@gptech, I have a budget of 105k, and I want to buy a gen that will power a deep freezer, TV, OX fan, sound system.

Please recommend a good and original product.

Thank you greatly for your usual assistance.

Tec Bobo or Firman SPG 2500.

Parzival001:
Please Gptech. I'd really need your reply on this

If it's actually Sumec Stores you went to, then go ahead. This is manual start, it's normal for it to be cheaper than electric start.

Please I want to buy this gen

It is a used maxi generator, I want to know if it is a good and reliable brand and also if it can power 1.5 HP non inverter AC and one deep freezer.

Is it good for 250k ?

Thank you.

If those are the main items you plan to use, then it's better to buy a brand new generator with that amount. If the generator you posted is original, it's a very big generator and will consume much fuel. Being used, who knows if some parts have been tampered with?

Skinnygee1:
Will lowering the firing speed of a generator reduce the fuel consumption?this Firman 3000 consumes like 3 litres in 3 Hours.

Loads: 1tv, 2 fans(ox) and 4 white bulbs,I don't even use it with the fridge most times

Yes it should.

CelebrityP:
Good morning, I saw a thermocool 2.2kva, recoil series on a declutter page I will like to buy.
Please i need urgent advice.
I want to use it for an emel sewing machine, industrial iron and a fridge. Not at the time though

What's the power of the pressing iron? It's most likely not going to power it. It won't even power a steam pressing iron of 2000W.

I have a Redmi 8 for sale... Honestly I love this my phone but the way it consumes data...ah! Imagine doing 1k sub for 2.9gb and it finishes in 3days...watn I use pass f.b, watsapp and my mail wey I Dy check....Tori olorun... infact cux of this data matter I stopped opening my I.G page thinking that was the problem...The way I abandoned YouTube Nko? ☹️..I have used MTN data, Glo and even Airtel...all na same story...abeg I tire...even with the fact that I have restricted most of my apps.

But na you dey use the data na, not village people . Screenshot your data usage here u go see am. Facebook and whatspp, you nr dey watch video status and stories?

Squarebb:
Good afternoon house, I want to know if I win this dispute.

Wait for 3 days, everything looks fine.

Parzival001:
Hello GP tech.
I'm in the market for a good Gen
Can Tec Bobo power these appliances?
1hp non-inverter AC
43 inches tv
Ps5
A medium sized fridge.
Your reply is very much appreciated sir.
That's my AC below

Yes it should.

Parzival001:
Also please where's the anti fake 16 digits on sumec generators located on the gen?

I think the anti fake digits is for spare parts.

Prechy2836:
That's new on a Monday?

Indeed, stress too much for this country .

Omcd:
What gen over 5kva would you recommend pls?

Any between Thermocool and Sumec Firman.

lykwhoishe:
Does anyone know a thing about rewinding a generator to increase the output so as to power higher loads from an otherwise smaller generator? Heard a generator repair guy mention it

First of all, whatever coil they are going to use won't be original copper, so power can't be like follow come. This should be possible only if coil has been tampered with or is not genuine. Many of those technicians do guess work. There's no way a small engine can deliver bigger power not meant for it. It's just like trying to convert a 2 storey building to 4 with same foundation

somehow:
Please any danger using a generator with higher capacity than the available load?

No, only waste of energy.

Mariomadiba:
It is a non inverter 1.5hp hisense AC

Ok, 4kva.

gsparks01:
everything takes time

Weldone sir.

Artzdanielsz:
Chairman is thermocool junior good in term of fuel consumption and also the price it's now and how to know the original. Pls help.

Its fuel efficient. Price should start from around 80k. So long you buy from Thermocool showrooms, there no need to be afraid of buying a fake.

Sheuns:
Hello chief. Can a 3.5k a gen power a 1.5HP Midea AC without issues? It’s a conventional AC.

