Hello Professor, am confused, the shop owner is convincing me to settle for this SENWEI GENERATOR, he said it's the same thing with CONSTANT ELEPAQ. is the product a good one, what's your advice?

Since ELEPAQ Generator do have inferior likewise this SENWEI too as much as know this is a new product in the market, with some small factory error or issues, and this two product, sometime the comes with aluminum coil, which is not the best for Generators, go for Gen.that is 100 percent copper Coil,for me as an engineer, you should buy this product I have been talking about SUMEC FIRMAN product. Still the best!!---SENWEI is always with aluminum, no copper at all

good day Prof, I have this generator and I don't really know the kva , it doesn't carry my small fridge , infact it's not serving my three bedroom apartment, I don't know if it's the fault of my road side mechanic or mine, but I don't think it's mine, because I'm looking at the model size number EC3500CX , because my neighbor has SUMEC FIRMAN generator SPG3000 and is carrying his three bedroom apartment with bigger load than mine, and this my generator is making a lot of noise , please mr Prof HELP.

Elepaq Generator, some are good and some of them are fake, and they are good in lending force information about they Generators KVA, this EC3500CX is just 2.5KVA with a mix of 2.2 KVA, so please don't be surprised if it does not carry all you mentioned, about your Neighbor's Gen. SUMEC FIRMAN, SPG3000 this is one thing I like about this product, it will tell you the exactly KVA of their products, just like this SPG3000 the starting watts is 2.8KVA and the running watts is 2.5KVA. brother this is the reason SUMEC FIRMAN, is still the best among all

ObedObuchi:
Good day prof, I just bought this Sumec SPG2900, I want it to last long for me as I have been seeing people giving testimony of this brand. How long can it take me to change the engine oil and do servicing/maintenance so that the generator will last for me?

I Suggested you should change the engine oil. Every month or three weeks, it also depends on how you run your Generator. To learn more about miantainac follow they Facebook page SUMEC FIRMAN Nigeria.

Hello Professor I bought these generator last two week am at Iyanba,please the generator valve hang.what can be the problem and what is the possible solutions.

two things can be the cost of this. 1) some times, is the bad fuel, that why I recommend to my customers to use fuel treatment, 2) leat changing of your engine oil can also be the cost. 3) as I know the LUTIAN generator usually has some small errors or factory flaws, it happens normally, do not be surprised to this.

AntiIncognito:
Prof biko, my own question is..

After the misture of fuel and air explodes as a result of the spark plug's spark.. What force or what causes the piston to come back up to repeat the process..

In essence, the generator is using the power from firing of fossil fuel to transform to power of electricity, but between these two powers, there is mechanic power as medium, that is inertance from flywheel and crank shaft.

Olebunne94:
dear professor I have a SUMEC FIRMAN ECO3990ES it is 3 years now I am having issue with it,it's normally trips off,called a mechanic who said that the engine oil am using is bad,and it contributed in the damaging of the engine side,and he suggested I buy a new half engine I told him that I will get back to him, Dear professor I need a solution on what to do please,

Is it proper to change a half engine because of bad oil?

Yes, to avoid this roadside mechanic's, I will advise you to change the half Engine, I do use SUMEC FIRMAN half engine GX200 for my customers and they all said good about it. No disappointment.

Nnadozie20:
Hello professor,

This SUMEC SPG2500 is almost 10yrs old now and I haven't changed the piston and rings for once,but recently it started shorting oil,should I just change the half engine,or should I get a repairman to work on the piston n rings for me.... What's your talk on it sir....

Because it's now giving me issues

Is better you change the half Engine my suggestion, for you to go and buy SUMEC FIRMAN half Engine. It will save you well.

Hello professor,

I saw this generator in one showroom at Abuja, I would like to clarify weather is original product, it's called AC60000E2 and this is the picture ...... I Was told it can carry 1.5HP AC as small as it is... Prof do you know much about this brand of SUMEC FIRMAN...

