@ mukhcech, you should have shown the picture of the back that carries the nameplate rating. It looks like a 650va UPS and that"s about 400watts of usable power.

@dragnet, in sorting the loads for the inverter, i completely remove them from the Distribution Board and put on my own Circuit Breaker.

SOCKET

The socket provides the source of charge for the inverter, if I use double 13anps, then there is also an external charger that takes the other space.

I hope it's clear.

CIRCUIT BREAKER

This is to protect the inverter from fault current coming from the loads attached to the inverter.

2. In case the inverter is faulty and needed to taken out for repairs, with the change over you can switch to utility or Gen pending when the repairs is completed

Brief explanations on my installation
KNIFE SWITCH
Also called a change over, serves two major purposes
1. To change from utility or Gen to inverter and vice versa. Most if not all inverter comes with automatic change over device built into them, at times the supply might be bad and the inverter will refuse to trigger this auto device, in that case the knife switch provides a good opportunity to change over.

Hello Feflo. Please could you explain what a converted UPS is? is it just a UPS with jumped battery wire to a Bigger battery?

I have a 2200VA Blue Gate UPS and would be glad if I can make an Inverter out of it.

Thanks.

I guess we already discussed over the phone.

Thanks

I am very sorry. I was banned for replying a post on my thread. I think the ban is being lifted, will answer all questions later.

They are used batteries. I have two remaining but I'm seriously considering them for personal use. Will update the house if they are available for sale.

Many thanks

I love this thread.. Thumbs uo man...

Pls Feflo, what's the difference between the converted UPS and the normal inverter, because I noticed the UPS is always cheaper than the normal inverter... Thanks

There's technically no difference.

Thanks

Solar /Inverter Installations

Deluxe8000:
BIG PROBLEM. what could be wrong with my solar system? In less than 10mins it moves from 11.9v to 13.8v. This means that it has cut off solar energy for the day.

My first guess is "CHECK YOUR BATTERY"

THANKS

Cassie74:
Pls what's the best 200 ah batteries around and what is the Big difference between China and German batteries

Getting the "BEST" 200ah battery is a very difficult question to answer. I have seen flooded trojan batteries fail in about three months of
operation, I have also supplied MERCURY AGM batteries that worked for over 3years and another supply of thesame MERCURY batteries that
died in about a year of operation. When it comes to battery durability so many factors comes into play, I will just give you my own rule of the
thumb when selecting batteries and of course its not fool proof:

1. Make sure for a 200ah battery, the weight is at least 60kg and for 100ah at least 30kg in weight.
2. Make sure they are properly charged and the charger cuts off when the battery is fully charged.
3. Make sure the batteries are not drained below the system voltage. That means for a 12vdc system, do not drain the battery below 12v and
for a 24vdc system, do not drain below 24v and so on.

Thanks

WHAT IS LEFT IN THE PACKAGE AND CAN THIS WORK FLAWLESSLY

Solar panels, charge controller, Solar Racks and cables.
The inverter solution will definitely work flawlessly as long as it is charged by either utility supply or generator.
Thanks

matoseyems:
Can old and new battery be combined due to the cost of brand new battery.

Not advisable

matoseyems:
Nice job guys. I need a Solar package that can power, 32'led TV, dstv decorder, 1 standing fan and 2 energy saving bulbs, and should at least last 7hrs if fully charged.

My budget is 120k or a little above it.

For that price, no but you can begin with Inverter and add Solar panels with time.
