TheLoneCitizen: This gen is not 2.5kva. Just divide what they tell you by 3 which is around 833VA. Expect a lower rating if the gen has undergone critical repairs like piston & rings in the past. So, 833VA = 666 watts I can see 90W on that fridge and refrigerators use up to x6 of their rating to startup. 90W x 6 = 540 watts Can you see why that generator cannot start it? To be absolutely sure use a newer Sumec Firman 2.5kva to power it and see for yourself. My consultation fee is $2m. 24 Likes |

VeryWickedMan: The gen powered a 1HP pumping machine tonight. |

TheLoneCitizen: Carry the fridge to the nearest Mountain of Fire Ministries ASAP. I don't need consultation fee anymore. 19 Likes 1 Share |

It will power the fridge but the load will be too much for the gen to handle;the sound of the gen will change and the gen may be vibrating which may lead to worn out piston resulting to smoking of the gen even damaging the coil. 1 Like |
Re: . by TheLoneCitizen(m): 5:35am On Feb 12, 2023 |
ikeno: Yes. Gen vibrates with iron or pumping machine. But sound changes with any appliance added like fan, or just more load. But I heard these are normal. Does that mean these appliances are beyond it? I was thinking reducing the level of the fridge to 0 since starting current is the biggest issue. |

TheLoneCitizen: That Iron is not up to 1000 watt. All these Chinese people with inflating the value of a devices power rating just to sell. |
Re: . by Johnchrix(m): 9:55am On Feb 12, 2023 |
Get a 3.5 kva gen rather |
Re: . by TheLoneCitizen(m): 10:10am On Feb 12, 2023 |
Johnchrix: No I've given out the fridge. Please what do I look for in my next fridge/freezer that can be carried by the generator? |
Re: . by TheLoneCitizen(m): 10:13am On Feb 12, 2023 |
PPIA: Appreciate your input brother. But I have a problem with giving wrong directives or suggestions that could alter the course of one's life forever.

Re: . by TheLoneCitizen(m): 11:51am On Feb 12, 2023 |
The problem was that I was running the generator on full choke. Once I ran it at half choke, it comfortably carried the fridge. To be sure the calculation was correct, I also powered the iron concurrently. So on full choke, the 2.5kva generator could only power the iron. But on half choke, it powered both iron and fridge concurrently with a minimal change in sound. Ikeno, thank you for your input. 2 Likes |

TheLoneCitizen: The refrigerator relay or condenser (capacitor) is bad. Why not contact a tech to change it. It doesn't cost that much. Does it work on public supply? If it does, then it's not the relay but an over rated gen set. 2 Likes |
Re: . by TheLoneCitizen(m): 12:35pm On Feb 12, 2023 |
Oksman: Works on NEPA. Cannot be an overrated gen set when it powers two appliances that are more powerful than fridge. |

Lol, it is very possible that it can carry your iron but can't take ur fridge for so many reasons. I will state few; is tge fridge brand new? If not, it is possible the compressor has been worked on and you are prolly enjoying super chilling fridge whose compressor power is now higher. 2. The compressor power rating can sometimes be found independent from the data label on tge fridge, most fridges come with 3 different power ratings hence the total consumption can be gotten by summing it all together. 3. Power factor of your gen, if ur gen produces more of reactive power and I am kinda sure it does your fridge will find it hard to start hence making it look like the gen can't carry your fridge, this effect is due to ur gen coil, avr and capacitor, it can be corrected by calculating the value of the needed capacitor. ... NB: That you gen is not 2.5kVA. Highest obtainable watt is within 1.2 -1.5kW 1 Like |
Re: . by TheLoneCitizen(m): 5:11pm On Feb 12, 2023 |
marceeesty: Why do you think the gen is of lower capacity, when I powered both fridge and iron simultaneously? |

Re: . by Nicepoker(m): 9:30pm On Feb 12, 2023 |
TheLoneCitizen:1hp is just 1.243kva. your gen is 2.5kva tellus why it won't carry the pump. But that gen is not 2.5kva. 1kva= 1,000w. And the fridge is just 90w. |
Re: . by marceeesty(m): 9:50pm On Feb 12, 2023 |
TheLoneCitizen: I don't think so sir, I know so, kindly snap the gen data label, the rated power output is what I am interested in not the model number. |