Yes, I know about it, is a new model, AC6000E2 special for A/C, it have 4.5 starting watts and 3.6 running watts, it can carry your 1.5Hp A/c easily and comfortable, How small it is? it's Compact just as SPG3000E2, but AC6000E2 is bigger in capacity, this is the wonders of technology.

ObedObuchi:
Oga prof this Cameo SK3500 my neighbor is using it, the generator fuel consumption is OK, but the noise of the generator is to bad. I want to buy a generator and he is convincing me to buy it. But I need an advice on it or is there any other one that can consume less fuel with minimal noise

Sorry it is a new brand, I have to confess I do not know about it, I will keep observing when I do my own mechanic reparing, about any other brand, Yes, this brand SUME FIRMAN, SPG4000 you will like it, thanks for your posting and asking

Titi90:
Hello Oga na boss please am in Kano,sir My power value PPG 3800 it is not bringing light. And the noise is too much .... please Prof kindly advice me on what to do.

first, not bringing light, look for Generator electrical engineer, ask him to check what we call AVR and carbon brush, about the noise, you can reduce the noise, by losing the speed control to the left said

zsplash:
Good day Prof, I want to buy this Okayama product this week. I need more insight about the product, can I get the original parts if anything should go wrong. Your reply would mean alot.

Obviously, it is not a popular brand to see, sorry I don't have an idea about it, never see such brand before, such brand are so few to see, so I don't give comments when I know nothing about the generator, but I will advise you to buy a generator that is popular, in the market and you can easily gets the spare parts,

DazzyOfficial54:
Hello professor
Please I would like to make some enquires,this product called elepaq constant,How good is the generator,would love to know the model that can serve me well on my duplex apartment.... One freezer,air conditioner,washing machine...
Please prof fast reply is needed,because I would love to buy today.

as I know ELEPAQ is a Japan brand innitially but many Chinese factories are using it as their own brand to push selling, so there are all fake ones, for this ELEPAQ, the quality varies, I see some ELEPAQ CONSTANT is OK, but some are very bad, seems they do not have a good standard quality, good and bad is like 50/50, so be careful if you really want to go for ELEPAQ CONSTANT, but for all you listed. I Suggest you should buy 5KVA, but sometimes the ELEPAQ capacity dose not match what is written on their Generator, and it comes with an aluminum coil which is not the best, if I am to suggest for you I will ask you to go for this product SUMEC FIRMAN SPG8000E2

Hello professor

There is this SUMEC product called RuggedLine,which my neighbor bought last year RD3910E2 series,but I can't solely rely on the words of my neighbor about how good the generator is serving him well,so I saw this thread and felt like asking,

Please prof,how well do you know about this ruggedline,how is the service,would love to know the KVA and some other details,like things it can power I have 1 horse power Ac and freezer and other home appliances ,I have experienced a lot of issues from the KEMAGE am using now,I want to Change it.

RD3910EX Rugged line, it works just like it name Rugged, Strong and reliable, it's a 2.5KVA generator. So for you to use this one in your house with the ac and the freezer, will have to substitute your ac for the freezer because the generator is 2,500w. The starting watt for the ac is 2000w and the running watt is 800w while the freezer has 2300w and the running watt is 600w. It's not advisable to use both at the same time so that it won't start giving issues within a short run.

EngFerdinand2020:
thanks for your reply,I appreciate so much,now I can relax knowing fully well that am on the right track

You are welcome.

EngFerdinand2020:

Miracle67275923:

Am just thinking to buy sumec or tec

Justine24:
Hello professor I have this Elepaq SV2200
I have been using it for 3 month now, it doesn't carry my television 32 inches again and I find out that it's normally short oil and smokes, a roadsides engineer told me that he will change my piston and Ring, I told him that he should wait that I will get back to him, so Mr professor please advice me on what to do ?.

Ok since Is just three months you can go-ahead changing the pistons and rings, I will also advise you to get original SUMEC FIRMAN Piston Rings. Is a very good product and that is what normally use on my customers Generator.

