Review: Pump runs on generator power - My new WEN 6800 inverter generator couldn't start our 1hp 240v deep well pump with the rest of our house loads running. After I installed this SoftStarter, the well pump spins right up. Easy to install, and tech support quickly answered over the weekend. For anyone with a Littelfuse PumpSaver, wire this after your pumpsaver controller.
Review: Worked like a champ 38% reduction in Inrush Current. - Configuration: 240V, 1.5Hp submersible well pump. Startup Current 64.6A, Running Current 10A. After Install: Startup Current dropped to 39.8A, Running Current no change (as expected) . Works perfectly (day 1, post install). Installation was pretty straight forward; However, it was a pain to get all the stranded wires into the connector wire clamp. I don't care for the little screw to secure the wire into the connector. After ~ 40minutes, all wires were inserted. NOTE: Use only 12/3 SJOOW cable (300V rating)as the connectors is not suitable for a cable with a higher voltage rating. This was not a 20minute install. It would be a 20 minute swap & replace but I hope that not indication of reliability. I would have given this a 5 star rating except for the connector. Why have a connector when every other aspect of your well pump is secured with a screw terminal & enclosed. The connectors are an unnecessary add on unless, this has to be replaced on a regular basis.
