AC means, Alternating Current, while DC means, Direct Current.


AC adapters are used with electrical devices that require power but do not contain internal components to derive the required voltage and power from mains power, if the device is connected by any means without the adapter, ban kwana!!!

Thanks boss

Your mobile phone, tablet, laptop, GoTV/startimes decoder, rechargeable clippers, rechargeable fans and android TV box etc are all in a sense AC/DC devices that run on AC via their external power pack (which converts the incoming AC to DC before it enters the device.

Just as you can jettison your phone AC charger and continue charging via DC supply from a power bank, so also you can decide to jettison the AC chargers of those other items and power them on laptop power bank and other DC direct sources that correspond with their rated voltage.

Ditto, DC TVs, AC/DC fans etc.

So yes, all DC TVs should be able to run on AC source via a power pack that converts the 230vac to 24v, 12v or 9v DC outputs that powers your TV port depending on the DC voltage requirements of the device.

This is very clear enough to understand and I must appreciate ur time and deft in crafting this very meticulous response.

Thanks alot.keep the good work. Can't thank you enough.

Your Scanfrost is strictly AC powered with the power board/pack built into the unit, so you can't use it directly with DC. You'll instead need an inverter plugged into the DC source.

The TVs that are DC powered usually have a DC input port at the back. The port is where you plug in the external power pack (similar to how it works on a laptop) and it's also the point you can plug in your modded DC plug. Your Scanfrost has only AC port, not DC port.

See attached picture.

thanks once again.

But one quick and important question. can all DC tv run on AC source? or is DC tv different from AC/DC TV? .

thanks

ceaser:
An AC TV can not directly run on DC source. They are however 19 inches to 32 inches TV that has the power pack external like in a laptop. In those, you can jettison the power pack and use a DC cable to connect them directly to your DC source (usually 12vdc, 15vdc or 19vdc) depending on the size of the TV.

On the flip side, if you still wanna go with your AC TV, then you will require a DC to AC inverter to be plugged into your DC source to serve the TV.

If your TV does not consume so much power, there are small form factor inverters the size of cigarette lighters than you can co-opt to power your TV. If you intend to plug more AC devices along with the TV, then you will require bigger inverters.

I appreciate your very quick and apt response. Thank you very much.

Specifically, my tv is a scanfrost 32" tv of 56watts. If the option you stated above is not so expensive I will gladly embrace otherwise, I am thinking that I can convert a laptop adapter to power the tv by jettisoning the two ends(plugs) of the adapter and connect to source directly.

In any case, kindly advise on the best, possible and appropriate direction.

Thanks a bunch.

Hello house. Pls I need help. I will like to use My 32" Led tv on my soon-to-setup Solar/DC system. My question is that is it possible for AC tv to run on DC? If so what do I need to get/do?. Thanks in anticipation of urgent response(s)

Hello house. Pls I av a 32" LED TV and I am planning to use it on my soon-to-setup Solar/Dc system. My question is that; can it work? If yes what will I need to do. Thanks in anticipation of a very urgent response.

Hello guys. I used to run a view center up till late last year. I have diverted my energy into another line therefore I want to sell my 2 decoders (extraview account) with full accessories. Pls buzz me up or WhatsApp on 08024567853

helinues:
There is no need to disqualify him

Direct primary will do the trick

it may not likely do the trick.

Reason:
The anointed candidate (ize iyamu) will most likely also go down via certificate scandal/ multiple litigations. Oshiomole as a crook is leaving nothing to chance and resolute in ensuring obaseki go down even if it means end of this 'world'

Lesson:
Becareful because what is backing you today may face you tomorrow

Verdict:
Let them begin to cancel themselves out until a decent polity (Nigeria) is achieved.

JKisOK:
For starters, Mrs. Kofoworola Akerele-Bucknor NEVER contested the Lagos AD governorship primaries. The 1999 contest was a straight fight between Bola Tinubu and Funso Williams. And up till now, there remains the heated contention about which of them ACTUALLY won. One faction under Ganiyu Dawodu (then Lagos AD Chairman) gave victory to Funso, while the National Executive Council through the National Vice Chairman, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, forwarded the name of Tinubu to INEC as the candidate. Statutorily, INEC deals with the National Executive of parties not state chapters. So Bola Tinubu sailed through as against Funso that the State Chairman had declared the winner of the Lagos AD primaries.

Tinubu adopted Bucknor as Deputy Governorship Candidate and Running Mate in deference to and compensation for the support of the AD Babas, including Abraham Adesanya, Adebanjo, etc. But the cordial relationship between Tinubu and the Babas did not survive for long and culminated in the ouster of Bucknor who complained of being kept in the cold by Tinubu although she was supposedly his Deputy.

