still looking tartard and sub standard as they always were

well over to the #ambode is not joking crew

Smh.

If he doesn't do, you'll abuse.

If he does, still abuse

I told people that the HE means well.

I've sat down with him many times and he shared his vision for Lagos with us.

The man would transform Lagos to the extent that you'll beg him in 2023 to continue.

Bookmark my post and quite it in the future

That's our number 6 Gas Station.

100% Solar powered. No single connection to National grid.

90-110KW from Station 1-6 in different parts of Lagos
Gennex batteries
Gennex Hybrid Inverters
Gennex Solar Panels

The panels are always placed on the forecourt Canopy

NiyiOmoIyunade:
Well ...... there should not .....

But I think if you are paranoid, or want to go overboard with your protections....

Please let me defer to core power experts like Oga Pranil to talk about this one please - whether or not one still needs an SPD given sufficient earthing/grounding in place.

Is it General?

No no sunshine in my area since Wednesday. What's going on?

pranil:
Please do not use AC breaker in DC applications their designs are different. AN AC breaker uses the zero crossing of AC to extinguish arc while interrupting a current. For DC breaker it used electromagnets. using AC breaker in DC applications is a fire hazard

the following video is very instructive

There are many suppliers here on Nairaland. You can ask for 50 Amp or 63 AMP DC breaker (nonpolarized preferred for beginners)

Thanks. Would do as advised

NiyiOmoIyunade:
No boss.

Ogas Barezzi and Pranil have said it all. You cannot use an MCB to protect equipment - they exist to protect your wiring from overcurrent situations that could cause the wires to run hot, melt the insulation and cause a fire. They also reinforced that this particular MCB you had in the picture is not even DC rated hence unsuitable for use anywhere between your panels and batteries.

To protect from lightening do the following.

1) Install an external earthing/grounding point in your premises - connect the earth/ground side of all your AC equipment, earth/ground point (terminal or chassis) of CC and panels and negative post of batteries or battery bus bar (if paranoid) to this common building earth/ground point.

2) Install a lightening arrestor on your roof and connect this also to the common external ground/earth point for your premises

3) Optionally, Install a surge arrestor e.g the Midnite MNSPD 300 to further protect AC and DC components. Midnite has different ones for each application.

The common earth point in your premises will provide a safe path for all surge currents to be diverted to the ground.

The lightening arrestor on your roof represents an 'attractive spot' for lightening to hit and from there be diverted safely to ground.

NEC code is to have only one external earth/ground point per premises to prevent surge current arcing between earth/ground points and electrocuting people in between the current flow path.

Thanks. Yoruba people say 'Aa bere ona, kii sina'

If you ask for the way, you can't miss your way

Barezzi:
No, there's only DC between PV array and CC.
You can install it between your inverter and DB, provided it's single phase.

What I intend getting is a breaker to protect my CC from thunder or Surge.

With you're implying, this can't do it

Barezzi:
NDM1-125: is the model number of your mcb.
C100: is it's current rating.
230v: is it's operating voltage.

In summary, it's a 100A mcb for use in AC applications.

Thanks

so its between CC and Panels?

Bastard. So bamteddy were evicted cos of one single scene?

Miracle and Nina does theirs and uselessly left used 6 condoms near their bed and stole from Cece extra condom do not deserve to be evicted?

This man must be mad, who knows payporte? Visit the site and see rubbish products, and compare with Jumia and Konga

jaxxy:
Oga stop dis hypocrisy once and for all. Kim Kardashian dis worse and shes worth almost quarter a billion dollars. Ur here trolling a gal for sex in the toilet. Its not how u fall bt how u get back up from that. Let it go!

You dey mind Dem?

Efe that didn't have sex has faded away in less than 1 year. Even those that voted for him can now see that they did so based on fake logistics and not reasonable one.

Bisola and Ebuka who didn't win are more relevant than the winners during their time

ndy87:
I wonder the one Wey be miracle talent as everybody dey die put.

