what size step up transformer do I need to run a well pump with max 10 amp draw at 230 volts ( 1HP - ,75 kw) , Will run off standard US 120 voltage?

Our voltage converters do not convert to US 230 volt electricity. Our voltage converters convert to and from overseas 220 volt electricity. You will need to consult with a qualified electrician about the installation of a US 230 volt outlet.

You can also buy a tranformer to use any 110-120 appliance. I will recommend a 1500W or higher: Power Bright VC1500W Voltage Transformer 1500 Watt Step Up/Down converter 110/120 Volt - 220/240 Volt right here on Amazon.

Yes, it is a 120vac to 24vac stepdown transformer. I just used the old one that I already had.

You need a step down transformer--a travel transformer from Amazon could work. The Chugger pump is rated at 1.4 amps and 115 volts which translates to 161 watts of power. You will need to look for a travel power converter that steps your 230 volts AC to 120 volts AC with a power rating about double (about 300 Watts) as to not burn your converter out if pump runs at its maximum power load of 161 watts.

This generator puts out 120 volts, most deep well pumps are in the well and require 240 volts to operate, if this is the case it will not work, if the pump is above ground check the voltage if it's 120 volt it will work.

Yes they do make a 220/230v version of this pump, Homebrewstuff does not carry them in stock but if you would like to order one you can call and ask for Josh R. at (208)375-2559 , if yo call in I can get one ordered for you.

The unit is set up with a 110 3 prong plug and a floating cord not sure what you are inferring with your reference to 'transformer'. I saved more than 2K dollars in pool cleanings and fired my pool guy last season :).

This transformer actually boost voltage to 170v 120hz. I have tried quite a few low cost voltage transformers they all do this. So give it a try but make sure you could return it if it doesn't work. Your pump will run a bit warmer than at its rated 50hz.

Ok, just have the original one under my eyes.brand is EVER GLOW.CLASS 2 TRANSFORMERMODEL NO: DCU130060INPUT: 120VAC 60Hz 15WOUTPUT: 13VDC 600mAPS: I used it in France, forgot it could not support 220/230 volts, and it just burnt, so I have to buy another one, but it works perfectly fine in North America.

Hi, You should buy a step down transformer 220 to 120 but first you should check how many watts the appliance uses. The transformer you buy should have at least 50% more wattage than your appliance uses to be able to handle spikes on the usage which normally happen when the appliance starts.

I too have the same question. I will try to buy a 120 V step down transformer.... meanwhile wanted to know which transformer someone has used it sucessfully with this? Is a transformer based converter needed or normal wiothout transformer work? I had one already but not sure if to use this or buy a transformer based 120 V

The load I use this transformer for is 40 Watts, so the current draw is 3.33 A. I wanted a high safety factor as it is not in an easily accessible place.

No, by default it doesn't work with 230v, you have to buy transformer or adaptor for that.

THIS DRILL DOES NOT HAVE ANY BUILT-IN CONVERSION TO 230V, SO, JUST THE PLUG/SOCKET ADAPTER IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. WHEN I WAS IN THE ARMY STATIONED IN GERMANY BACK IN THE 60'S MANY OF US BOUGHT TRANSFORMERS SO WE COULD USE OUR U.S. APPLIANCES ON EUROPEAN 230V. THE TRANSFORMERS CAME IN DIFFERENT SIZES/CAPACITIES. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS ON AMAZON:

Yes it will, my well pump is 220 volts and it's fine. Use common sense, don't over do it or use to many things at the same time.

You don't need the higher voltage since there is no separate heating unit on this unit. The pump IS the heater, hence it gets by on less current than most tubs.

Pardon my first answer. I just assumed 110V but the specs indicate 110-220V so you should be fine. I've used this unit continuously for over 2yrs in our well vault and it's still going strong. Highly recommended!
