What's your battery bank?

A 24v 8Kwh

Infrared is not the same as the regular hotplate o, the regular hotplate consumes a lot of power and can't be controlled.
You can select the output power coming from the infrared which makes it much better.
If you kept yours a while longer, you might have seen it's advantages.

It was hot plate the man had not an infrared cooker because the infrared cooking technology which does not require a magnetic pot to work came after the induction cooker. So, it is an improvement over the induction cooker which is gradually being phased out.

ClassicMan202:
Please sir, kindly explain more on how induction cooker in not too good for one's health but you are recommending infrared cooker.

An induction cooker works by using an electromagnetic field to generate heat directly within magnetic cookware, rather than heating a surface element. An alternating current passes through a copper coil, creating a magnetic field that induces eddy currents inside the pot, creating rapid heat via electrical resistance.
When magnetic cookware (iron/stainless steel) is placed on top, the magnetic field induces eddy currents, which are small swirling electrical currents within the metal pan itself. The pan’s resistance to these eddy currents converts the electrical energy into intense, fast heat directly in the pot.
Summarily, the magnetically induced heating is generated inside the steel pot and it’s directed on the food. So, the foods will eventually absorb some of the magnetic radiation during cooking.
Whereas the infrared cooker works like the regular hot plates making use of heating elements but the power can be regulated and it’s quite faster with different setting modes and timer.

This is the one I have abi this nor be induction cooker? I use it with any pot and the big side is pulling 1.7kw while the small side is pulling 1.1kw and wen it get hot it turns off automatically and comes up after some few seconds continually like dat, though it is very fast wen am using it for cooking,

This is a regular hot plate and the power consumption can’t be regulated. Just go for an infrared cooker because the induction is not too good for one’s health due to it’s working mechanism.

osayuwamwen:
Pls can u set it to 800watt my see as e red reach abeg

Why not go for an infrared cooker like Fred, it has a maximum power of 2200w but can be reduced to as low as 100w and at 800w-1000w the burner turns red. It’s quite fast, energy efficient, has timer, works with any pot and comes with grill stand for grilling or roasting corn. It’s what I’m using as I we have stopped using gas since last year.

Deluxe8000:
Please what are its features and it's limitations. 8kwh 24v battery

Pls enjoy your battery in peace, it’s a good and reliable battery. But if you are just planning to buy one, just ask the seller what features to expect from his battery. Happy Sunday.

Polaris1:
How do I clean the vents please? Brushing, blowing, vacuuming or remove casing and cleanup.
Clogged vents might be why my cooling fan has been hyperblowing (with the attendant loud noise lately.

You can follow the following steps to clean the inverter vents:
1. Unscrew the two vent covers and remove the foams, Do take note of the foam side facing outward so as to correctly replace the foams after cleaning.
2. Clean the vent spaces with a clean rag.
3. Clean the vent covers with clean rag.
4. Dust the two foams and gently wipe them with clothes.
5. Replace the foams and screw back the covers.

CuteMaro:
Oh ok..Mrreed's is fancy enough and it's one of the best deal out there. The 200 amps Jk bms with the bluetooth monitoring is just top notch. It's what I use.

Yes, Mrreed’s batteries are good and I’m equally using one but it’s important to let a prospective buyer know the missing features so that he can limit his expectations and not turn around to blame the person that recommended it.

CuteMaro:
Haisic or Luxsun 4.2kva 24v hybrid inverter 340k ish
Mrreed 8kwh 24v LiFePO4 battery 870k
500 watts panel x4 400k ish
Find 200k for installation and materials you're good to go.

This will power even a 1.5hp AC and a 1hp submersible.

This is good if he’s willing to up his initial budget. I thought he might prefer a battery with a communication port and fancy look, hence my suggestion.

micxwell:
All my Ogas, una good evening o. Please, can you advise me on what ₦1.6 million can get me? I’m not sure if it will be enough to power a 1HP water pump and a 1HP inverter AC (Not concurrently pls) and this will be used in the afternoon only.

If you don’t intend to be charging with Solar panels for now, you can go for a 4.2KVA Hybrid Inverter and a 8kwh LifePo4 Battery. Your 1.6m will cover the inverter and battery plus installations.

Beframia:
Hello house,
I would be very grateful if anyone here can help give the sizes of the various components required to set up a solar system using the info below. Any other good battery type asides lithium should be recommended.
TV - 70W - 6hrs
Decoder - 50W - 6hrs
Led lights - 40W - 6hrs
Phone - 30W - 6hrs
Refrigerator - 1.2kWh/24hrs - 6hrs
Fan - 70W - 6hrs

Thanks.

