The well pump is how far away from the house??
Or is it for a barn?
Leave the generator in the building, and use a transfer switch.
Personally, I doubt this situation is real.
If close enough for reasonable plumbing, then it’s close enough for a transfer switch or an extension cord.
Quit bothering us with theoretical stuff, please.
Steve , I am not making this up.
I will spell out all the DETAILS. Do I need to provide photos, or will you require a site visit to ascertain these facts?
#1. I have - A- a well, B- a 5000 watt 240 volt generator, C- a pumphouse, D- a transfer switch.
#2- this combination works fine.
#3 -I have a stack of cedar 2x10's a 100 yards away I want to cut up.
I don't want to use a hand saw. The 5000 watt inverter generator is heavy.It would be damned near impossible to roll it over the field. Therefore, I want a light easily portable generator to use as a power source.
It would also be nice to have a
BACKUP to the 5000 watt unit,to run the well, because where I live, things go wrong sometimes. Even Honda 5000 generators. And that is why I want a 120- 240 ability. We lose power here a lot, and sometimes it does not come back on for a while. 10 day's, once, in the snow.
Regarding the well- it is 50 deep, 1/2HP 240 volt pump.Not much water column.
