Step Up

Do you know of any way to provide 8 amps of power and 220V of electricity through the use of inverters? I am looking for a way to use our submersible well pump periodically using auto battery power.

Trace makes several models that will provide 220 volt AC. There may be other brands that will work as well. 220 volts AC is common in Europe and there may be another manufacturer that specializes in these. You could also take a 110 Volt AC output from an inverter and use a 1:2 step up transformer to get 220 Volts AC. Another way would be to replace the sump pump with a 24 Volt DC or a 110 Volt AC version. Probably using a 220 Volt inverter is the most cost effective since you already have the pump.