The wattage you indicated for the Refrigerator is not quite clear, but 1.2kw/24hrs = 50W/hr

Total loads = 310W/hr *6, that’s approximately 2kwh
You can go for a 1.5KVA 12V Hybrid Inverter + 4Kwh LifePo4 Battery, 450W Jinko panel *3 or 4.

osayuwamwen:
I just try it again now with no pv input and it still carry the pump and it pulling 1.9kw too, I think the issue was with the pump at first, reason it was pulling 4.1kw

Good to know that your battery can handle the pump load. I have been enjoying my inverter so far and I believe you will too. You should clean the air vents after two months of usage.

Converting KVA to KW
At a typical power factor (PF) of 0.8, 4.2 kVA is equal to 3.36 kW
4.2x0.8  = 3.36
This conversion depends on the power factor of the load, where,
KW = KVA x PF

Therefore, 4.2 kVA Conversion Examples:
* 0.8 PF (Standard): 3.36 kW
* 0.9 PF (Efficient): 3.78 kW
* 1.0 PF (Resistive): 4.2

bassdow:
is that actually a SNAKE ?
Though sure looks like one

Maybe it’s my old age, man is already close to 50.

osayuwamwen:
It is not snake I just wrap am round with cloth bcus of lizard falling inside the hole

Ok, but try to enlarge the picture you uploaded and see it yourself. The snake might have crawl out from there, so you need to be careful around there or even fumigate your compound if necessary. Stay safe man.

CuteMaro:
If the continuous discharge current of the battery is 100A, and the pump is pulling 1.9kw (79 amps), how is it possible that it can't power the pump?

Unless maybe other loads are already pulling enough power which the total sum is above 100A.

The startup surge of the pump will definitely be more than 1.9kw as what’s being displayed by the inverter is just the running power of the pump.

osayuwamwen:
Finally

It’s like there’s a snake under your borehole, pls check well. I’m seeing something like a snake in this borehole picture you posted.

osayuwamwen:
Tanks all my 4, I just test my pump again and my 4200watt luxsun inverter carry am it pumping now and the pump power is 1.9kw
I tink na my pump malfunction that's why it was pulling 4.1kw b4, my pv is generating 3.2k and my pump is pulling 1.9kw

Your pump wasn’t malfunctioning, and the problem was not from the inverter but your battery. The pump is working now because of the pv coming from your solar panels. I will advise that you leave your Grid charging current at 60A but Solar charging can be set from 80A - 100A. Finally you have confirmed my earlier claim that the 4.2kva Luxsun inverter can power a 1.5hp submersible pump but your battery was not just designed for higher current discharge. Happy weekend to you and Mr Baasdow.

You see in the time past when Automatic gear vehicle first came out, many people especially mechanics condemned it and said the manual gear cars are better. Now see where we are today.
So also was the double SIM phones, people said single SIM phone was better. Even Smart TVs, many argued that the regular TVs are the best but you can see how we are all embracing the Smart TVs now. In every sphere of human endeavors there are constant innovations because life is about growth and development.
Few years back, it was the 250w panel that was the highest Solar panel available in the market but today, we have 750w and 815w solar panels.
We should try to stay updated and learn to adapt to new technologies that will make life better for us. High frequency inverters are the main deal now, the time for heavy transformer inverters has passed. And It’s always better to work smarter than to continue to work harder.

osayuwamwen:
But if later on I change the submersible pump to 1.5hp hybrid solar pump can the inverter still power it efficiently well without struggle ?

My input was based on experience in using the same 4.2kva Luxsun inverter and general knowledge in electrical installations. This particular inverter is no doubt one of the best Hybrid Tranforless Inverter out there. And to correct Mr. Bassdow, the new modern technology has gone beyond huge transformer powered inverters and there’s hardly anything that the Transformer- based inverter can power that the high frequency inverter can’t handle. I have my facts on this. The reason why most big inverter manufacturing companies like Derey Deye, Felicity are phasing out the Transformer-based inverters in there higher capacity inverters. There’s no point always arguing to defend old technologies when there are better technological innovations with greater efficiencies and reliability. By the way, I got my battery from that humble Mrreed and it’s getting close to a year now. Mrreed you owe me a metal casing though because you were using wooden casings that time.

As for the complainant, your problem is from your battery. The rated discharge current is 100A which is safe for a 12V Battery system, even though you combine too in series to get 24v, the current remains the same. You can confirm my claim by putting other loads (not the borehole machine) that will exceed 100A on the inverter, and check if it not indicate the same error.
As for the suitability of the 1.5hp for your borehole, I am using a 1hp Interdab submersible pump for my 100m deep borehole and the inverter is powering it without issues. So, if your borehole isn’t deeper than 100m, a 1hp original Italian pump will work for it.

osayuwamwen:
Pls my 4200watt luxsun inverter 24v could not power my 1.5hpower submersible pump, but it power my electric cooker and hair fryer, when I on my pump the inverter shows the submersible pump is pulling 4kw and shows 100% load. 1.5hpower submersible pump is less than 1500watt I think

The 4.2KVA Luxsun inverter not being able to power your borehole 1.5hp submersible pump could be as a result of the following:
1. Does your Lithium Battery BMS support high current discharge because the 1.5hp pump will definitely draw high current at startup. As such a 200A BMS is recommended for a 24V Battery that is paired with a 4.2KVA Inverter.

