Situation:
Have a variable speed pump outdoors which I have programmed to run for 30 seconds "Not to exceed 400 Watts" for prime and then slowly settle at runspeed which is under 180 Watts. The pump itself is 240 volt wired, has it's own programming interface and it automatically shuts down if it can not maintain flow or power is cut. It does not lose programming as it has an internal flash drive and reloads time and program automatically. The pump itself is rated at 8 HP but will never run at full power due to programming.
I would like to wire a UPS or battery backup system that would permit it to maintain power for about 5 minutes. Have not found any consumer UPS units that would allow a 240 v connection or simple way to hardwire this into the breaker panel outside. Does such a thing exist ? What do I need ?
Most power outages are just short blips and having a short standby for such a small load (below 400 watts) would save me from having to manually reset the system from an overnight power outage or brownout.