Interestingly, in Edo APC primaries, that may be the banker Oshiomhole is hoping to deploy against Governor Obaseki i.e. that it is the result and candidate presented by the party's National Executive that INEC would accept. Let us wait and see.

This is implicitly misleading, perhaps a confabulation. please double check your record of history. i mean no jibe anyway!
if i may ask in which faction did kofo bucknor ?contested?

ehissi:
This is a beautiful piece, if not that it is laden with a lot of half-truths - I think calling them lies will only bruise the ego of the author - that attempts to glorify some political actors using borrowed robes.


Chief of which is the fact that Tinubu did not win the AD gubernatorial primaries.

It was Dr. Mrs Kofoworola Bucknor-Akerele that won the fated gubernatorial primaries. It was simply handed down to Tinubu - by intervention and intense lobbying of his adopted mother and the Mandate group - because the Oba of Lagos insisted that a woman cannot be governor in lagos.

Why? The staff of office of a Traditional Ruler flows from the governor's office. A female governor makes a woman seemingly a superior over the Oba, which is not acceptable in yoruba land.

And as such she was asked to take the lesser role of deputy governor...........................a role she resigned from in protest, because she alleged that Tinubu was using lagos state money to build political alliance aimed at seizing the presidency, despite all the wonderful and lofty plans they had for lagos state; plans that were eventually implemented by the Fashola administration..........

An allegation that rang true when, Tinubu and some of his henchmen broke out of AD to form the ACN - which initially drew the ire and scorn of Afenifere - which morphed into the hydra-headed monster called APC of today................

As often, i managed to sneak out of my shell to pay my respect to ur historical deftness.
you have also commented modestly. pls keep this up!

Of note: it was a contest between trio of Funso, tinubu and kofo bucknor. first, second and third respectively.the NWC of AD prevailed over pa Ganiu Dawodu to submit Tinubu name instead.

human race generally and africans particularly love rewriting history to sooth their narratives and ego hence the cruelty that abound in this world.

Esseite:
The Edo APC wants indirect primary while the Abuja APC wants the direct primary..

its not within the prerogative of any party's state chapter (EDO APC) to dictate what mode of primary to be adopted in a guber race.

please whenever there are laid down rules, regulations or proceedures lets ensure we follow them.That you/I like some thing does not make it the right choice.

obaseki should nurse no fear or worry all that he needs is to "ice the cake he has baked"

life is very funny and simple ...what is backing you now may face you later. let the duo of oshiomole and obaseki face off. How i wish both of them lose out cos they are all rogues they mean nothing to masses save disaster.

[quote author=GRACEGLORY post=90390107][/quote]Thank you very much. ur time and info is well appreciated.

earthrealm:
yet coming back from another undeserved ban, guess its about time i stop posting on this thread and migrate fully to other reliable solar -diy forums.
to your questions, is the bolded true?. if 200ah 12v, then ur 2nits of 150 watts panel would only charge the battery halfway, and your inverter will mostly work during the day and shut down at night......if perchance you actually meant a battery bank of 200ah 24v, then your 300watts panel doesnt stand a chance

thanks bro

hello my good ppl. i.have two daunting questions
1. what is the difference between hdtv and smart tv?

2. can a 56watts tv run on a solar/dc power supply? if yes, is it direct or with aid of an adapter?

thank y'all

Penuelseun:
It really depends on the state of the batteries but I always assign 600watts solar panels to one 200ah battery to cover for inefficiencies. Why don't you state you power requirements here so we can start from there

thanks. response highly appreciated. the targeted power has been stated. anyway 300watts is targeted.

earthrealm:
go to this thread and buy your solar items. justmanuel has delivered to many, hassle free

thanks

i have been directed to this thread by a good samarithan. inspite of dwelling on/in nairaland day and night i have never ran into this age long(about 10years) thread! Honestly, you guys are amazing and wonderful hereon

. How feasible/reliable/compatible can a USED 200ah battery of 24v charged with 2x 150w solar panel. i got an offer for the battery but its seems inconsistent with my targeted 300w energy

Its very urgent. Thank you.

earthrealm:
doesnt make any sense buying such from there, the cost of freight makes it useless and more expensive

thank you very much. honestly this is highly appreciated and timely.

pls hse i need assistance as i would like to buy few items(inverter battery and solar panel) from aliexpress/alibaba. can i get someone put me through?. thanks

yanabasee1:
Oshiomole said he has never lose a battle before and Obaseki took those words for granted.....


