>really weird voltage
No- voltage would be easy to change with a transformer.
It's that many pumps run on 25hz, not the 60hz of the power grid.
They have to change frequencies via mechanical methods (motor-gearing-generator) or generate their own power via on-site turbines.
- beerandt 5y agoAlso should add- this wasn't the result of a bad design choice. It's because many of these pumps are literally older than the electricity grid.
