will this generator run my well-pump?
I have a 3hp submersible well pump, at about 175 feet. My 5000 watt Honda generator won't start it. I have been told by several pump installers that it would require 10,000 watts. I have not been able to get a start-up reading with an ammeter ( it happens too fast). I would order this generator if you think it will start my pump, with no other major loads on. The pump only runs at 18 amps. thank you

The Generac GP15000E Portable Generator has a 15,000 running watt output. It would depend on the start-up amperage required by your pump. It would be best to contact the manufacture of the pump to determine required wattage for running and start up.

The GP15000E portable generator can cover a wide range of household appliances and items, however the exact items it can cover will vary for each application. The GP15000E portable generator, model number 5734, is rated for a continuous output of 15,000 watts, with a rated amperage of 125 amps amps at 120 volts and 62.5 amp at 240 volts. Please note that these ratings apply when utilizing both the duplex style and the twist lock style receptacles. We recommend ensuring that all of the items you intend to run will not exceed this rating.
Furthermore, new appliances or sensitive electronics with electronic control boards, such as new washers and dryers, refrigerators, furnaces, and computers, can require total harmonic distortion to be below 5%; the total harmonic distortion for the GP Series portable units will be above 5%. If you are unsure of whether or not the items you intend to run are a sensitive item, we recommend to contact the manufacturer to determine any specifications or restrictions for use with a portable generator. If you are looking for a unit with a cleaner power output, we would recommend considering either our XP Series gasoline powered units or our Guardian series automatic home standby generators.Helpful?

Generac· 15 years ago
Yes, it does charge the battery when the generator is running. The battery might lose some of its charge if the generator is stored for extended periods. During this time, it's wise to use a trickle charger to keep the battery charged. It's also a good idea to "exercise" the portable generator for about 10 minutes every few months to make sure it starts and will operate reliably in an emergency.
