I'm installing well pump and contracted the installation to the local specialist company. They're suggesting a 10kva genset. Looking over the spec of the pumps they're suggesting I noticed that the three phase startup power for the smallest 3HP pump is 415V * 26A = 10.7kW.
According to this website I need an 11.3kVA genset for DOL start http://www.dieselserviceandsupply.co...alculator.aspx
They were suggesting the same genset for a 5.5HP pump which the website suggests needs min 21kVA for direct online start.
Comments welcome.
