I'm curious to know how you measured the pf.

We were able to run an 1.5 ton lg inverter ac, microwave, freezer and fridge totalling about 3000w simultaneously and inverter display was 92% load. At least its more than pf 0.8 for sure

Noted! Many thanks, again!

I don't think the yohako CC is bad. That is if it's really mppt. Infact I prefer it to makeskyblue. The major mistake you made is buying a 5kw 24v instead of 48v. Hope your cables are minimum 35mm2 or higher? Get solar flood lights that charge and come on @ night. You can monitor your CC and know the highest watts you have gotten from your installed panel capacity before changing your SCC.
Famicare really suprised me,as their 3.5kva 24v my bro bought has an idle consumption of 18 watts! Which is even better than my axpert 3kva. Also its power factor is about 0.95 (yea we measured) an impressive feat considering most Indian low freq inveter are pf 0.8.

Pls I have an issue with honda accord 2008, 4 cylinder.

Was driving when suddenly, it stopped on the road , it cranks on each trial , but engine wont start.

An electrician and mechanic were called.

Discovered fuel was getting to the engine meaning the fuel pump was ok.


Checked/Tested the spark plugs with the ignition coil and discovered that there was no sparks at the plug head.
Suspecting it was a current issue.

All other sensors connection that was seen still looked connected.

Scanned diagnosis brought like 66 errors codes ,

We suspected brainbox, we brought another brainbox , called someone to program the brainbox. The car started, tried moving front and back, the car moved . BUT THE DRIVE GEAR KEEPS BLINKING.


The brainbox programmer said its because the last serial digit on the new ECM was not exact.

We rescanned with the new ECM and error codes was reduced to 5 error codes


So pls I want to know-
- if the problem is really the brainbox or should another electrician check for something else?

-Can the old brainbox be fixed?

-How much is cost of Honda Accord 2008 brainbox (pple are telling me 170k, which I think is expensive)?

-Finding the exact brainbox has been difficult in PH, what guarantees do I have on brainbox brought from outside the state (Lagos,Onitsha).

Pls help

You should have put back the old brain box and do another scan

Guys please sniper elite interesting? The one on PS4. I have the 3, 4 and 5 edition. I haven't played any.

It is. If you like steath, you'd like it. Although can also be played without stealth, but would be no fun

Hello guys I've finally done it. Wheew after so many weeks and months. My uncharted is now version 1.33 the latest version installed on ps4 lower version jailbreak.

I play games on version 1.0 unless the bugs are too much making it unplayable. I'm sure I played this uncharted 4 on disc without any update and never had any issues

If they stop this tomorrow, you'll be the one to complain and ask why.
You're already here running your mouth to something that has been used for months now.

I don't understand. Is it suppose to be a secret or a cheat. Something that even sterling Bank promotes to get more customers

I am just in love with Victron. Victron is amazing . Problem is the price . My 1.6kva victron does wonders . Runs my fridge and freezer, 2 Laptops, lighting points, 55 inches TV, Routers and V-sat and phone charging and more . All less than 50% of its ability.

When I visit another property that I have a 2kva Mikrotec Inverter , just 2 laptops and a tv , the inverter fan kicks in and it starts struggling.

I would rather have an 800w victron Inverter against buying other 1.6kva of other brand

Struggling? Then the 2kva microtek is faulty

Thank you, Yes I have been having this code since. And do you mean I should get Another VTC solenoid as in the picture below. And no I haven’t been running the engine on low oil. I am using 5w30. So now the only options are get another solenoid or timing chain or tensioner/adjuster ?

You can test for the vtc solenoid using an advanced scan tool.

I've been a victim of that twice, all you need to do is to contact their customer and explain the transaction in detail to them providing the amount, date, type of transaction made for both the purchase made and the refund received. I don't know why they keep doing that till now, GTB always refunds at current market rates and never try to cheat their customers like SCB does. That's why I stopped using them for AliExpress transactions. After complaints, it will take about six weeks for them to send you the balance after checking their records. You need to make them understand because most times they pretend they don't understand what you're saying, I had to explain severally via calls and mails to get the issue resolved, at the end the balance they sent was still short of the rates I paid but closer to it.

I've attached a sample of the mail I sent to them for guidance.

Thanks. I've written to them for 2 weeks and no reply. There must be a way to report them for this "sharp" business practise

I had a refund from aliexpress fro an item that wasn't delivered and when I bought the item, I used standard chartered Bank for the transaction and was charged about ₦500 naira to a dollar but on refund I was refunded at around ₦300 for a dollar. I've contacted them and they simply choose to ignore me . Who has experienced such?

PWM makes sense & is more economical @ 12v and below 600w array, especially if the distance is less than 15m...or the user is running 16mm dual core from the panels

Well we don't know the voltage of his panels.

Let me advise you based on my setup which consists of a 12v 1.2kva inverter, 120ah lifepo4 battery with 120a BMS, 600w panels connected to a 60a pwm CC. It powers my electronics which are a 43" led tv, a LG home theater system, a DC ceiling fan, charges laptops and phones with about 4 10w AC bulbs. I put on my fridge occasionally during periods of good sunlight.
So far so good, I have electricity 24/7

You can afford lithium battery and still use pwm cc. ....

Perhaps you should upsize your cabling between the SPD and main panel to counter the extra length - it would have been easy to put the SPDs close by if you had planned for it from the get go.

Do you have the MCOV and Clamp Voltage rating for the TOMZNs? This will give you an idea what level of protection they promise and you can then test using a high voltage generator (such as used for electric fences) whether the SPD is clamping any voltage at all.

The Midnite SPDs are rated for Type 1 and 2 usage I think.



This is what I got after some research

Satellite TV Technology / Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Namzy(m): 9:00am On Aug 21, 2022
NiyiOmoIyunade:
What SPDs are you buying?

A lot of the el cheapo SPDs actually offer very little protection and with a lightning hit, you get only one chance.

The 1st level and primary protection is the quality of your protective earthing, everything else depends on that, the job of the SPD is to limit the voltage rise the downstream equipment sees by rapidly shunting any faults to the earth.

The 1 meter rule is to achieve best chance of protection in case of an induced surge by placing the SPD as close to the protected device as possible - 1 meter is a lot of space in an electrical enclosure and I see no trouble meeting it.

If especially exposed or at risk, you can do tiered protection cascading several SPDs all the way from possible point of fault incidence to protected device.

Overall I tell people to focus more on proper low resistance earthing and ensuring all energy generators and processors properly connected and not obsess too much over SPDs.

See below a decent SPD I use all the time - note the length of the factory supplied cable.


I bought a tomzn spd. I can see you have a type 1 spd. Most of my worries with length is for type 2 spd as yhtas the most common ones I see in most installations. As the main distribution box is already filled with circuit breakers, they have to install the type 2 spd in a remote box from the main box thereby increasing its length pass the 1 meter mark
Satellite TV Technology / Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Namzy(m): 8:07am On Aug 21, 2022
I've been reading about AC Spd installation after my inverter took a hit and have been buying the parts needed for said installation, but from what I'm seeing about the dos and donts, it's seems most spd solar installation I've seen are wrong.
This especially is with respect to total length of live and earth wire not exceeding max 1 meter . Since most installers have to install the spd in a different box than the main distribution box, that 1 meter max is usually exceeded. Maybe that's why someone earlier complained his inverter took a hit despite having spd installation and why many might be "lucky" not to have had a lightening strike with such poor installation.
