MrExpensive:
Boss @ Gptech please what is the conversion of 212cc to hp or how many KVA is the generator.

I just bought kemage 4800 generator for my 1.5hp Lorenzo water pump.

What's the power rating of the gen? So many wrong info online. Or just snap the gen with the inscription on it. You can also check the manual for the specs.
You cannot use just the engine size to determine kva. Two gen sets from same manufacturer can have same engine size but difference kva because of different coil size.

GabrielYulaw:
Oh wow. That particular home theater system has always been on my buy list. If the problem is this widespread, maybe it's best I seek out other home theatres. Except LG seems to make the best.
Do let us know what your electrician discover is the cause of the issue.

LG seems to make the best home theater systems or marketers sell mostly LG?

southsouthking:
This is the thread I've been looking for.

Please I'm hear to ask a very important question as I'm confused on what generator to get.

This is what i want to power simultaneously.
1.5 HP Hisense inverter Air-condition
Scanfrost deep freezer.
Hisense Led TV 4k
One laptop
and some few energy saving bulbs.

The Gen must have a very low noise.

Please someone should answer me I'm begging the generator gurus on this thread.

A gen of the required size with low noise is not sold in 9ja. Get at least a 3.5kva gen. Sumec Eco 3990 or Thermocool optima 4000ES.

Toma2:
Help me check..

I thought you have the gen. Ignore what is written on sumecplaza website, that's a wrong info.

Toma2:
The SPG3000 is rated 2.5kva not 3.5
SPG3800 is rated 3.5kva

KVA and KW are not the same. Check well, what you saw was 2.5KW.

Abkid:
good evening guys
please I need Xiaomi redmi note 4x screen digitiser

Buy the full screen with frame instead.

tizteezy:
Noted bro
Thanks for the swift response

Uwc.

tizteezy:
Good afternoon Chief

Please what about 1hp non inverter skyrun AC?

Can Firman SPG 2900 run it comfortably?

You'll ruin the gen in the long run.

tizteezy:
Hello boss

Make I disturb you once again pls


Can Firman SPG 2900 (2kva) power a 1 HP inverter AC very comfortably?

If yes, can a any or more other load from the list below be added to it?

Table Top Hisense fridge
Scanfrost 800w blender
LED tv 32 inches
Small 40W LG Xboom home theater
Kenstar 18" standing fan rated at 68w

It will. You can add the Tv and the home theater too.

WarriAproko:
how do i get good rings for thermocool optimum 3500E

Just go to their care center.

WarriAproko:
baba my Heir thermocool 3.5kva is shorting oil. What could be the cause

Does it smoke too? Can be a number of reasons especially bad rings.

tizteezy:
Thank you boss

3.5 KVA will be enough to run the AC with a table top Hisense fridge, standing fan and led tv at the same time?

Is it inverter Ac? If not that gen will suffer.

tizteezy:
Thank you so much

So you'd rather I go for:

Sumec Firman
Elepaq Constant
Thermocool

Hope they're good choices?

Also

Can a 2.5kva generator run a 1.5hp Hisense AC?

For that size remove elepaq from your list and no, a 2.5kva generator is too small for a 1.5hp AC.

tizteezy:
Thank you sir

What about Parsun 4000DXE. Barely used for one year plus.

In working condition

Good deal?

I saw somewhere on the blog that Parsun use capacitors. Does this make them a poor brand?

Avoid generators with capacitors if you value your electronic appliances.

brandon180:
Good evening boss please I need your assistance, I turned on my gen today and tried putting on my fridge but the generator did as if it wanted to go off, when I put the fridge off, the generator picked back again.
I don’t know what the problem is.

What's the power of the gen? Its possible running speed is too low.

tizteezy:
He's selling for 100,000

He's fixing the exciter before selling


He says he wants to get a bigger one for his home needs

Hmm, amount is questionable, new one is getting close to 300k, even a new Junior of around 1.2kva is well over a 100k. If you have a good trusted technician you should take him along. I am thinking there are likely hidden issues with the gen.

tizteezy:
Boss please help with the above 🙏

How much is he selling it? Why is he selling?

Ykeyz:
u mean I can power haeir thermocool bobo with any 700watts microwave & tv 150watts fan 150watts?

Yes.

Ykeyz:
how many watts is smaller microwave?

You stated it already, 700W.

Sunny7701:
I want to get Sumec, but I don’t think they have 3.5kva , the next one after 3.0kva is 6.0 and I think it will be too much.. Please what do you suggest I do ?

Who doesn't have 3.5kva? One of the most popular Generators, the Spg3000 is 3.5kva. There are many options between 3.5kva to 6kva.

Ykeyz:
Prof in d house.
Can haeir thermocool generator 2.5kva bobo carry microwave microwave rated input 1050 watts.
Microwave rated output 700 watts.
Tv 150watts & fan 150watts?

Please kindly respond to this.Thanks

Use it with the smaller microwave, it's safer

CicyNkpa:
What year?

2019

Mayor21:
Ok boss, this is it

This obviously is what you get from a faulty cord.

anthoniosp:
I got the firman Gen instead 6kva and last night it refused to turn on, it wasn't even kicking and even when I try to use the manual rope, that one too isn't working. A new gen I just bought.

And the key is turned to the 'on' position? If you did everything right and it's not coming up, simple return it. If you want to try something, you can try another spark plug. Many times, these sellers replace original spark plugs with cheaper ones.

Sunny7701:
Professors in the house, I’m planning to get a generator but what kind of generator and what kva should i go for??
1.5Hp inverter ac
Two fans
Sound system and one 58 inch smart tv
A game console, one laptop
One Refrigerator

Please I need a response from you guys please..thanks

3.5-4.5kva generator.

osic:
Thank you so much, can you please recommend a good brand.

Don't know if this is still available. Contact @Graceglory if he still has this

Arinze96:
Is it because of the ACs? Will 3.5kva be enough if there is no 2hp AC in the picture? If yes, what brand would you advice I go for?

Thank you.

Yes, because of the Acs. 3.5-4.5kva is not bad for the 1.5hp AC. I recommend only Sumec and Thermocool, but you can check out Maxi too.

osic:
For protection against power fluctuations with PHCN power supply and since I read here that I can use a stabilizer with a generator, I want to be safer than sorry.

I need your honest opinion. Thank you.

A good surge protector should do a better job. If you normally have low voltage supply in your neighborhood then it makes sense to get a stabilizer.

de3lar:
How about the fuel consumption, won't it consume too much fuel if I leave it at factory settings?

Leave it at factory settings and avoid rapid wear of the engine. You believe these technicians know more than manufacturers?

shedo4sure:
Just bought this gen few days ago and I just learnt here that it uses an aluminium coil 😔. If I had discovered this thread earlier, I wouldn't have settled for it.

Please, how long do you think this gen can serve me b4 it eventually breaks down? Can the coil be replaced with copper should it fail or start giving me problems

It can last you for as long as possible provided you don't use it for heavy loads and change oil regularly.

Arinze96:
Good evening bosses.

Please I need a generator recommendation.
The loads are; 1.5hp, 2hp both inverter ACs, a smart TV, a game console and a 130L fridge.

I'd appreciate something with low noise, fuel efficiency and isn't too expensive.

Thank you.

A 5kva generator should do. It's going to be noisy compared to smaller generators, consume more fuel and of course expensive.

osic:
Good afternoon everyone,

What stabilizer voltage can I use with a generator with 2.0-2.5kva to power a 115kva Freezer.
Thank you.

Why do you want to use a stabilizer?
