When we had our well installed the well company told us that they normally use 240 volt pumps in the wells they install. This makes sense since a well pump is a power hungry device and the higher voltage reduces the current which permits the use of thinner power cables. We bought this diesel powered generator from Tractor Supply in Winchester. It produces 240 as well as 120 volt electricity and is big enough to handle the well pump as well as power any tools we will need to run when we erect the buildings.

| It's big and powerful but not any noisier than our smaller gasoline powered generators. |

| Curiously, this "7000 Watt" generator has a rated output of 4600 Watts. I guess "7000 Watts" is just the name of the generator - maybe they just should have called it something like "Fred the Generator". |
Awesome article and useful too, I want to know more about it.
