The smallest generator you can get, that produces 240 volt is probably going
to be around 2500 watts, which would be fine

I am having a well drilled to 400' and will get a 220v 1.5 hp motor
for the pump. I would like to buy a back-up generator in case of
extended power outages. Can anybody tell me what watt generator I
would need? Thanks - Robert
