Hi all

Thanks for the replies, sounds like one operators thoughts based on carryover from previous types or experience or...?

On a tangent I have a place on solar power/batteries, they state the size of the inverter must consider the STARTING demand of an electric motor (eg water pressure pump) rather than the RUNNING demand, starting can cause an electrical spike up to 7 times the running demand.
Assuming similar for elect hyd pumps the pause makes sense if not a 'boeing' thing.

Cheers.
