hey guys, im posting this thread cos of the concerns i've seen about inverters,
i wrote a step-by-step ebook on the subject and im giving it out for N500
should be free bt that covers d money for time@cafe and stress in sending
pls, this will only carry basic appliances like fans,tv,pcs,laptops,etc
it can last for 6-12 hrs
u can reach me ; segebee1@yahoo.co.uk for more

like how much would it cost to build the inverter as that
would determine if the ebook would be of any use to me
thanks

Inverter technology is straightforward and easy to understand but the simplicity is basically the main reason for many bad inverters.

It takes real understanding to protect the unit, the personnel and the loads it is intended to power.

There is just a thin line between a reliable inverter and another fire harzard in your house.

@afam
its sounds so unreliable i guess
i should turn to solar now. like how much wud it cost me to have one that wud carry my desktop pc and tv?

Well setup inverters are very reliable, I do not have any generator in my office neither do I use the one I have at home unless I need to start it once in a while so it doesn't packup and I never run out of power supply.

The part concerning fire harzard is based on the likelihood of getting one that is not designed properly, remember that the unit works every single day so you know what to expect if it's a faulty one.

Turning to solar is far from the solution because solar is the most expensive form of power generation and in most cases you still need an inverter to convert the native dc to ac that your appliances use.

Unless you are ready to pay for solar panels with integrated inverters which will still be terribly expensive.

The power situation in Nigeria is such that with a properly designed alternative energy solution you can spend years without ever using a generator and yet enjoy uninterrupted power supply.

Hope the information above makes sense especially as regards your question.

sorry i took some time, its studies.
@ adewaleafolabi the inverter will cost say N10,000.
cos we're on nairaland i'll give u a hint:
the inverter is made of a ups and battery(inverter type)
so the book just tells you what to do.
but why not, u can try and practise if u can figure it out, and pls reply if u do.

so u know, a simple inverter in the market could cost N25,000

There's a 13,000 naira 1.2 kva inverter being advertised in the Guardian.

Pls can you help me out with the phone number of the inverter advertized on the guardian, or their addresss @ Seun

seun, u dey spoil my market

Anyway, sorry for taking really long, i've suspended d book for a while cos im working on it

Right now im selling Real finished inverters that are made in naija by a reputable company

this is cos d demand is so high and of course, they're paying me

if u need a real inverter, it starts from N90000 plus inverter battery which lasts for 10-12 yrs

or need more info: mail; segebee1@yahoo.co.uk

Thanks

@segebee
Can anyone tell me how long a regular inverter would last without electricity if basic household items are plugged to it? For e.g Frigde, PC, television, lights,

depending on the load you place on it and the amount of batteries u buy

id say minimum 3 maximum more than 6,
more batteries more lasting time
less load longer time

the inverter can power anything and though it might be expensive it is better off in the long run

tell me what you want to power and i can give u a quote

Seun Please can you help me out with the phone number of the inverter advertized on the Guardian, or their addresss