2. Are you powering other electronics/ gadgets while attempting to power the 1.5hp pump because those other gadgets might overload the inverter.

3. What brand is your 1.5hp Submersible Pump because some brands are designed to pull excessive high currents during startup than others. You can check the power rating on the different brands available to confirm this.

Besides, I normally use the same 4.2KVa Luxsun Hybrid Inverter to power my 1hp Interdab submersible pump. It normally consumes 1.4kw but draws 2.2kw at startup. I even use the inverter to power my 1hp surface pump and cooker at the same time.

Xanderone:
It's Available. 11wh. 3000mah

New or used and how much per one?

osayuwamwen:
My solar upgrade journey e nor easy I finally bought luxsun 4200watt 24v inverter yesterday, na panel come remain, pls were can i get original jinko monofacial solar panels in Benin?

Luxsun hybrid inverters are also good, that’s what I’m using and I have purchased it for a few clients. My 4.2kv Luxsun inverter powers my electric cooker and 1hp pumping machine at the same time.

emmaodet:


It has to do mainly with the earning power of the man.
Tbh, i like stay-at-home mums.
They always have more time for the family - kids and hubby and fresh. Not stressed out.
Most wives in Lekki at stay-at-home mums or just doing one minor stress-free biz just to keep them slightly busy.
My wife is a stay-at-home mum and i give her with the 2 kids 500k per month for upkeep excluding me and i still have more than enough for myself.
The question now is, how many men even earn the feeding money in a month?
How many house hold ( both husband and wife working) earn 500k a month?
Even if my wife is working or a woman decides to work, how many of them are even going to earn 150k to 200k a month to make a tangible contribution to the man?
Abi no be this nigeria again where na so so 30k, 50k per month job full ground?

God forbid something happens to you tomorrow and you are unable to meetup with the financial responsibilities of your family, who will cater for your family since you do not support that the wife should be engaged so as to support the home no matter how small.

oluchibabe:
Hi Guys,
I forgot Batteries inside this Multi Tester l bought and the Batteries leaked juice inside it.
Now, it does not come up again.
Can it be repaired, has anyone faced this issue and how did you resolve it.
I hate to think l have to throw it away, cost me #180K.

This Clamp Metre can be repaired, what’s your location or WhatsApp number?

adibo:
Good morning. Thanks for your reply. First of all, let me re-emphasise that I did not make the post with a mindset of slighting anyone. Not at all, I have even tried convincing my brother who installs solar panels to buy from Mr Valto several times.

Secondly, you can't come and just say that what I said is not true, when you are not in his chats and daily discussions. I am not a kid that will come to a public platform and be posting lies.

I asked him if he has 5kwh battery and he gave me a price for it. If you now say that it is actually not 5kwh but 4.5kwh, does that make my statement false?

I am not an expert, if the true capacity is 4.5kwh, how am I supposed to know that? I only spoke based on the fact that he gave me a price for a 5kwh battery. That chat is in my phone, but I don't need to post it, cus like I said, I am not here to cause issues. I just wanted clarification.

Let me clarify that there are indeed 5Kwh Lithium Batteries that’s either a 24v or 48v battery. There’s no 5kwh 12v lithium battery.
You may wish to note that:
100ah 48v - 51.2v = 5kwh
200ah 24v-25.6v = 5kwh

fuckboys:
okay I’ll take a look, I’d have to turn it off again for that. Thanks chief.

It’s important to dust the air vents , clean the dust filters and fan blades once in 3 months for better performance and efficiency of your hybrid inverter.

You can combine 580w with 590w because the difference is negligible and they are also from the same brand.

oloet:
ah! I already have 2pcs of 590w so I can't combine it with a lower wattage

Try another charger and you should read the charger output and battery with a multimeter if you have one.

capnies:
@hassdow
Thank you brother but the charging bar did not move at all, that's my problem

And

I've used that battery for over a month charging my phone before trying to recharge it now

Yes, whether single or two hot plates attached to gas burners/coolers. They normally come with regulators to control the heat and power consumption. It’s energy efficient just as the induction cooker.

ajabani4allah:
Thanks for this enlightenment. Do you mean the single hot plate usually attached to 3 gas burner with oven?

It’s still ok, the voltage difference is negligible since the panels will be connected in series. And to ensure that the hole won’t expand further, you need to apply a suitable glue to cover the hole.

kristien4:
the other panel reads 48v the dented one reads 46v.. what do you think??
