FEGEITOK:


I have 2 units of the exact same inverter. I have even used it to pump water though I had to turn off other appliances. Not the best use of the inverter I agree but I have had zero issues in the 2 years that I have run them.

That said do you mind sending it to Abuja so it can diagnosed and possibly repaired here?

When you said you sent them messages? Do you mind sending those messages along with the proof of purchase? Was it via the Schneider website or the reseller you bought from?

Who did you buy from?

My distributor is a big name Schneider shop.

I just put a call to them to find out if they would not mnd taking a look at the unit. They said they do not mind.

Do you have an idea what happened that caused it to go bad?

You said it is still under warranty. Do you have proof of purchase? If yes, I would like to help you take up the matter.

FEGEITOK:


Inverter?
If yes which model to be exact?
Where are you based?

FEGEITOK:
There is something new under the sun

What are your thoughts?

udemzyudex:


It will do the job,you can use lazysoft software.

udemzyudex:


You want the one that over clock right.

Milito:


The inverter is just to backup lights and computers in a workplace until change over to gen and vice versa (less than 5mins at different times throughout the day only).

A number of the lights are halogen spotlights with high energy consumption; which was why the load Audit recommended 7.5KVA. The 4 unit battery is to save cost in view of the small backup time required.

FEGEITOK:


The battery had finally become unsafe to use.

If I did not drive in 2 days it would read 12.3V or 12.2V and would be unable to start the car.

If I drove the night before and then attempted to start the next morning, even if it started, you would hear sounds like the battery was on its last day in the process of starting.

But I panelled its life for some 10 minutes to 15 minutes, it would serve me for the whole day.

But the next day it would need to be panelled.

I delayed the purchase of a replacement battery because I wanted a top of the range OEM grade automotive car battery.

I finally got an original Bosch battery after a lot of queries and that is when I retired the battery that came with the car.

I was therefore able to trade the fear of being stranded for the comfort and security of a battery made by a name that can be trusted to deliver now and for the long run.

This is the catch. An inkjet print will work no issues. It uses very little power. But you will pay through your nose for ink. A laser jet printer will likely trip your inverter. Maybe the more recent versions will work, if you put everything else off while running them. Their cartridges cost less in the long run, but their energy costs are higher

aieromon:


KB Service Centre just received a new shipment of Bosch batteries ranging from 50 to 250Ah.

The 74Ah battery costs ₦45,000.

N.B - They charge VAT for corporate organisations.

fuckboys:
yours might probably be a hardware issue then, mine has been 💯 since I went back to Windows 7.

I'll be keeping this laptop on Windows 7 till I'm ready to upgrade to a better laptop.

Adewale1603:
what version of windows 7. Did you downgrade it to. And is it 32 or 64bits

fuckboys:
I'm using exactly same laptop and same is happening to me.

I think the os is the cause because the system is kinda old. I did a little experiment and downgrade back the win7 and it stopped.


Win8 and 10 same thing, it goes blank when you turn it on, I just force shutdown and turn on again for the display to turn on.

I just love the 3115m cos it's rugged, the laptop no dey get fault at all. Been using it for years.

fuckboys:
Impossible, you're doing a fresh install. You'd loose everything.

If you have money to spare, you can do what I did and you'd never loose a file.

I have 3 HDDs I interchange depending on my needs. All 3 are running win7, 8 and 10.

Be aware that opening a PV breaker or any other breaker will not help protect against a surge, a decent surge will jump right across the space between the contacts and do its evil work. When a breaker trips upon impact from lightning induced surge, the surge current already passed through well before the breaker could respond.

litaninja:
@gadgetplanetng

This is where I was hoping we'd land

litaninja:
Lol. If he were home for that period, how would he manually prevent the lightning damage?

mahkanjuh:
Good people
Please do not ignore my questions pls

Please, which 1.2kva 12V or 1.5kva 12V pure sine wave inverter is recommended to be the best that is not so expensive and is save with all gadget, a modified sine wave once spoilt my smart tv before, I can’t afford that again. Possibly with automatic switch over function, suggestion pls, someone once mentioned mopower to me, kindly give me the best house please
Note: my Battery is lithium

Gr8teejay:
Good morning geniuses in the house. Please is it recommend to leave a battery charging through solar and travel for a month or to disconnect and go?

udemzyudex:


When connected to an external monitor even if it goes blank on the laptop it still works on the external monitor?

Forrkke:


This one even thinks he did me a favor by doing the installation for me. He said he charges more than he charged me.

He’s also a family friend, so there’s limit to how I can express my displeasure in his character and whatever rubbish he installed in my house that’s not working properly. I’m not expected to complain too much, since he charged me 10k less, according to him.

“How much you pay gan sef…” Those where his words

gadgetplanetng:
I know this is on short notice,

But I'd need someone experienced to come along for an energy audit by 10am tomorrow in Port Harcourt (Olu Obasanjo Rd).

For a 10/20Kv system.

odimbannamdi:

Please, how can this be resolved? Is earthing really the issue and what can we do? Also, what is likely to have spoilt in the inverter? I just weak...something wey I no even charge them, based on hobby and relationship waka, i now lost a precious inverter...

earthrealm:


Also had tha t issue sometime ago, 2 inverters died within 6months, after the 2nd death i told owner to do a new earthing just for the inverter, as i suspected the shared earthing had voltage leakage....going to 6months now everything is working ok. consider doing this or dont hook up to earthing at all and observe

odimbannamdi:


Please, how did they do do a new dedicated earthinh for the inverter? Also, how can I NOT hook it up to earthing at all? I can't see any useful videos on Youtube

earthrealm:


thats a fault situation.
disconnect it from battery either by turning of the battery supply breaker or manually disconnecting one of the battery terminals for about 30secs to 350secs and reconnect

Juror:


If you have a PV breaker, you could trip it first then the battery, otherwise you could've done it at night when there wasn't any solar input.
And if you don't have a PV breaker you should introduce one.
