I have an onga model 445 pump i use to supply water from a tank for my house. i cannot read the pump wattage on the label other than it is a 1 (single i guess) phase. i thought it was around 900w but am not sure. it has a pressure switch fitted. i want to run it from a generator a hyundai 2.8kw model when i lose grid power, which is fairly regular. problem is the pump stalls the generator. any ideas why this happens and how it may be overcome?
You can try running a heavier Gage or shorter cord to the genarator. If that's been done try useing a power suppley box commeing from your gen. not a surge protector this will have battries inside it, doing this will cutt down on electrical resistance. If those don't work you will need a bigger gen. The problem is the amprage is to low, one more thing, look in to a inline a/c compasitor