Zero Talent, but can smash Nina and forget to throw away the 6 used condoms Khloe found and reported to Rico and Cece

When last did she feature in a hit movie? Yet she lives a lavish lifestyle. This is the more you look, the less you see.

Same thing E money. Many Nigerians that are rich don't even have a particular thing that makes them rich, all we see is wealth and no source.

But if Danielle's money is coming from the Altar, it's not a nice thing Sha

Oga Niyi

Thank you for your good work so far.

Am surprised the glorified Canadian solar panels are assembled in China also and may be under similar conditions as 2nd tier ones.
That really makes me question their huge price tags or am I missing something?

Yes, but to Canadian Specs, not to African specs.

China builds for UAE and USA as well, but the gradings are quite different.

Same with Gennex batteries too. I'm using them at home

With over 1 billion human beings in China, Labour is very cheap. Recall Trump says China should start manufacturing in the US, same with Toyota and other conglomerates.

diadem10:
What stupid tasks? We're talking of brain power, you're talking of task? Abegi. Presentations? Smartness? Visionary intelligence? These are what we're talking about, not stupid task.

Many of them wouldn't understand.

See where our country is today?

If the followers of this show should decide our president in 2019, then Nigeria is in big mess

Everyone talking about Johnny.

Let me remind you that Johnny is a product of Reality Show.

He was a contestant on the 6th Edition of the MTN Project Fame Academy in 2013. Adewale won that year, but Johnny is more popular.

See list of MTN project fame Alumni
Iyanya 2008
Praise Adejo 2008
Bisola 2008
Chidinma 2010
Johnny 2013

That's what Talent does. It announces you.

Vote for talent over sentiments

oshe11:
If U don't know Katung browse bro. Not every BB HMs must be presenter.....

We all cannot forget that moment when 26 -year -old Katung was announced the winner. His win was surprising since he came into the house after the second eviction and won about 80 percent of the tasks. He and his co-housemate , Sandy , were kept in isolation with no external contact and zero access to TV or news for three weeks before being introduced to the show .
Katung proceeded to New York to get a directorial degree from the Digital Film Academy , after which he returned to Nigeria and worked on several projects. He produced and directed the movies
Unwanted Guest and Heaven’ s Hell .
He also directed a number of music videos for Chocolate City , Styl Plus , Gabriel Afolayan and starred in EbonyLife TV ’ s
Desperate Housewives . Currently, Katung is the Senior Channel Manager MTV Base and Executive Director at Chocolate City.

Great. I'm an advocate of Square for Square, and hole for hole

safarigirl:
Kevin won BBA in 2009, he was a talented guy, but today, nothing has been heard of him.

1+1 isn't always two.

Besides, some people's talent is going for reality shows eg Vicky Gomoti

Smh. I'm looking for smiley but can't find it on Nairaland.

Kevin Chuwang Pam was the first Nigerian to win the television reality show, Big Brother Africa, dubbed Revolution in 2009. With his millions he became the Chief Executive Officer, Down2Earth Entertainment. The Jos, Plateau State-born graduate of University of Jos also married his fellow Tanzania’s housemate, Elizabeth Gupta and they have been blessed with a baby girl. He shared with Adetutu Audu his journey into stardom and life after BBA.

SilentBang:
I read your earlier post and some others like yours where they talk about talent, intelligence, and all, and i think your are getting it all mixed up.

You see while BBN and Project fame and the likes are reality tv shows, the former BBN is not a TALENT SHOW. like the rest you mentioned above

In BBN its about your personality, you can be the dumpest, talentless, dirtiest being on earth just make me fall in love with who you are... and you sure got my vote.

Its a game, they re all there to win, Talent/skill/intelligence, without a charming personality wont make you a winner.

Personally im a fan of Alex for some reasons best known to me... but you see that girl Nina, she has a very charming personality, then miracle tobi teddy etc. Charming personality here is relative.

All i'm saying is that, not all realty tv shows are talent shows... and BBN is certainly not a TALENT show.

