My son has two 7 1/2 hp pumps with FLA as 22. There is a controller with them, but it's in pieces. He needs to hook these up temporarily in order to demolish the exisiting pump house to build a new one. They are 3 phase 220 volt. I was thinking building a rack with the controller and installing a 60 amp 3 phase disconnect with a cable running to his generator. It's a 3 phase generator with a 60 amp 3 pole breaker. I can't recall the actual kw/kva of the generator. Just need to get some input on this
There are also 3 other pumps that are in the old pump house now that will have to installed at a later date. I did suggest a temp 3 phase 200 amp service for this but thought he could get by with the generator, or generators. There will be the problem of co-ordination with lots of people in order to disconnect the permanent power and hooking up the temp power without disrupting the pumps. We're talking 500 gallons of poop a minute. Don't want to make a mistake.
