Gentlelord:
The frequency is showing above 50, between 51 -52.

How about the noise. Anyway to confirm its the actual decibel?

The frequency is ok, for the noise there's nothing you can do about it. I am abit surprised because the bigger one is not noisy. Hope you are not comparing the noise with that of many boutique owners. Many of them have reduced the running speed to very minimal levels.

Gentlelord:
Great engineers in the house please help,

I just got the gen below today from Thermocool showroom.

After turning it on I noticed it makes so much noise, and when I connect only Hisense 160l Ref 222, it makes a sharp noise then stabilize, and after working, my surge protector trips and goes red.

Dem suppose test am for you before taking it home. Check that VFT display, press the little button just below it to show the frequency. It should not be less than 50.

Thanks bro, I wasn't too comfortable with his reply, so I searched further on YouTube and discovered that I can actually adjust the voltage supply from the AVR. There is a potentiometer at the back of the AVR which when adjusted anti-clockwise reduces the voltage supply. I did that and the voltage has normalised.

Nice! DIY is one of the best forms of knowledge, bravo!

stonedigital:
Have done that twice but they keep sending an inferior screen that won't up to a month

Its very difficult to see any screen that is exactly like the original. Buy from another seller, Aliexpress is still your best bet.

genius43:
Mine is still with the person I gave it to last year.

You like see Redmi note 4/4x? .

joetoocute:
Kinldly help

At least a 3.5kva generator will do.

In my own case, the voltage supply from my Tec 3500Es gen goes below 220+ Volts to as low as 185 volts. Though it still carry my fridge , should i be worried?

Your own na low voltage. You'll have issues if you want to use it to power some appliances like pumps. Have you checked the AVR?

sylva1:
Hello house, please the voltage supply from my gen is fluctuating. It fluctuates between 220+ Volts and up to 246 Volts as attached. I recently changed the AVR and serviced it. I have adjusted the carburetor valve to as low as possible, yet it still persists. What else could be done to return the voltage to the normal range?

To return to normal stable voltage first check If the sound of the generator fluctuates. If it does, then the governor should be checked. If the generator sounds normal then the AVR is still the issue.

DoggoneDogg:
You're not giving him a good response, you know.
Your answers are contradictory.

The voltage is fine but can't power the surge protector, so what's the point?

Naaa, you are not getting it. If a voltage of 260V is unsafe and you have a surge protector, it doesn't necessarily need to wait till the voltage gets to 260V before tripping off, in many cases it does so at voltages close to the unsafe voltage.

sylva1:
But my surge protector keeps tripping off at that voltage

Your surge protector is made to work that way.

sylva1:
Is 246 Volts not too high? Before now, it's used to be stable at 220Volts, thereabouts!

Its within safe limit.

revkay:
what can be done for the running speed? is it fixable ?
Thanks!

Yes, you can adjust the screw turning it to your right to increase it.

So long its fluctuating within a safe range as you have shown I see nothing to worry about.

Good afternoon house , I need your expert advice please
My Firman gen 6.5kva , less than 2 years old, is siginicantly weak capacity wise .
It used to be able to power 2 ACs , fridge and the rest of my gadgets no problems . But over 3 months now , it hardly powers half of my gadgets.

PS. I should add that I use it for long periods at a time , basically anytime NEPA goes off .

My questions
- is this a common occurence with generators i.e do they get weak over time
- is there anything I can do to restore its lost power (or time to get a new one?)

thanks.

Have you called anyone to service it? How often do you change oil? Its possible the running speed has reduced drastically.

2felix:
Please how do you clean the air filter?

The procedure is written on the air filter cover, just bend down and read .

whogatti:
Please can a 2.0kva gen power a 0.75hp pumping machine.

2kva? What's the name of the generator?

edimolu:
You know of any store in Ibadan you can recommend? One that sells either of them, top quality.

No I don't.

edimolu:
Thanks bro, I appreciate.

But omoh I no go fit run am, thermocool price no be here for the 4.5kva. My budget is 150k or at most, a top of few thousands to that.

It's either sumec or elepaq, if you have a good store for this, I'll appreciate.

Original Sumec 4.5kva is over 230K. That Elepaq is far from 4.5kva in reality. Your budget may not even get you a 3.5kva generator currently.

kunmi007:
PLEASE I NEED HELP WITH THIS. Thank you!

Go to their service center.

Good morning guys. I've been having problems with my redmi note 7 pro since on Monday.
First, it sent off while the battery was at 50+ percent. I tried to switch it on but it shows an empty battery sign with on the screen. Then I plugged it to charge and I was able to switch it on. After charging fully, the phone went off when battery was at 70 percent. I charged it again and was using the phone, then it went off again at 90 perfect. Since yesterday till now I can't even use the phone without plugging in the socket to charge, it has basically become a desktop. I tried resetting it but it only got worse. Now it keeps restarting it self and won't pass the redmi logo . But once I plug in the charger it comes on and battery is stuck at 82 percent. Once I unplug the charger, the phone goes off. Please what's the problem and likely solutions? I base in Nasarawa and Abuja, thanks

Battery is dead, change it asap before it swells and damage your screen.