I'm struggling to agree with you, not cause you've not made valid points, but they're not strong enough.

Let's look at it this way, most people that comes out of shows such as this end up being faces.

Let's look at it this way.

UTI Nwachukwu won BBA. See UTI now the host of Jara, a presenter, host and actor. Talent and intelligence is what's making him, if not Africa Magic would have thrown him away.

Katung won BBN in 2006. No one knew what he's into, but evicted Ebuka is now a super star. Talent and intelligence.

Bisola didn't win the maiden edition of MTN project fame west Africa in 2008. She was announced to the world and years later she's acting. She was already known before BBN 2017. BBN 2017 further announced her to the world.

Debbie Rise was announced as idols (winner or runner up)

The list is endless. Platforms should be utilized for good things not just for talentless folks.

Those who won based on sentiments and not talents are no where to be found, but those that won based on talent and those that didn't win Like Ebuka, talent mixed up with platform (Reality Shows) and they're announced to the world.

Hello my people. (NiyiOmoIyunade)

I got the attached 125amps CB.

I'm wondering where I should put it.

1. Between Panels and CC or
2. Between CC and 2*200Ah batteries?

Panels are 270 watts *3 plus 250 watts= 1060 watts
CC= 40A E-Smart

Regards

HAH:
but they said the decorder that has data is not yet out, it only the sassy decoder that is normal decoder that is out

So we are to cough out another cash for that decoder?
Nigeria Why?

safarigirl:
I know that music reality shows are part of them, even the likes of Next Movie Stat and Gulder Ultimate Search..

However, the likes of Big Brother, KUWTK, Honey Booboo, Real Housewives of Anything etc is not for the smart and intellectual, so, don't expect much from those sorts of reality shows about people's lives.


Forget the winners especially, because more often than not, the biggest winners from these things are usually not those who win the actual show. That's why Tayo used to say that after the show inside the house, there is another show outside. Outside is the real deal

Then we're on same page

kodded:
if a white man did the same thing, you will be the first to shout racism




...so because she's IBO, she can't were another tribe traditional cloth, no wonder she hurriedly stole Nina horse tail and ibo cap, that stupid girl has just added tribalism to her evil list







...I pity the unfortunate man that will marry that short devil

Don't you no that the same fools that divided Nigeria under Jonathan and in 2015 ensured people voted along ethnic and religious lines are the same watching this show?

That stupid mentality of calling Nigeria a Zoo, Yorubas Afonja etc is already in that house.

Lolu, Tobi, Khloe, Bambam, Teddy A and Rico (Yoruba)
Cece, Alex, Nina, Miracle (Igbo)
Antoinette (Edo)

That's what's happening.

To hell with those responsible for the division of Nigeria.

Forget the pretense, Miracle or Nina would end up winning, not based on intelligence, but based on sentiment

HAH:
if he does kindly update me in channels especially sports and documentary, I have abs 3 FTA but I cannot pay for those channels, hope there will be improvement on the official decoder, I honestly want to patronise tstv

They'll soon encrypt those channels.

Star times started out like that in 2010 on C band. I tracked and watched free until star times was launched fully.

I'll surely get the decoder for browsing sake(data promised)

safarigirl:
how do you know what reality TV is all about?

How many have you watched? There have been more dumb, uncultured winners of reality TV shows than intellectuals, it's a sad fact.

Most actual intellectuals do not even bother with reality TV, because they know there are elements of fakeness in it. So, of course, intellectuals cannot win a show that is not watched by majority of their own and in all sincerity, they shouldn't even be on it

So things you got right, whilst you messed majority up.

First understand what reality TV shows mean.
Many of you do not know.

Take about 15means to read this link and revert back

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality_television

MTN project fame
Next movie star
Star Quest
BBN
BBA
Nigerians Got talent
The Executives
Etc and lots more are examples of what can be likened to reality shows.

