I have a 1500' 12 gauge wire leading to a power panel. I am running a 1/3 horse power motor off this panel continuously (air pump for my lake) and a 1/2 horse power motor intermittently (my well pump, which kicks on for about 5 minutes about 6 times per day.) Both motors are 220 VAC.
The problem is, when my well pump kicks on, the AC voltage drops significantly, which kills my air pump, which eventually burned out the motor.
I would like to install some batteries at this panel with synchronous inverter that would kick on when the well pump kicks on, keeping the AC voltage high enough to run both motors. Can anyone suggest a product that would do this, or another strategy that would work?
Thanks!
Andrew