Baylam:
My Tec gen Igwe 8100ES Amateurs coil got burnt. The technician boy said if I want to recoil 25k and if I want to buy another coil 30k ,please I need professional advice on what to do

Contact any of their repair centres close to you and buy a new coil.

JESSE2:
Please someone should help me,i just bought redmi note 11s ,i was sending text messages fine but some few days now i can't send text messages,
The funny part is they will debit me the #4 but the message won't be delivered

How many sims are you using? Check if its your main sim messages are sent from.

AesSedai:
My Redmi 9 has been stuck in a bootloop mode since yesterday. It just stops at the Redmi logo, switches off and then reboots itself at that point continuously

I did nothing to it beyond just rebooting the phone after it started lagging a little. And it ended up in this state till now. I have tried rebooting from recovery mode to no avail. Even tried to reboot it when charging and otherwise, yet nothing is working. It will just be rebooting itself all the time whenever it shows the "Redmi" logo. It doesn't even get to the "MIUI" logo

Is there any way I can solve this issue without wiping my data and resetting the phone? I have files I'd rather not lose in there, and they are not backed up yet

Phone is Redmi 9, Global ROM. And it has not been unlocked or modified in any way since I bought it two years ago. I don tire for this matter

Allow the battery to run down, charge and try again. Factory reset will most likely be the way to go since bootloader is locked.

honharr:
Can a 2.0KVa generator carry my 8kg washing machine.?.I intend to plug only this appliance and shut down every other thing when I want to wash.

This depends on the power of the washing machine, some 8kg are over 2000W, some are less than 1000W. Check the power of your machine.

Basilekeh:
Good Evening guys...please can a 3.5kva carry a pimping machine?

Depends on the power and type of the pumping machine. It will carry a 1HP surface pump.

Blunt4:
Hello everyone, I have this generator MAXI E25KW and it handles all my appliances but recently I overhauled the mechanical engine and I am going to change the exhaust silencer. But there is this thing I am looking at, since the E25KW and E28KW has the same mechanical engines (GX200 equivalent) then it means that the E25KW can handle the same coil size in the E28KW which means more output power.
Please you can see here their pictures with their charts and specification from fouani. Thank you

You mean you want to change to a bigger coil?

ShallyK:
please help, generator is on but not supplying electricity. We have checked the cable connection and its fine.
This happened last year and the person we called said its brush issue which he changed and everything seem okay.
Now it's happening again. Please what can be the actual fault. Thanks.

Loss of Residual Magnetism. That's the likely cause. You can check YouTube on how to fix this issue using a portable drilling machine. You can read more about the issue here https://emcsolutions.com/2021/04/02/why-does-my-generator-run-but-not-produce-electricity/

Yamleg:
Thanks, what's the difference between capacitor and avr? When is the capacitor said to be faulty?

silverng:
Any good recommendations for a generator that can power 1.5hp LG smart inverter AC, 1hp thermocool non inverter AC and and mini freezer.

Was looking at the TEC Igwe 8500es 7.0kva generator. Is this good?

A 5kva/4kW generator is good for this task.

Yamleg:
House I need hint of the problem with my sumec gen.
Two days ago, while the Generator was working, the current suddenly went low while the Gen was still running.
I replaced the oil the following day.
I decided to use the Generator today; the Gen worked smoothly for about 3hrs, while the Gen was working the current suddenly went low again until I went to switch it off.


Please what could be the cause/reason/problem of the Generator.
Thanks

Faulty AVR.

TechGeek777:
This machine does not take much power, I have it.

Washing Section = 360 Watts
Spinning / Wind Jet Dry Section = 260 Watts

I had to write emails to official LG email addresses both in SA, Dubai and Ng requesting for the wattage, even fuoani could not tell me the wattage and that made me not to buy it from them despite it was one thousand naira lesser than what I bought it.

Note: I used the smallest elepaq constant 1kva to power this machine comfortably.

@Gptech, I remembered asking you if Elepaq Sv6800 can power this machine but it was the seller that gave me a definite answer that I better pass my neighbor can power it; and we tested the machine before I bought it.

So bro your tec3.75kva will power this washing machine comfortably.

I had to take my time to write this to help others who intend to get this machine but are skeptical if they Gen Kva can power it.

Very helpful,nice!

@gptech

Hello boss. Which product is better between sumec firman Eco 3990ES 3.2kva vs Elepaq constant SV6800E2 4.5Kva

Power needs: smart tv, sound bar, 100 liter freezer, 176 liter fridge, 2 standing fans, 0.65kva inverter, 1000 watts electric iron and 1200 watts microwave

Go with the Sumec but don't use the iron and microwave at the same time. Its even better to turn off appliances like the freezer and fridge when using either the electric iron or the microwave oven.
