HI All, I’m being asked to comment about running a 10hp 3 phase well centrifugal pump off of a 30kw single phase generator with a VFD drive. This well pump is located in a tank for fire fighting applications, so its not down a deep well meaning almost no head pressure. And the start time can be quite slow as its not supplying a house/pressure tank.
I”m not an expert on VFD drives, but I figure many of you are. My question, based on the question from the engineer is: 1. is there any issue with running a VFD off of a good quality 30kw brand new Kohler turbo propane generator? The engineer seems to think there is but he won’t say why. i can’t think of any reason at all? This generator is only running this one load, the well pump. jay _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Redwood Alliance Pay optional member dues here: http://re-wrenches.org List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Change listserver email address & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org There are two list archives for searching.
