Hello! Anyone using a 48 v. Sigineer 6000 watt, 240 , invertor to back up a well pump? what battery are you pairing It with? What is your inverter setup (battery type and % voltage)... And what is the wattage requirement of your pump? thanks,

My neighbor used the 24V version of that model (120/240V split phase) to run a 3hp Grundfos deep well pump. Run was around 18A with surge somewhere around 60A. Handled it like a champ. The inverter gave no visual or audible signal that it was experiencing a heavy load/surge, and the fan would shut down a few minutes after the pump was turned off.
He has since downsized to a 2hp Grundfos pump solely to get his kWh/gallon cost down and to be able to run the pump fully from PV input through the inverter. His array is about 4kW, and the new pump uses < 3kW.
The inverter is dedicated solely to this function. It is manually turned on and off when we wants to fill his above ground cisterns. It is running from the same 24kWh FLA bank he uses to run his Magnum MS4024PAE to power his house and all other loads. He runs it about 2-3 hours 2-3 days per week at peak solar. He's retired, so he doesn't mind a manual process.
Downsides - heavy and consumes somewhere around 100-110W idle power if you plan to leave it on all the time.