Ojuolape2020:
Prof this my 5 years old 3.5KVA Hyundai Gen keeps tripping off everytime I put on my deep freezer. I have repaired it many times but it still keeps tripping off. What could be wrong? Another thing is that the Engine oil dries up very fast. I am tired of this Gen and I don't want repairers to keep exploiting me thats why I have decided to stop using it for now. Pls which good Generator Brands can you recommend, besides I want to purchase what will serve me very well because of the terrible power supply in my area. Thanks.

The reason why your generator, keeps going off whenever you switch on your freezer, the generators is having a problem of what we call piston and rings, that is why you keep experiencing shortage of the engine Oil, so if you have done that, and there is no improvement, in doing that, then I will say that your engine is weak,

You are asking for what brand of Generator to buy that won't give you problem and save you well, I suggest you should buy SUMEC FIRMAN SPG88000E2 is a classic Generator you will like!

Emray9ja:
Hello prof,I have a FIRMAN ECO8990,it has been serving me very well in past 5 years, now I want to buy a bigger generator, I got onto their website, see here, http://ng.sumecfirman.com/show-8-71-1.html, do you know anything about their ECO12990ES?

I rarely see this model when I do repair jobs, but i see it sometimes in some generator shops. As I know, it is their flagship model, with nearly 9KVA output, the highest I can see among all petrol generators, as the top model for SUMEC FIRMAN, so I know it would definitely be a good buy.

AmALeo:
Dear Prof. Pls what's the difference between the SPG and ECO variants of Firman generators. Thanks

ECO series is their premium series in petrol generators, SPG series is their classic series which has lasted more than 20 years in the market based on my research. As I know the price of the ECO series is usually higher than the price of the SPG series because of the larger tank and less noise. But for output performance both are very good. I can recommend the two any day any time.

ObedOnyebuchi:
thank you sir for your response, I will do just that.

you are welcome

Lolabigg:
I really appreciate your response oga .So How can identify an original Sumec Firman SPG 3000?,Do you know where to buy? I am in Mile2

You are welcome, this is how you can identify an original SUMEC FIRMAN Generator' you will see FIRMAN engraved in this eight places on the Generator, <Carburator >Air cleaner box >Muffler cover >Engine block>AVR>Alternator Real Frame > Fuel tank>Cylinder head cover> if you don't see this don' buy, there is a SUMEC brand shop at Market Road Festac you can go there to buy, I am sure you buy original SUMEC FIRMAN there

Lolabigg:
OGA Abeg I need ur response A friend want to sell this fairly-used SUMEC FIRMAN SPG3000 to me, he said it is original and the price is 35000, should I buy it?"

No don't buy it o it is FAKE. It is sticker they just used SUM ECFIRMAN to pretend that it is SUMEC FIRMAN. This what they usually do to copy SUMEC FIRMAN. Don't buy it please.

ObedOnyebuchi:
Oga prof thank you for your response. Please don't be angry that I am asking too much question, I told my neighbor about your help and he has an issue he want to be cleared of, he has this generator he has been using for the past 6 years now, but the generator shorts oil and smokes always and makes noise, he want to know the best thing to do on it.

Yes, I can see it, this Generator is having a problem of what we call piston and Rings I will give you two alternatives of what to do, 1) you can change the piston and rings by using standard plus 2) you can also change the half engine. if you can change the half engine is just like you buying a new Generator.

ObedOnyebuchi:
Oga prof thank you for the solution you gave me on that my generator, please I also want to buy a bigger generator that can carry 1.5HP A.C , 1 deep freezer, 1 fridge, 1.5HP pumping machine, TV and other small home appliances. Which KVA and brand will be better because I don't need story that touches after buying anyone thank you.

Sir I will Suggest for you to buy this Product SUMEC FIRMAN ECO 10990ES or 12990ES it will serve you well, but you don't load all you mentioned on it at once, you will enjoy it and it very Strong,
