Politics › Re: FFK Accuses Reno Omokri Of Treason by ceaser: 8:46am On Mar 18, 2018 |
nerodenero: I don't really care about these politicians. I remember criticising Reno over an issue involving names. Reno said it was out of place for Africans to bear foreign names. I replied his senseless tweet by telling him that politicians like him refused to develop the nation but will rather run abroad for luxuries. Why can't they stay in their own country?
If these countries had behaved the way our polithiefcians behaved, will there be any luxury anywhere? Reno couldn't take the heat, he blocked me on twitter. He couldn't take the heat/criticisn and he chickened out.
My point is this - FFK might not be liked by many but dude stayed back to criticize and keep the ruling power on their toes, calling out Fulanis herdsmen for killings of innocent people but Reno ran to US, forming freedom fighter and writing rubbish.
The fight should continue, more things should be exposed as it's not healthy when these leaders are united. Then I'd say Reno is probably a liar and a hypocrite. Remember the case where Reno adopted a western name to send e-mails from Aso rock? The news and scam was discovered by Sahara reportes then. Try to bing for "Wendell Simlin". I've had to refer to him as Reno "Wendell Simlin" Omokri ever since. |

kiekie1: Hello, I never sampled a 1kva inverter . I posted prices of quality , high surge capability 12v specs ranging from 1000w , 15000w & 2000w respectively and it powers fridge / freezer respectively .. If you are a 12v fan and have 2v - 6v or 12v 200-600a batteries , you can use the 12v set up.. You just get the right guage of solar cable as Mr Niyi mentioned above and install with either pwm or mppt controller.. My mobile number is visible in my signature for detailed enquiry ..... Cheer's That's noted. Thanks. |
Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by ceaser: 12:00pm On Mar 14, 2018 |
NiyiOmoIyunade: You may be cutting things too tight with this plan bros. I can assure you that a suitable 12v 1kw inverter will carry your freezer as the only load without stress. The 12v 15amps draw that you are anticipating is not a lot at all - common 16mm DC cable or higher gauge if you are paranoid will do the job with no stress or heat.
I believe the cable gauge sizing guide supports this spec and also I routinely run 40amps at ~51volts on 25mm cable without any stress or heat generated.
Where I have issues is your proposal to use just one battery and 450watts in panels to run this freezer. Your 450w rated panels will not produce their full rated capacity all through the day so you will be drawing some power from the battery at some point. While 200watts draw from a 2.4kw battery storage is not a big deal, you may find your battery deeply drained or running out of juice on some days especially if you run the freezer after 4pm in the evening or start off early in the day say 6am and also if you will be powering other loads off the battery at any time.
The correct way to size panels is to allow for sufficient capacity to BOTH RUN LOADS AND SIMULTANEOUSLY RECHARGE YOUR BATTERIES FULLY within the available sunlight hours. Perhaps again your setup has some on grid/utility or generator charging hours factored in so these could makeup the shortfall.
For batteries you want to size them so that they are never drained beyond 50% and they are discharged no more than C20 (I have found locally available C10 batteries do not live up to their spec). So depending on your actual scenario and if you will be adding on other loads you may need at least 2 12v 200ah batteries to make things work out perfectly. Okay. So you'll propose two 200ah batteries. A panel size of around 600watts 12volts parallel. That definitely implies an upgraded CC to around 50amps, except i wanna go for the 24volts setup with less CC amp rating, i think. What d'you think? |

edit: except he has a premium inverter (neither chinese nor indian) Sadly most inverters above 1000kva that I've come across are specified for 24volts input. I guess i may be restricted to 24 volts set up after all. |

