouldn't be a "short circuit". A circuit breaker should trip.

I'm not sure, but I would guess that they want a minimum of 100 volts while the pump is running. I just replaced my existing pump (which was larger) and plugged it into the existing receptacle. If the size of the pump is the same or smaller there certainly shouldn't be a problem. If you want to do the exercise, connect a voltmeter to a nearby plug on that circuit and observe the voltage while someone turns the pump on and off.

I am using it as you 25 ft + 50ft for emergency power to a submersible pump water well (220v) security light and power gate opener(110v) no problems
