beware! most them are modified sine wave. considering the 2-3months wait, why not purchase in naija.

All inverters I have for personal use in recent times are PSW purchased from AliExpress. And yes, they all have low no-load consumption. There is this particular brand from a seller where I have purchased 4 units (3 units 4000w peak and 1 unit 1000w peak). Delivery is usually in 2 weeks with UPS shipping.

One of the 4000w peak failed after the third day apparently because the yeye man did all sorts of experimenting with and abusing the inverter - against technical advice - including placing a pressing iron on it. I complained to the seller (I avoided the abuse part) and he offered to send a replacement at half the price, since I complained it would be impossible to ship the faulty one back to him.

One of the 4000w have been in operation for 1 year, 1000w in operation for 10 months and the latest 4000w has served for 1 month.

The faulty 4000w inverter does not show a single component damage, no burns, no smells, nothing. It just wouldn't turn on. I therefore believe it can still work. So if anyone here has the gift of reviving inverters, please.

I've had this scenario (LVD) kill an inverter before. Attached is a picture of the inverter. Inverter screen went blank and unresponsive. It was quite strange that a battery disconnect by a BMS should kill an inverter but here we are.

Then maybe it's best we don't let the BMS do the LVD. That job should be left to an external add-on device or to the inverter if it can be programmed.

On some their party installs that I supervised, I've been called on two occasions where the LFP went totally down and the voltage meter would not even display nada. Turned out the BMS disconnect occured. Solar power will not wake up the BMS neither did PHCN input via LFP charger. So I had to connect similar battery in parallel to wake it up.

The inverters were BTS 1050kva and load did not exceed 50 watts both occasion. They did not take a hit. So I suppose the negative impact of the BMS tripping on the inverter could also have to do with the extent of load when the disconnect happened.

But that KEYE name sha, is it a DEYE variant?

Holding a simple incandescent bulb in line as you make the final inverter to battery connection also works to smooth out the inrush current required by the inverter internals and prevent any sparks

.....use a simple incandescent bulb in line as I am about to connect the negative inverter cable. We always connect positive cable first. The bulbs are cheaply available and work just as a beefy resistor to subdue any sparks. I have also heard a diode could work but never tried one.

Thanks for this. I have always wondered what else could serve as a cheaper and readily available alternative.

Bros, increase your intake of eba, 330w is about 23kg 450w panel about 27kg

Bro I won't lie o. In an installation I did for personal use, after the second trip up the ladder with a 330w panel, I was panting and a little exhausted. My own weight is a couple of kg above twice the weight of the 450w.

I have decided that in any other personal installs going forward, I will hire the services of professional climbers and probably heavyset type that will do that wahala of carrying it to the roof.

That dark complexioned one is likely to be the recipient. He is the one assuming the effeminate gesture more.

Things are really going haywire. Increased penetrance and influence of visual media in the form of p0rn and also social media has made those things that are hitherto established anathemas to now become a normal thing that people no longer flinch at.

One of such things is MSM - which is another accepted politically correct way to call 'em. The other one that looks like it is LGBTQ.

See you.

This man can't afford cocaine so if it is established that he was under the influence when he commited the act, then if it's not cheap alcohol or kaikai, it will be something in the likes of tramadol and co.

So you should ask yourself a question before you go all gaga: where is the headquarters of Tramadol consumption in Nigeria?

I'll help you - it's the North.

Nonsense. Pictures or fake arrest.

They need to impress it uponw the people that they are being proactive, hence the reason for this news which doesn't even sound truthful.

And do not blame Nigerians for doubting so much. It is because of the years of subterfuge, trickery, falseties, dishonesty and blame trade that the average Nigerian politician has engaged in with Nigerians, most often than not putting the lives of the innocent in harm's way with these shenanigans.

Trust is a great tool and about the strongest asset that any leader(s) state can invest in. Once the people trust you, they will even believe you when you tell them that all their earnings should be contributed towards the betterment of the nation.

Now what this script looks like to me is that either they wanna give the impression that they are doing something or at best someone needs to go down in order to cover the crimes of the real boss/politician mastermind of the kidnappings, banditry and every other social evil in that region.

Vaccinated kó, inseminated ni!

And the north thinks they can starve the south with food blockade.

Buncha jokers they are.