The same certificate that earned him the governor sit is the same certificate that will step him down....

But why is this regime filled with certificate wahala??

it has always been like that in this country since 11232BC but the "social media era" is the new wind blowing fowl "yansh".
Most Nigerian politicians are glorified touts who were rusticated on social issues relating to malpractices, forgery, activisim et al. hence the reason for this colossal maladministration.

Charisdesigns:
Firstly I must commend you for the sketch and your drafting skill, that's a good one there

Now here are my thoughts
1) The position of the v.wc is not too great, because it has taken some Chunk out of the squareness of the living room, therefore effecting the schematic (flow) of the living room.

2)The second bedroom, it will be great if you leave it @ ensuite, since you have already made provision for vwc

3) The pantry: I am of the opinion that it will be ok if you swap it position with the exit/corridor, if the corridor is at the back end, it will give you the opportunity to have 90-270 ° view of the building with just been at the corridor and looking out, because the way it is set up currently, you will have to step out of the house, then walk your way to the backyard to see or know what's happening there.

4) For the roof, please consider Dutch Gable for it, since the design is a straight one without much set backs and shootings...

Attach is an example of how you can affix your vwc, for better flow and great furniture arrangements for your house

Thank you very much. I feel humbled and honored to have you dissect my sketch especially from a hurriedly and poorly taken shot

As you have pointed out above, some of the issues have been dealt with amongst my wife, kids (passively) and i.
We are looking to eliminate visitors toilet completely and we have already interchanged pantry to exit/corridor.

I will take another holistic and possibly final look into the sketch by applying contributions of all before I bring it forward again.

Thank you once again. May you reach your height and continue to live dreams. Cheers

uncleteeh:
Yeah, Your drafting skill is a great one.
Just that there are some rudiments to follow in design. Some examples are cross ventilation of the bedrooms, clear separation btwn the public area and the semi private part and the private parts of the building.
You will need an architect for better and clearer interpretation of this dream of yours.
You can consult us @ OAK Group.
08108408732

Thank you very much.
Compliment well received.

saydfact:
I know you follow me here (on NL)- I dont take that for granted.... send me a whatsapp message, I'll fix whatever is left in the amazing design you already have, you have a complete design and free consultation up to when your design is up by God's grace, plus if its in Lagos (I'm not promising because of my schedule) I could pay it a visit...

Goodluck

First, thank you very much for taking time to study and understand my sketch. It's never easy to put that together same is expected for the person vetting it especially from a poorly taken shot.
Above all, I appreciate your gesture; Indeed and greatly so. Following you hereon is an added advantage for me as I wait on your submissions on issues most time having consider you a luminary in this profession.
I pray you reach your height and continue to soar. Thank you very much. i will chat you up as I consider it an opportunity that I can't refuse.

Hello professioals in this great house! having followed this thread from inception/long enough i believe its high time i started my project as a DIY enthusiast.

I humbly seek the support of amiable members of this thread in my new adventure. i have enjoyed great deal of privilege hereon as i read from professionals doing justice to questions and proffering solutions thereabout. Honestly, for as long as i av been around, this thread has been like no other.

Although, i had stints(out of love and curiosity) with few construction/property firms earlier in my career but couldnt reach the height i would have love to, as i have no root in civil/building engineering. i still admire builders any day any time.

I have drawn a sketch of my proposed simple and low-cost 2bedroom family apartment (picture attached). please feel free to scrutinise and correct as appropriate. Also i will welcome any suggestion on roof design as i have been divided in between pitch and gable designs in order to fall within budget without compromising aesthetics.

NB: If you find my attached drawing good enough it shows i have been taught/learning well , if otherwise then i need to be scolded and made to take subsequent classes more seriously.

My position is that in as much as i am totally in support of ur late uncle's wife, i also salute ur consideration having brought the matter hereon. BUT it is important to understand the kind of woman she is....tolerance, understanding, wisdom , divine intervention is key amongst you, ur wife and the woman in order to forge ahead seamlessly.

I am convinced from all angle that u (OP) are a betterman (if not best) for the job. all that is needed is the consultation and subsequent ratification by kinsmen.

pls OP tell us after all these our advice what is ur eventual line of action o. i just hope its not a nollywood script as its at times stressful to put words together talkless of typing epistles.

nams77:
I have come to that realization a while ago. There are some brands that are so good but overlooked because they are not mainstream.

I started doing research on TVs and discovered that brands like TCL, skyworth, xiaomi are great TVs but LG and Samsung don cast market

correct guy
