Pls what is the make of this. And is it an inverter or? Saw it somewhere with a small inverter placed on it.

Questions asked by a prospective solar enthusiast in the international society!

Hi,
I want to start my career as a solar technician

David Rawlings
Thanks �

In a sane society, nobody should be doing PROFESSIONAL solar installations without prior qualifications and field experience as an electrical contractor.
If its DIY on your own property, that's your own risk.

Guys, in my church the gen is about 7250W with a P.F of 0.8, so its about 10kva in all. Lately there's need for us to switch to solar power. The first guy gave a quotation of 10kva but then I was brought into the mix and I discovered that the readings on the speakers were something like this; continuous 500w, peak 2000W. When i used the peak value to make estimations i got about 17,000W as total loadings of the speakers. I know the value can't be right because the normal church gen is less than 10000W. The gen powers the church very well but when the pumping machine is added it causes the sound to increase

My questions are these,
1. Does anyone know about speaker output. What the peak and continuos entails?

2. Can a 15kVA effectively power up the church?

I really want to get everything right

Forget ur speakers and check the power consumption of the church amplifier and use it for ur calculation

Thanks bro. My main challenge I couldn't lay hold of the accompanying manual for the three Amps and one big mixer in the church, More so there was nothing to that effect on the bodies of each appliance save for the what is on the below pics

How many speakers do they power @ a time



I guage the professional amps @ 500w each




That's shit loads of power for audio equipment


The mixer amp should be around 300w

Interested too.
i.e. replacing AC compressors with DC for either fridge or freezer.

Thanks boss!
The amps and mixer is about 1800W, additional load to this won't exceed say 300w

The Speakers are in pairs (4sets). Then there's one big PROEL combo speaker, 2 feedback speakers on the altar and 2 more for the instrumentalists. That's about it.

Initially I estimated 10kvA for the whole church but because of funds I was asked to just cater for the equipments and maybe like 3 industrial fans and about 6 light points. In view of this I'm thinking of using 5kva of which the equipments must be covered.

Would that work?

How about separating these loads you want to power with the inverter from other loads, then measure the current drawn while putting all the equipment at it's max. Eg the highest volume for the speaker, the maximum speed for the fans, etc. Once you have this total load current, estimating the size of the inverter becomes easier. You'll need a clamp meter to make this happen. Good luck.

Budgeting 15kva would work for the church but you would have to put together so many limiting factors...
1.) time of usage
2.) frequency of usage
3.) pls oversize the batteries very well for long life of ur batteries else u will buy another set in 2 years
4.)Pls run away from Ac fans application when using solar, stick with dc fans for the sake of batteries
5.) Since the church brought u in why don't u tell them to implement the solar in phases,as it might involve changing too many things @ once....I don't belive in buying inverter and slamming every thing on it

Thanks. I visited the link and was able to update myself. I saw it at a friends house and thought of buying for my mum due to it's compact nature. But 24ah battery? That is too small for 32" TV for a pensioner who will watch TV for long.

You better off buying, say luminous 12v inverter about 50k with one 200ah battery at say between 70-90k. I guess it can serve or buy the 99k Luminous Delite Package

use a watt meter...on the supply of the amplifier...note readings at mid and max sound output settings. with all speakers blasting....especially songs that have bass. you can use same watt meter for other loads as well. ensure you buy an inverter with decent surge handling capacity as well

You can check Famicare; or one of these Ericsson chargers; am not a fan of cheap Souer chargers, Some charge up to about 14.6v, for a 12v battery and that is destructive for most Batteries in the long run
