"I think what he probably means is that it will start 30 times per hour, give or take, and when it does run, it will run for about 30 seconds. So 90 seconds off, 30 seconds on. " This is a sap transfer pump, basically sap from the trees collects in a small tank , 5 gallons or so, when it is full the pump starts to pump the sap, the 1100' to the next collection tank, which then pumps the sap 1300 feet to the roadside for pick-up. So some days it may run near constantly, and others it may run once an hour.
exactly what I meant, I am not sure what kind of motor the pump has, as it hasn't arrived yet. The motor will run 240 volts not 120. Yes it is correct that the total circuit length will be 2400' from the utility transformer. 3-phase is not an option. Neither is larger conduit for the new pump location, as it is long buried. Ambient temps will be in the 32-40F range when this is in operation. I am considering step up/stepdown for the new run, but am also working with americas farmer, who doesn't have a lot of money to spend.