These Miyetti Allah are just so ridiculous. This was the same way Bodejo, chairman of the marauders outfit claimed that pictures and videos showing herdsmen casrying guns were all photoshopped. Have they forgotten that Amotekun is backed by law and are constitutionally legalized to bear some degree of arms unlike herdsmen that illegally bear arms.

Even vigilantes that bear small arms are not affected by Buhari's order.

If Miyetti Allah are so desirous of some comparison to drag along in their dirty game, then they may think of comparing themselves to it like "crop farmers bearing arms"

But of course that is even dead on arrival, because crop farmers have always been law abiding citizens that had no cause to bear arms. Even up till now, they still exercise so much restraint not to carry the least lethal of weapons in the face of attacks and confrontation from the AK47 totting Fulani herdsmen.

Na now your morning break? Well meaning Nigerians have shouted themselves hoarse that this useless terrorist re-integration concept into communities is as dangerous as having the terrorists in the bushes.

But of course the people in government always have to have their way against popular opinion and against common sense.

Your motto should be "it is God's prerequisite to forgive terrorists, it is our own prerequisite to arrange for them to meet God/send them to God to get that forgiveness"

PHijo:
Oil money and not tax payers money! Apart from transnational companies ( most are oil companies) who pays tax in Nigeria and how much is that tax?

Well, j don't work in multinational or O&G, but my monthly tax to the government is 96k.

So yes, "tax payers' money" is absolutely correct.

Lórí iró

As if that one will stop the pervasive mass kidnappings in the north and Fulani herdsmen menace in the south.

This lie lie government of a recent have been bringing out liars that seem to out best Lai Mohammed. It seems they've just graduated en masse from school of lying.

Bodejo of Miyetti Allah Kaure something something recently came out to say that the circulating videos on the internet showing herders carrying guns are all photoshopped.

God bless your hustle jàre Chukwuma.

This food restrictions from the north to the south will eventually be a blessing in disguise. Watch as guys start to farm big time and cash out.

I have made arrangements to fence a 6 plot of land I have left fallow for a while, dig a well for irrigation and hire guys to help plant crops, for some level of subsistence farming of course.

Fulanis are quite common in the area grazing their cows thru, so making that brick fence will be a wise decision.

I'm so happy for this couple. They are one of the few celebrity couples that have stayed out of unnecessary public scandals in their marriage and I love 'em for that.

I begun to get worried that a strain might soon erupt when it became apparent that it was taking time for their union to be blessed with children.

But at least that fear has been addressed. I'm happy they will now spend their time focussing on other things that will keep strengthening the union.

And I think this couple are smart and sensible, one reason they may have been able to stay above the board of celebrity marital issues. Why did I come to that conclusion? You'll note that they waited till she put to bed and the baby and mother are well and doing fine before they both made it so public on the social media. Only a sensible couple can agree on that level of privacy about their pregnancy.

Village people will be disappointed they missed their shot during the time she was pregnant.

maureensylvia:
Congratulations to them.
Surrogacy is now a norm in Nigeria. Indeed it has come to stay

What is this? D'you deeply have an understanding of what surrogacy is?

That nincompoop Bodejo and his other Fulani minions will claim this is also photoshopped.

Is this an endorsement or what?

Yahaya "yèyé" Bello is a useless leader o. In all his 7 years as governor, I can't see anything he has done for his state except to loot it and launder it to Abuja in appreciation for APC bringing him in as governor.

He is currently looting the money to push his 2023 agenda which by the way is a mirage.

Four gun-totting Fulanis bandits swapped.

Aregbesola is pro Tinubu. So the widening gap diminishes aregbe's influence and indirectly that of BAT.

Politics is a dirty game, but 24hrs is a lot to see insta-changes and defection in politics.

Why do these people appear to have the same ridiculous and crazy thought process in a world where it is easy to differentiate facts from fiction?

This was the same way that Buhari believed Ganduje's bribery video was photoshopped that he had to confess that he is still wondering "what technology was used to capture the videos".

3 years after; till tomorrow he has still not understood "the technology behind the video".

Now this same neanderthal thought process is driving MIyetti Allah's doubt of pictures and videos of herdsmen wielding AK47 rifles. Yet they easily believed videos showing ESN's eviction of herdsmen and Sunday Igboho's eviction of that useless seriki from Igangan community.

A Fulani who is not educated; didn’t go to school, how will he know how to operate gun? The people carrying guns are the Amotekun and other vigilantes being created here and there.

