Invertors

[POPEYE]

Can you run something off an in invertor on sort of a constant basis? i've found the 24v water pump just aint doing it on 12v, so concidering costs would i be able to run it from an invertor or would it do the invertor in being on for long periods? or would i be better off biteing the bullitt and just shell out (again) for a 12v pump, ta ian

it all depends on the wattage of whats being run off of it.

T'was more of a p1ss take than arsey.

I'd replace the pump, in all honesty Ian. A 12-24V stepper will probably cost more than replacing the pump would.

i have one in my shed too!

Stepper or pump?

what would you want an inverter of that size for?

[darkdezigns]

damn my inverter is only 1500w!used to run in car pc with it lol

No course not, just joking, guess he did'nt see it that way tho

Did'nt see any " thanks for your help" either at the end of play

Cheer's guy's (even you brokedowntruck) , take your point Matt!
did.nt have to look too long at mudskippers link to figure it out, another pump
would be cheaper (unless i can stick a 12v motor on the pump head)

If you fit a 3KW inverter, and actually use it anywhere near its limit, you will be drawing in the region of 250A from your 12v system. That will place serious strain on pretty much every part of the electrical system.

If you dont need that much power, spec your inverter nearer what you'll actually need. It will be smaller, cheaper and less likely to set your truck on fire.

electrical retard that i am,
is there any way,whilst still preserving the two batteries wired in paralell,that they can be wired to provide voltage in series,but to the pump only,(is this round the right way)to provide the necessary 24v

or am i talking tosh
