    Titan Solar Battery VS 1/2 hp 120v Well Pump

    Another Titan Support Comment: "We are still developing the 2.0. We expected it to be released by now, but ran into a few issues that needed to be resolved first. We estimate the first of next year, but that will depend on how things go. Also we were not able to make the original Titan...

    Titan Solar Battery VS 1/2 hp 120v Well Pump

    What Titan Tech Support said" "Yes 66 amps is too high for a 3,000 watt inverter, even though it is only for 300 to 400 milliseconds. The inverter probably never gets the pump going, because it can't handle the startup load. If the continuous load is only 1500 watts, it would probably run it...

    Where did you buy your pump? Is your type the one below? https://www.waterpumpsdirect.com/Grundfos-Pumps-96160209-Water-Pump/p80373.html

    Titan Solar Battery VS 1/2 hp 120v Well Pump

    I just asked Franklin Pumps what is the draw of their 1/2 hp 5 gpm 110 volt Franklin pump and their answer was 66 amps for 300 to 400 milliseconds. Titan support says anything over 25 amps is too much. So it appears I should have asked to have that 1/2HP 120V Grundfos well pump installed instead.

    Titan Solar Battery VS 1/2 hp 120v Well Pump

    The meter I have seems to overload at around 2300 watts. Anyone have know of a meter that goes to 3k or above? And my pump is a 1/2 hp 5 gpm 110 volt Franklin pump

    Titan Solar Battery VS 1/2 hp 120v Well Pump

    Here is what Titan Support says. Does it make sense? "Water pumps usually are too much to handle for a 3000W inverter. They may also have a surge that is higher than 6000W which the Titan would be unable to handle, even though it is a 120v water pump. We always test our Titan units before...

    Titan Solar Battery VS 1/2 hp 120v Well Pump

    Well I got a wattage meter and I found that when I hooked it up and started up the pump the titan hit 2163 watts and then did the 5 beeps and shut off. So this unit I have even though they say has a 3k inverter doesn't appear to actually take any where close to 3k draw. I am going to call the...

    Titan Solar Battery VS 1/2 hp 120v Well Pump

    I tried to run the pump off the normal 120 out and received 5 beeps which tech support told me was a notice that the draw was too much for the Titan. So I bought a 30 amp to standard house plug (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CTFTVX3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and...

    Titan Solar Battery VS 1/2 hp 120v Well Pump

    I am trying to find if the Titan Solar Battery can run an 1/2 hp 120v Well Pump. Also how would I measure the draw on the Titan when I hooked it up to the well pump to see how much draw the pump is pulling?