This Bodejo is olófo of the highest order with an IQ below that of pre-historic man. Does anyone need to be learned to take an aim and pull the trigger if a gun? If 4 year old Fulani toddler can comfortably handle an AK47 these days (the video is also real and not photoshopped by the way), what stops an adult Fulani man from handling one perfectly?

I'm just glad for one thing, and that is the fact that the heat is seriously on the Fulanis and they now realize that they don't even have the full backings of their hitherto supporters (Hausas and Middle Beltans) like they used to and that's the main reason they are so agitated to the point of committing these verbal blunders all in a bid to save face. As minority, the Fulanis had always hidden under the shadows of those majorities to commit political crimes, social crimes/injustices and economic crimes. But now all man eye don open wella.

Lalong is on a long thing.

He is crazy as whack, talking nonsense like that.
If farmers customarily move around with even the simplest of arms on their farms, do you think the herdsmen will develop that courage they have to attack men on their farms and fields?

Even the villagers and indigenes that decided to protect 'emselves against armed onslaught from herdsmen were, in a fake promise of peace and protection, disarmed by the Nigerian Army and immediately afterwards signalled to the herdsmen to come attack.

They should spare Lagos. Majority of installations and companies in Lagos are built by private individuals who struggled hard to establish their thriving business, well maybe except Tinubu who looted Lagos bind in order to set himself up for life.

It's good they face Abuja, and they should be highly selective too. They should spare the places where the indigenes reside for such areas do not contain people that put the country into problem.

In Abuja, the structures, properties and buildings linked to any politicians past and present must all have bombs planted in them and razed to the ground.

The senators' quarters should be targeted too.

But first things first. They should drive the Fulanis far away from their lands. The ESN are doing a good job with that. The Egbesu boys should be the Niger Delta arm of Coalition to Drive out the Fulani cockroaches from Nigeria.

In South west, aside from Sunday Igboho who has done all within his power, he can only do so much. But I'm optimistic that we will soon have more Sunday Igboho's being secretly empowered and jazzed up unveil themselves and declare multiple fronts of attack on the Fulani marauders.

Wahala for who renounce citizenship.

But no problem. The chronic unseriousness of Nigerian leaders was the reason he did that in the first place. As a prodigal son, he is welcome to take back his citizenship.

Next time, if he wants to renounce Nigerian citizenship, he should do so after he's gotten well established in liberal places like Canada, UK, Australia and maybe the US.

South Africa is like glorified Nigeria, just much better than Nigeria but nonetheless exposed to the irregularities and leadership evil that also plagues Nigeria his motherland.

RIP in advance to more vaga-inas (in the dictator's voice)

And to think Blackberry phones that made millions of casualties of Nigerian ladies is today as useless as a toddler's toy is seriously disheartening.

Today, Nokia 3310 has more value than BB bold.

“Always-On Display will have minimal customizability. [The] Current design basically looks like a toned-down lockscreen. Clock and battery charge is always visible. Notifications seem to be displayed using a bar and icons. Upon receiving, the notification will pop up normally except that the screen will not entirely light up. Instead, it will display just like you’re used to right now, except dimmed down and only temporally.”

"Always on" feature is what Nokia has had on their Belle OS series since the days of Nokia N900 series. Even FM transmitter, HDMI port out, USB OTG and Screen Mirroring were incorporated in those devices that had such vital features ahead of their time and peers. Nowadays you have to buy an extra in-car Bluetooth and FM transmitter just to have your device stream songs to your car stereo.

Nokia got so relaxed because they were making killings in sales and felt their kingdom will last forever. Agitations of fans like me that they should up their games from resistive touchscreens to capacitive touchscreens fell on deaf ears. The rest they say is history.

No kingdom last forever. Even Huawei has now diversified into Pig farming due to severe plummets in cell phone sales.

I miss those symbian days.

I put in my mouth a whole chunk of Maggi seasoning cube thinking it was Choco Milo.

I hated myself that day.

Mstcheeeeew!

"Masked President Buhari and Masked Uzodinma".

And I rushed to open the tread thinking in my mind that it seems it has officially been established that a fake Buhari has been in Ado Rock for a while now.

Presidency again! Not even Buhari.

It's becomin overwhelming that Buhari is probably no more.

Hallelujah!!!

Is this kind of fulfilling the promise that He shall made them to eat of their own flesh and drink of their own blood?

