That looks great - nice and clean, well done.

3hp pump, correct. Yeah I'd have to figure out where and how to mount this all. I guess that was the once nice part about the smaller 6kw bricks .. much easier to mount. But I'd also need to account for non-flammable backing material, wires, breakers/fuses and all the rest, too. I wish they...

@kjgee I looked up the specs on the XW Pro 6848 and it seems to be 6kw continuous and 12kw surge. I don't know if you measured your inrush, but at 865' deep (wow) your pumps is literally 10x as far down as mine is. If there's a 240*55A=13,200W inrush on my pump it's got to be even more for...

@PreppenWolf Okay so I looked up the manuals for the control box which on page 36 of this PDF says However, that was under a section for 3 phase motors, specifically whereas mine is a single phase (three wire) so it may not apply. I'm reaching out to see what more info I can get though, but it...

@PreppenWolf That's good to hear, I'm curious why others had mentioned something about surge issues, but I assume I would have heard more about it if it was really an issue. @BentleyJ Soft starter would be nice though I'd like to get some confirmation that it wouldn't cause issues. I forget...

I'm looking at creating a battery bank capable of powering a large inductive load, specifically a 3hp well pump for which I've measured an inrush current of 55A at 240v. These low frequency inverter chargers are described as being well suited for such a load and can surge up to 18,000W for 20...