Not advisable unless it's inverter type AC.

lexrichy:
2hp

Ooo, ok then.

lexrichy:
Good evening am about to buy a generator for my bore hole came across kemage 6.5kva and fireman FPG8800E2 please which should i go for? The seller said both are good, i also need a gen with low fuel consumption thanks.

Just curious, what's the price of each generator? A generator of this size has no business with fuel efficiency, it is made to drink fuel. What's the power of your borehole, you may not need such large generator.

Mariomadiba:
Seconded. I’ve been contemplating on getting a keymage generator for a while now. Please guys, how many KVA is required to carry a 1.5hp AC. And 145L deep freezer at the same time ? The rest appliances in the room are just tv and fancy lights

Around 4 kva should be good since you didn't state if the AC is inverter type.

Opistorincos:
Good evening bosses in the house. I just happened to see 2.5HP on my gen today. I've tried to convert that to kva to no avail. What is the equivalent of 2.5hp in kva?

Cc
Gptech

There's no direct conversion for this. The HP is the mechanical power of the engine while the kva is the electrical power from the coil. It's a complex process. You can have two machines with same HP but different KVA because of some other factors like difference in the number of turns on the coils. An example is the Sumec 3000E2 and the ECO3990 both with 6.5Hp engine but different kvas.
What you should do is look on the generator, the power is normally written on it.

Sheisenough01:
Just checked its KW. Bought from an authorised dealer nearby so I can always hold someone just in case.


Even carried an engineer and was checking every area for the logo.

Nice, enjoy your machine.

Sheisenough01:
Bought it yesterday at 168k, the engineer didn't price well as their headoffuce quoted 145K. The E3000E2.

Min Kva is 2.5 max is 2.8kva anything else is a fake.


Too early to comment on performance. So far so good.

I hope they didn't write 2.5kva anywhere, otherwise na fake. So you know, KVA is not equal to KW. If 2.8kW and 2.5kw are written, then no wahala because 1kw=1000w.

Yamleg:
It was a gift from my friend in Germany. Its worth more than 180k excluding the shipping fees.

Ok, use any of the blue plugs and check if the voltage is still high.

Yamleg:
Bro, the voltage might be the equivalent of our own 240v. It's a German gen.

240V in Nigeria is the same anywhere in the world. You either operate with 220V or 120V, there's no other. By the way, a simple Google search is on the screenshot.
Why do you think it's a German generator? Even if it is, are you certain it's original? How much did you buy it and what's the power rating?

Modified : its also possible the generator is a 3 phase generator, if that's the case, you can get such high voltages of over 300V but only on the red socket. Check if the voltage on the blue socket is less.

Sheisenough01:
Does anyone have an idea of the price range of an original Firmec Suman E3000E2 ? The kva as well. I'm getting different info online.

Urgent reply please.

Price should start from 160k. It is 2800W (3.5kva) starting power and 2500(3.125KVa) running power.

Yamleg:
Thanks. Its been reduced to 300.

Please what's the cause of flickering light. Could it be the reduced voltage or the firing speed.

300V is still too high, it should be from 220-230V. The flickering should be from your AVR, I think it's bad or getting bad.

Yamleg:
I just got a German Generator and it's voltage is 400. I hope there will be no issue

Your appliances are at risk, get a technician to help reduce it.

tadetiloye:
.yes its like a 2sec change then it normalized.so am I good to go in using the gen with the freezer?

Yes, it's ok.

casig:
What capacity of generator can I use for 2HP submersible (sumo) borehole pump?

Get a generator with around 5000W capacity, that's around 6.25KVA.

tadetiloye:
200litres, energy saving it consume 0.77kw/h. When I used it with the gen it change sound and normalize back but I read something about over working a gen and frying it up.so just want to be sure is still within the required load

What do you mean by change of sound? Is it the like one second change in sound immediately you turn on the freezer or its sustained? If it's just one second, it's normal even for bigger generators, because compressors use way more than their rated power for start up.

tadetiloye:
please reply

Maybe, what's the size of the freezer?
