Would it be possible to run a 11kW bow thruster with a cos of 0,9 and a soft starter on 3x 5kVa quattro?
Once started the inverters should be able to handle the motor, but is there a chance they will be able to handle the inrush current with a slow starter.
Asking this because now there is a generator running 8hrs a day, for a bow thruster used about 45-60 seconds each hour. We have the 5kVa units laying around. Don't want to buy new 8 or 10k units, but don't want to build a system if it's impossible to run.