makavele: 450 watts panel paired to a 30A CC to charge 2 units of 200AH batteries. . oh men .. Kiekie1; food don land oh
p.s.: that terminal on your CC is for very light applications e.g. DC bulbs .. and should not be used for items with excessive current draw  I know that 12volt socket output is for light applications o. |
Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by ceaser: 12:07am On Mar 14, 2018 |
makavele: Shouldn't be more than 175 running watts Hmmm. Assuming it's 175 watts, that means continuous instantaneous current draw on a 12volt system will be around 14.5A. Now that's a lot of current draw, i think. A 24volt system will definitely fare better with less current draw. My issue with the >12volt setups is battery charging equalization and it's life shortening effect on the battery if that concept is ignored. Though I've had three successful DIY 12volt setups, i envisage the 24v setup would require more technicalities which a non-pro like me will find challenging. |
Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by ceaser: 11:56pm On Mar 13, 2018 |
NiyiOmoIyunade: From my own experience a 195L freezer is not so large or power hungry. See attached below a name plate picture of a larger size size 219L Thermocool freezer with rated output at 140w.
I would cap your freezer at below 200w rated wattage but you can either check the nameplate or plug one of your watt meters and observe the running watts.
A solid 1000w inverter should be able to handle this freezer as the only load - choosing to go with a 12v setup will help you keep your battery bank balanced easier but you will also be operating at the bottom of the efficiency curve for charging and DC to AC conversion. I am sure you will be using more than one 12v battery whether you go the 12v batteries in parallel or do 12v in series to make 24v or 48v all can work if properly managed but I will be the first to admit 12v parallel will keep your battery bank balanced by default vs other voltages where you may need to put more effort to battery balancing. Comprehensive. Thanks. I intend to use a single 200ah battery simply because i do not intend to run the freezer beyond the sun-hours, 4pm; 5pm maybe. I want to wager on the top performance of the freezer to still keep frozen items intact till the following morning. A programmable timer will do the on-off switching. I initially thought i could use the dusk-dawn switch feature on one of the few charge controllers I have but i figure out that may only work for the operation of a direct 12volt DC appliance, not for the inverter that may not have battery recovery voltage feature to restart itself. However in case i decide to go with two 200ah batteries parallel set up, would you say that a 30amp PWM CC with 450 watts (three parallel 150watts) suffice? I know the 30A CC will max on 360watts solar input but I'm just trying to push my luck with 450watts. |

makavele: 12V very inefficient . . . 24V middle mark 48V efficient 96V very efficient but not ergonomical 120V superb but too much wahala and very expensive
and the list goes on , . . the choice is yours to make . . btw . . .
none of those inverters would handle the freezer's start-up (surge) current . . . Thanks. I think i really need to search the body of that freezer to get the device information, to be very sure of the watt rating. |

Hello here.
Ideas are needed on the preference for battery set up for an inverter meant to power a 195litres thermocool deep freezer (I honestly can't figure out the wattage consumption). A 12volt setup or 24volt set up?
Personally and from a non-professional viewpoint and understanding, I will prefer a 12volt set up to avoid the problems of having to replace both batteries even when it is one of the batteries that go bad. A 12volt, higher amperage set up will definitely last longer but with lower financial implications when the battery bank needs to be replaced since you will only have to deal with one battery set in parallel rather than in series.
Also what is the minimum inverter capacity that you will recommend? I have spares of pure sine wave 1000va and 750va lying around. Will any of these suffice?
Professional opinions please. Thank you. |

schoolmaster: There have been a serious uproar among the ranks and file, officers and civilian staff working with d Nigeria police force as February salary has been grossly debited with huge deduction by IPPIS in d name of Fed govt new tax policy.
Yes huge disaster because of d fact dat people are already complaining dat salaries are no longer enough in dis (Buhari) regime and require upward review, but all they could get is huge deduction is dis fare APC. imagine deductions as high as 10k, 20k & even >30k, how can we survive dis? please affected personal share ur experience, mine was 23k. what do we do? Also is dis new tax policy also affecting other civil and public servants? As a FG employee, I started paying the CORRECT UPDATED TAX (as they termed it) about two years ago. Then it increased to 100k from 30k. All the increase began when migration to IPPIS was completed in that sector. Currently, monthly tax is 150k. 150 thousand o, not kobo. I can't complain, can I? remele2: well i since its Police,, Am Happy incase any body wants to beat me, am at home ooooo Don't think you are immune. If you work with the FG and this is done as an arbitrary increase, especially if the police had hitherto been paying the correct tax, then you should be prepared as the fraud will likely be extended to other sectors. I'm somewhat prepared for another wave of onslaught from those thieves in Aso rock. |
