Bendpak 4-post lift 240v to 120 options

[Brno8x57]

I have a bendpak hd-7w and don’t have 240 in the garage in the new house. There was a 240 outlet but found out it was installed very incorrectly and not safe. It looks like 12 gauge buried in a conduit about two inches below ground.
So I will pull 240 in the future but it will be a while. I have access to a single 20 amp 120 outlet.

Anyone familiar with changing the power unit to 120? Are there any other options?
Only 240 I have is 100 feet away in the house. Detached garage.

I am interested in the 7W model. Are you happy with it?

You could install a transformer with a 120V primary and a 220V secondary. Based on the nameplate of 10.5A @ 208V, you would need 2.184 kVA to support the motor, so a 2.5kVA transformer would work, however, a 2.5kVA transformer will draw 20.83A @ 120V, so you would need a 30A dedicated circuit for the transformer to run the pump motor. With only #12's / 20A circuit, this isn't a possibility because the amperage will be too high for the circuit.

If the 120V circuit running from the house to the garage is a dedicated circuit and does not connect to any other devices/receptacles/etc., you can re-identify the neutral conductor at the house, at all junctions, and at the point of termination in the garage, then move the neutral at the panel at the house to a 2 pole breaker, however, this will only work if the circuit is not connected to anything else in the garage or house as the 120V circuit will become a 240V circuit.

Just my two cents.
