A word of advice, never use your stabilisers with your gen sets

Raycelove:
We on our generator to freeze the items kept in the freezer, we connected stabilizer with the freezer, this was our first time of connecting stab with freezer.

So the hell mistake I made was removing my phone from the original charger and charging it with an infinix fast charger, after plugging the phone , the generator level went high and the fast charger got burnt the original charger, my sister laptop charger got burnt , bulbs got burnt.

We were lucky not to on our televisions and other valuables. We off the gen and on it again without the freezer on and the sound and motion went back to normal.

So what caused the change in level of the generator and what led to the damages of laptop charger, bulbs and chargers??

openmine:

A generator source cant work properly without an AVR

femi4:
Don't mind them, no scientific explanation

joey150:


Give a reason? A valid electrical reason why you cannot use your stabilizer and generator?

I've used mine for five years now, not one problem.
You can argue that it is redundant, but I'll like to know why you think it spoils anything.

Raycelove:
I'm finding money for charger at the moment . I'm using one of my charger but it's not fast.

femi4:
Unfortunately, from page 1 to page 2, useless theory.

OP should get a good generator. If you are using a generator other than the "I pass my neighbor", it's voltage doesn't fluctuates either on load or no load. No problem with using stab with your refrigerator

symbianDON:
based on what electrical principle exactly?? all these people up there saying, 'don't use stabilizers with generator', actually sound ridiculous! your stabilizer is simply an electrical device that steps up or steps down electrical voltage so as to protect your appliances from damage. stabilizers themselves DON'T consume electricity. if your generator is good and your stabilizer is good absolutely NOTHING will happen if used together.

ibuildstuff:

Stabilizer consume more power, let's just say ur generator is powerful enough for the stabilizer u are using, but on a serious note, u are stressing ur generator.

a stabilizer would damage a smaller not so powerful generator.

Something I use together in my house here together .... Jxt saying what they don't know..... It's only electric pressing iron we plug directly into socket whether Gen or Nepa

LMAO

SIR! YOU DESERVE A HAND SHAKE, ARE YOU AN ENGINEER? ORIGINAL ONE OH, NOT ROADSIDE ONE.

lovecares34:
You are not supposed to connect your freezer to a stabilizer while your Gen is on. That was the mistake u made. Next time, plug the freezer directly and not through a stabilizer.

EXLOVER:
I have use generator for 15years, that incident was caused by the charger, they are some fake charger you plug to an extension there will be a bridge of current between the extension and the charger, immediately you plug the charger the Gen will be jerking like a girl that wants to cum, just troway that charger, another that causes that is when NEPA and gen collide. But nothing will happen to your Gen.

Raycelove:

You mean the palliative rice.
You are rich judging from the way you speak .pls could you assist me in buying the chargers?

ibuildstuff:

Guy no electrical engineer will tell u that stabilizer step up or step down voltage. Of stabilizer do that, then what is the function of a transformer.

He also said stabilizer doesn't consume electricity, every electrical appliance consume electricity, even a conductive cable has resistance.

Saying stabilizer doesn't consume electricity is actually very dumb.

olanrewaju99:
Using generator with stabilizer is a bad combination both uses coil.

SPLENDID25:
SO NEPA NO DEY USE COIL?

westlius:

Oil dey ur head
Let me explain something here
We use stabilizers for Nepa because most of there lights are either below or above 220mw and most electronics we have works well when on 220mw
Our generators are set already on 220mw, so no need to stabilise the current because its already stabilized by the gen

Psoul:


You are wrong. Connecting stabilizer to generator has no adverse effect on generator so long as the capacity of the stabilizer does not surpass that of the generator.

The stabilizer will even help to supply steady current to the appliance connected through it.

SPLENDID25:
voltage please...abi na lay man language you dey use to make am understand ne?lol