Turning against themselves while Nigerians enjoy the show.

I hope the story is true sha and not fake as usual because Nigeria Army and Nigerian politicians are masters of fake news and denials.

I thought it was "One coward, 39 heroes" short video clip by Mr. Macaroni chronicling his tortorous experience in the hands of the police.

This one is different.

Yeye people.

After dem Don make me lose more than half of my collection cos they turned down my registration when I needed to migrate my Microsoft Xbox music files to their platform as agreed between the two firms - Microsoft and Spotify.

They turned down registration because I was in a region not in the US or UK.

When a standing fan begins to have a humming sound when on and only starts rotating when the blade is rotated, what needs to be repaired? The capacitor at the regulator part has been changed, the refusal to rotate still persist.

All the fan repairers I used to see in the area seem to have disappeared.

Likely there is asymentrical energisation of the coil which may be the driving coils (that acts the role the permanent magnet plays in smaller motors) or the rotor coils itself. This could be from one of the three arms of the windings (star or delta winding) being improperly energised. Also I think the capacitor has a role to play in energising the coils.

Another reason may be that the replaced capacitor isn't the type required. Capacitors for AC motors usually are of two types - starting/torque capacitors and running capacitors. The former is to start the motor while the latter is to keep it running.

Wrong type of capacitor replacement may cause that.

I learnt this when my sliding gate opener started acting up due to a faulty capacitor. The rotation began to be pulsatile and this gave the gate a very unsteady and rough opening. Couldn't get a replacement cap with the exact rating on the stock capacitor so I went for something available around - the bigger rating of similar capacitors used in Okadas. It worked but the power consumption rose from 180 watts to around 300 watts. So I had to order the exact cap from AliExpress. I've since switched to DC gate opener, so I'm yet to even fix the capacitor to evaluate the working condition.

Summary is, the replaced capacitor in your fan may be the major culprit although the humming sound is more indicative of massive eddy currents that may result from poor coil energisation.

Good morning house, I was recently faced with a challenge. I have a 24v 5.4kwh LiPO4 bank and a 600amp 24v used Ritar battery bank. Tested alone the LiPO4 did not meet my daily need. It will usually go off around 2-3am (when I personally need it most!) and the used batteries much earlier at around 12mn at times.
I was discussing this challenge with a friend and he told me he connected his LiPO4 and SMF bank together(in parallel) to the same busbar and that has resolved his problems.
So I checked online https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/19981/mixing-lead-acid-and-lithium.html and realized many others have tried it with the pro and cons, different charging and discharging profiles mainly.

So I connected 200amp of the Ritar to my lithium bank to test run. I also used 28.2v bulk and 27.4 float charging profile on my inverter and CC. All connected yesterday evening. I was able to use the system overnight and even ironed with it this morning, however I was aware there was grid supply at some points overnight and therefore I can't say if it works or not.

It is early days yet. The risks are shortening the lifespan of the lithium and undercharging the lead acid but based on what seems to be happening as described by others, due to the BMS, lithium charges and discharges first and the lead acid charges and discharges last.

I will update the house on my experimentations and hopefully, no big bang episode!

What I can forsee is that the pack that discharges earlier will parasitize (parasitic discharge) on the pack that discharges late.

Worst case scenario is that in the event the late discharging pack or both packs hit Low Voltage Disconnect in the night before a recharging current is introduced from either sunlight or NEPA, the early discharger will overdrain (because they are connected in parallel) the late discharger, in an attempt to equalise the voltage.

For instance let's say the LFP stops at 11.8v LVD as dictated by the BMS, it will draw the lead acid pack down to something close to that if charging current is not introduced soon.

From personal experience using LFP and 18650 packs connected in parallel. The LFP are new packs while the 18650 are DIY used cells. This worked beyond expectation for over three weeks as I got more than 5hrs extra backup from the 18650 pack. But it soon became apparent I might lose the LFP packs earlier than its lifetime cos of progressively deteriorating backup performance (due to progressive cells imbalance) from the 18650. So I had to disconnect the parallel thingy.

A workable alternative may be you connecting and charging the two packs separately. Then a connect-disconnect switch/changeover DC switch can help you switch from one pack to the other without interruption in power.

Na wa o. One would probably need a crane to carry this 450 watts panel during installation.

To manually lift a 360 watts during installation is ardous already.
