Has anyone had any experience using an inverter in an apartment building to power the water pump attached to a pressure tank.
Scenario:
Currently the building has a 3 phase, 5-8HP (label is hard to read) water pump connected to a 120 gallon pressure tank.
Based on the above, we would need to replace the pump, as I?m assuming you would need 3 inverters, one per phase if we wanted to use the existing pump. Plus the inverters would need to be very large to cope with the motor surges. Correct?
Plan B:
Has anyone ever seen a setup using a single phase motor connected to an inverter that could handle an apartment building?
If so, what specs, inverter size, etc etc?
Thanks.
