Hi Guys,
I've been asked to wire up a 12v water pump in a coffee shop - which they supplied. It's to run off a 230v supply. The spec is as follows
Voltage - 12VDC 5 AMPS MAX
Switch off pressure - 45 PSI 3.1 BAR 31 Meters
Max flow 3.5 GPM 13.1 LPM
Recommend slow blow fuse 15 AMPS
I'm a domestic electrician so this is not my thing.
Would you just run it straight off the socket circuit ( B20 MCB) with a 20amp switch controlling a transformer connected to the pump ?
My main question is what transformer to use ? I've read what I can on the net and it seems that all the 12v transformers for lighting etc
are not suitable due to the startup power required from the pump.
Any useful info would be greatly appreciated
