Generators
- House Generators MUST be sized to handle all motor loads (MLWSA Grinder pumps have a 1 Horse Power Motor/ 240 Volt/AMP load with an in rush amperage of 35 which eventually drops to 6/7 AMPS)
- 30 AMP Disconnect outside the house must be installed
- Grinder Pump needs to be factored in with rest of house load (priority order: grinder pump, well and furnace)
- IMPORTANT: An inadequately sized generator likely will burn up/damage grinder pump motor resulting in replacement cost to be borne by customer.
