NeoTesla: Thanks, mate. I think I shall have to do that. Anyone got any idea as to how long these tihngs can last anyway? Somehow I get the feeling that they're not as stable as other electrical appliances like TVs, etc, and are more in the class of stabilizers and UPS... 1 Like |

Nice Thread indeed, informative and accurate too,wondered why this is not conspicuous enough on the landing pages cos this, the career thread and travel section seems to be where I have seen matured and balanced moderating and comments. my little piece is that if we are going to get inverters rapidly deployed, there is a very urgent need not to be carried away by the popular brands and their Pricing, the xantrex, sma, sukam in our own case. for instance, I have been using a 1000W inverter (without charger) for more than 3 years to power my basic household appliances, TV set, Dstv/strong decoder, fans and of course lighting. There are smart chargers that will run well even on a small generator to charge batteries. I use one of this presently with two (2no) 160W 12v solar modules on the roof of my rented apartment (definitely would be going fully on solar on my own proprty). The point Iam trying to make is that with as little N35K one can still get a good inverter with Smart chargers capable of giving at Least 30A of charging current and these chargers can also run well on small generators (i better pass). Another grey area for most of us in Nigeria is in load management, By the time the power sector is fully privatized all the waste prevalent in Electricity use today will be thoroughly paid for. it beats my imagination to still see a lot of energy wasting incandescent lighting where people could have opted for energy saving bulbs or BETTER STILL DC led bulbs which are even far better than the numerous so called AC energy savers abounding the Nigerian market sphere. Last year I replaced 20no 0f a clients 18W ac energy saver with 20 no 4W dc bulbs, thereby reducing the power consumed by lighting from 360W to 80W, the 280W saved was then channeled to other household item. Moreover the load of the lighting didn't have to go through the inverter hence reducing the inversion loss in the system. 1 Like |

About how much do the 160V 12W solar panel and smart charger sell for? How much can one get the 4W DC led bulbs? |

dsunmade: About how much do the 160V 12W solar panel and smart charger sell for? How much can one get the 4W DC led bulbs?160W 12V you mean? I got mine from Vitus more than 2 yrs ago for 35K/module (even before I saw Vitus contact on this page, only to discover it's the same guy I have been dealing with at Alaba. I import the dc bulb directly from the supplier and it's almost 2K/one but is guaranteed for 50,000 hrs, hence it pays for itself overtime. I have been using these for over a year now and no issues so far |

Hello friends, pls what does pure sine wave thing mean abd how it different from the other one? I visited a cyberpower outlet and I discovered they have two types of inverters for the same power ratings. One is cheaper and the other is more expensive. The nex question is- if I have a 3.5kva inverter with four 200mA batteries and I'm interested in getting solar charging option to it, what do I need to get in terms of cost. @Ethnan- thanks for answering my questions all the time. I'm yet to acquire my inverter yet oh. |

alstacs: Hello friends, pls what does pure sine wave thing mean abd how it different from the other one? I suggest you go through this thread on solar: https://www.nairaland.com/390522/solar-energy-complement-fta I followed the thread and today I have solar panels also charging my battery bank. take time and go through. You will get all the info and calculations. More so, you can post your questions there. Cheers |
Re: Inverter Users : Lets Have Your Experience by dave07(m): 12:43pm On Apr 18, 2013 |
pdozie:just do as Pdozie noted and pls take note the battery is 200AH not mA. Pure sine wave means you get an output similar in quality to what you get from PHCN and can run virtually all your electrical/electronics gadget. yes it is more expensive than the modified sine wave inverter. many modified sine waves are similarly running quite a great deal of appliances these days due to new technologies being deployed in the manufacturing processes |

Inverters work well when PHCN fails you. Though you would require to charge you battery with electricity supply or a generator or solar panels http://www.kara.com.ng/generators/ when they run down. for more on inverters and pricing that we have to offer http://www.kara.com.ng/inverter-system/ |

dave07: Nice Thread indeed, informative and accurate too,wondered why this is not conspicuous enough on the landing pages cos this, the career thread and travel section seems to be where I have seen matured and balanced moderating and comments. Hi Dave, good insight. Please can you explain how the DC bulbs work. I mean for example,, the Inverter (or power grid) supply AC current. Do I need run another parallel wiring per bulb for the DC bulbs - since the load wouldn't pass through the inverter?. I assume it will be powered directly from the batteries? If so, doesn't it mean that there wont be any regulation for over draining the batteries? And what are the costs (say for the 4W DC bulb?) Pdozie (patdozie@yahoo.com) |

pdozie:Hi, I just replied your mail on this. Thanks |

dave07: Can you please share with general house. Thanks |
Re: Inverter Users : Lets Have Your Experience by dave07(m): 8:19pm On May 29, 2013 |
Hi, Yes the DC bulb takes supply directly from the battery but preferably through the load side of the charge controller ( if you are on solar). The controller takes care of regulation and in some others the timming (OFF/ON) of the bulb. Yes it is necessary to run a separate wiring for this because the voltage level is 12V dc. The 4W bulbs I have been using for over a year and also stocking cost N2,000, but I have since ran out of stock. Recently, I came across another 3W and 5W with normal screw type lamp holder going for 800 & 1,100 naira respectively. The other type I have has an MR-16 base lamp holder and not the screw or pin type. Iam still trying to determine the durability of these new product, cos I can vouch for the 50,000hrs bulb life guarantee on the MR 16 type and its quoted high lumen output. Hope this helps kayoday: 1 Like |

I have a concern about the(yellow colour) cyber 1kva inverter + a prag 200AH battery that i bought. u have to leave the inverter on before it charges. if u switch it off when when light comes it won't charge, and if light doesn't come for a whole day the battery bar can drop down. i'm planing to buy another inverter because i consider the inverter as a waste of money.

It shldnt b lyk dat, probably d person dat fixed it dint fix it well...I use a 2KVA CyberPower wiv 200AH CyberPower batteries (X2) and evry tin works jst fine...it charges wen it's off, charges wen it's on, automatically switches to inverter wen set to on & charging, and every tin an inverter is supposed to do |
