Re: Klein CL800 Meter
My neighbor recently called me to diagnose about 20 VAC on a disconnected line. As mcgivor says, it's induced voltage and should be ignored.1 · -
Re: 108 volts at the top of the well while running the 1/2hp pump.
Franklin allows a 5% wire voltage drop running at maximum nameplate amps. Plus, I assume, 5% voltage tolerance in the unloaded supply (or maybe 10%). So 120 * .95 *.95 = 108V is OK. But with the 100 …1 · -
Re: Options for new well pump
There are lots of variables to consider, but I'd probably continue on with the existing pump and if it dies, replace it with a similar one. It's < 100Wh/day and not a huge startup surge - don't sp…1 · -
Re: Plausibility of 2 gallon electric hot water heater?
Running it during absorb makes the most sense to me, although it only needs ~.3kwh. Maybe build a foam box for it and fill it with cellulose to reduce cool down.1 ·