It quite obvious many of the people here do not know. We discovered Iyanya, PSquare, Chidinma, DNA, Ebuka etc from reality shows, same way we've discovered non talented folks like Efe and Mating(winner of BBN in 2006)

It is not only for idiots, but also for the intellectuals, but there are grades, which is what you've mixed up by saying its only for low intelligent people.
Yes BBN is being watched by high class and low class, but from posts on social media, its obvious more retards watch BBN than the high class

NiyiOmoIyunade:
Yes the Canadian Solar panels are firing better indeed. The Flames are not doing bad at all either for a Tier 2 panel with 2 years on the roof.

The reason why the Canadian Solar makes sense for me now is because I was able to get them at a super bargain price from Gennex Tech.... else if they came at a premium like sellers on here advertise for Solar World and Canadian Solar then the extra performance would have already been priced and even over priced into the purchase price hence would not have made financial sense.

That said the Gennex Canadian Solar have impressed me so much that I want to get 1kw more to add to my array - although I don't need it now, adding 3 more 330w panels will complete all my present and possible future needs as I move from 6.6kw to 7.6kw PV array

I am struggling hard to resist the temptation and Zeestone has preached endlessly to me to not go ahead but I fear I will succumb to the temptation soon ...

I have all your suggestions already in place for the MorningStars except for the separate voltage sense cables. From what I remember MorningStar said it was okay to parallel the voltage sense cables but I will give separate cables a chance again and revert with the outcome.

That's my company you know?
When you mentioned Canada, I waited to read the Name of Company and I'm happy you mentioned Gennex.

iamJ:
i swear nothing surprises me, gotv is the problem, since they allowed poor to have access, that was the end of it for intelligent housemates


let me mention the favorites since last year

efe
marvis
nina
miracle


all of them are dumb, imagine the top favorites are always dumb people, nigerians say they prefer them cause they connect, if u connect with a dumb person it means that ure also dumb na



another way to understand is the way they campaign, see the way a fan of teddy a, lolu or tobi campaigns, u will see maturity, check nina and miracle fans, ghetto things

I salute you.

You get brain like I do.

Miracle and Nina are dumb, even their fans know that.

Let's compare them with the others.

Lolu speaks well and knows how to do presentations. That's a trait someone like Obama and Fashola possess. Speaking fluently and coherently.

Bisola was made an ambassador cos she spoke fluently and coherently. Now she's a brand face for DSTV.

Anto lolu's partner is also matured and intelligent.

Bambam on Friday showed us what it is to be intelligent and have retentive memory. Leaders need to have brains and not be like Trump or Buhari that says he doesn't know the IGP disobeyed him(I'm disappointed with PMB)

Emem Isong is a big movie maker. She featured Bambam. Trust me, she wouldn't work with a dumbass

Teddy A shows what creativity looks like. The advert they did for Flex Condom and radio jingle depicts what advertising practitioners do to earn millions.

Some fools would say the show is reality TV. Ask them if they know the meaning of reality.

Ebuka didn't win BBN in 2006 cos of the poor logic of the voters back then. No see Ebuka turn to media person extraordinary. Ebuka is now a role model.

Praise Adejo didn't win mtn project fame in 2008, but he's doing well

Omawumi came second in idols West Africa, but doing well.

That's what reality TV is all about. Discovering future stars and not dumb ass.
No one is interested in failures, but such.

Come supply me TSTV oo.
I'm home all day tomorrow

HAH:
Tstv are claiming they have some new channels including sports on their website which we don't have on abs3, are they lieing again or we should expect the sports channels as they claim they are now rolling out

I guess we've been over this discourse since 2017

They can re broadcast any channel from any satellite or IPTV that are not on abs 3.

Same way DSTV on 36° east have on their package Canal sat channels that broadcast from 22° west.

During Live matches, they can decide to air them via IPTV, all that would be showing on your TV is the match, but they could have gotten the feed from Galaxy or earth

HAH:
will it be aired on kfs

Yes it was

I watched online via Sky sport though. Can't afford to miss any fight of AJBXN
