Starting Wattage?

[silasgreen]

I am considering a standby generator for my remotely located home. In trying to calculate required "starting wattage" or load, I need to know the starting wattage for my water well. The well is equipped with a Myers Rustler series submersible pump 2-wire Model 2NFL102-12. Visting Myers and Franklin web sites did not yield any specs. Does anyone have these specs or any idea where this information may be found? Thanks. And Happy New Year.

You can get a good idea of full load amps here.

Running amps will be somewhere between 4 and 5 amps. Starting amps will run a bit over twice that.

Amps x volts = Watts

Thanks Gary! Don't know why I couldn't find it when searching Franklin's site. Good Info, just what I was looking for.
