According to the manual 3/4hp motor recommend 10A 250v fuse on 14g wire. I only have a 2 pole 15A breaker with 14g wire. Will this be ok for 230v?

The 14 ga wire is fine, it is good for 15 AMP 110/120 or 220/240 circuits. The problem may be in recommended protection for the pump. The pump might suffer damage if a malfunction causes it to draw more than 10 Amps. 10 amp circuit breakers are not common, so my guess is you will be fine with the 15 amp breaker. Most malfunctions will exceed 15 amps and trip the breaker.

I looked up your motor and it looks like it's a 230 volt, so I'd have to say no. This motor is 115V.

No nothing rated for 110 - 125 V will work on 230 V it will burn it up and possibly start a fire.

the 250v is just a rating for the fuse, it has nothing to do with the actual voltage of the unit, if you hookup to 110, your fuse rating will be dbl what is listed, cause the voltage is 1/2 of the 250

the 3 hp motor is rated at 230 volts. I have mine on a dedicated 29 amp circuit

Instructions state to use a 10 amp fuse for vehicle protection. There is a pdf file listed in the detailes section of the item, shows the diagram and wireing methods, very useful.I installed this on my 2014 Can-am Commander XT 1000

It is designed to run either 115 or 230 volt. If your tripping the breaker, check the wiring on the motor. It sounds like you have it wired for 230 instead of 115.

There is a hidden jumper near the 4 large capacitors that also must be cut, otherwise the marked jumper arrangement for 115/230V should be rewired for 230V. I rewired mine and it works fine. Not cutting that hidden jumper will blow the circuit breaker. The unit can be ordered with 230V wiring. Maybe not in the US. Hope this helps.

This system is 220-240 VAC, single phase. Yes, you need to bring directly from your breaker box. Here is how I did. I added two 15 amps breakers at the main box. Every house has two 110VAC poles. Be sure to connect each of them to the 15 amps breaker. Then bring the wire to your system. In my case I added another 15 amps breakers next to the system out side my house. My system is 24000 btu, rated at 9 amps per phase. The rule of thumb is that your fuse must be between 120-133% of the rating on the system. Goodluck

You will notice the motor heats up faster on 14 gauge than on 12 gauge. Use 12 or better 10 Gauge to preserve the windings in the motor. The voltage drops on thin extension cords, the longer and thinner the wire the greater the drop and the greater the long term danger to the motor windings.

You can do a lot of things, but not necessarily to code. There are 4 wires on the L14-30 so that you have two hot conductors, a neutral and an earth ground. The ground is very important for safety reasons, as well as equipment life. You would be better off properly installing the matching hookup to your generator so that there is no question.

you need to use a big gauge wire size (I think I used 0 or 2, and they make really flexible ones now that are nice if you plan on running it around corners. The manual says 4 gauge is the smallest you can use). I'm not sure about fuses... I bought a couple of big fuses but didn't end up using them. I've just looked over the manual and it does show a fuse installed between the positive terminal on the inverter and the battery, so I better make the change. This inverter has been really great, though.... I might even get a second one.

Ok here you go it uses 10.5 amps you can use a 12 amp fuse if you can get it or 15 amp fuse ( check you wire size)

my unit has only a 120V plug, no 230 plugs for USA sales would be my opinion. P.B.

According to the instruction, the unit is rated at 125V, 60Hz. So, 230V, 50Hz would most likely damage the unit.

I'm not quite sure about 230 volts in particular, but I'm from Australia and bought it along with an adaptor so I could plug it into the electrical sockets here, which have a different voltage to the US and it works just fine.

You can set the pump to either 115 or 230 You can make the change by removing the back housing Mine ran on 230 which I think was perset If it trips the breaker at 115 you either have a fault or the breaker is to low It should be a 25 amp The motor does draw a good amount of power
