ringi82:Bro a 1.5hp ac will damage that 3.5kva gen in no time, buy a 1hp instead. I would strongly advice against buying that brand of gen, get an original Sumec Fireman or Thermocool and have peace of mind. 4 Likes |

Yes o. Naso I shout. Original o. Fake inferior ones na 120,100k. At all bros no talk wetinbu no sabi. Whr dem dey sell sumec for 140k. Dont be a fool by following online prices. Go to see it in reality. Naso i dey shout till I see am 2ith my eyes. Forget with that 135k dem go bring the fake for u wwy resemble the original.. suco01: |

TrebleChamp:Wow. If u check the comments section of people who bought this brand of gen on jumia, most of them have been using it on acs. Most especially the 1.5hp split variant. I don't get it really. If the tec Bobo max 2.2kva gen can run an ac as stated in its manuals, a 3.5kva should also.

Good morning great Engineers in the house. I would like to buy a brand new Honda EZ3000 (GP200engine) - 2.5kva generator from a Honda distributor. How fuel efficient and durable is this brand and model please?

ringi82:The TEC bobo can only run a 1hp ac, even that will stress the Gen. You can give it a shot, a 1.5hp (non inverter) AC consumes a lot of power. Good luck chief |

ringi82: Good day house. I’m looking to buy a generator but not sure on the best brand and voltage to buy. What I’ll be using on the generator is a fridge, mini washing machine, 4 energy saving bulbs, fan, tv. Engineers in the house, kindly advise. Thanks in anticipation � |
Re: Professor On Any Type Of Generator. by heldworld: 9:37am On May 21, 2021 |
suco01:Thanks, right now that I can't find thermocool 3.5kva I decided to go for firman ECO4990es. Heard from a friend it's also a very strong gen. I would like to know if anyone has an experience with the gen here before I go ahead and buy it? |
Re: Professor On Any Type Of Generator. by suco01(m): 10:07am On May 21, 2021 |
Oluatimilehin: Brand: Tec, Sumec firman, Lutian in that order Voltage? Maybe u mean kva With those load 2.5kva to 3kva you're good |
Re: Professor On Any Type Of Generator. by suco01(m): 10:19am On May 21, 2021 |
The way some engr dey give advise here sef how can't a 3.5kva generator not power 1.5hp AC be it conventional AC or Inverter AC. We need to be guided using btu convertion to hp and ignoring wattage power to power the AC is misleading. |
Re: Professor On Any Type Of Generator. by tobintin(m): 12:06pm On May 21, 2021 |
Try this calculation. - First convert 3.5Kva to Watts (3500*0.8 ) = 2800watts (Ideal 100% running power). - Factor in quality aberration and non conformance to standards within Nigeria space (20% off): 2800w - 20% = 2240watts - Factor in the fact that you must not load your generator pass 50 - 70% capacity for lifetime sake: 2240w - 30% = 1568watts So, for a 3.5Kva (2800watts) generator, ideal usable capacity is 1568watts (I intentionally left our surge capacity). Now remember for conventional ac's LRA (start-up) can be up to 2 to 3 times running rating) The above is the reason. suco01: 2 Likes |
Re: Professor On Any Type Of Generator. by suco01(m): 12:49pm On May 21, 2021 |
tobintin: That your reason have cut down figures without fact. 20% on quality aberration and non conformance to standard. Are you saying a generator that should be 2.8kw won't be 2.8kw the reason you decide to off the 20% from nowhere. Standard product already pass through laboratory testing for that. If a generator has is 3.5kva which 2.8kw how and why can't it power 1.5hp AC when 1.5 hp = 1.12kw Considering taking 30% off load is 1.96kw are you still saying it can't power it. |
Re: Professor On Any Type Of Generator. by suco01(m): 12:56pm On May 21, 2021 |
ringi82: Thanks for this chat. Maybe they can come and say tec are wrong with their chat or not following quality aberration and non conformance to standard. 1 Like |
Re: Professor On Any Type Of Generator. by Gptech(m): 1:27pm On May 21, 2021 |
suco01:He may not be correct about his claims on standards but motors and compressors depending on type use up more power during startup, sometimes its even up to 3 times their running power. |
Re: Professor On Any Type Of Generator. by Gptech(m): 1:37pm On May 21, 2021 |
suco01:But there's no 3.5kva in the chart, it's 2.5kva for 1hp and 3.75kva for 1.5hp, I see no discrepancy here. |
Re: Professor On Any Type Of Generator. by suco01(m): 1:38pm On May 21, 2021 |
Gptech: I know of starting power and running power but my take on 3 5kva and 1.5hp AC is it will power it. |
Re: Professor On Any Type Of Generator. by Gptech(m): 1:46pm On May 21, 2021 |
suco01:Didn't see where any one refutes if it will power it or not, sure it will, not advisable is 'what has been preached'. My neighbour here is a living witness, the gen don don wear like dis, Firman Rugged 3100 starting and 2700w running. Generator begin get issues when he started using it on his 1.5hp non inverter AC. Gen has never been the same till date, it's a long epistle. 1 Like |
Re: Professor On Any Type Of Generator. by suco01(m): 1:46pm On May 21, 2021 |
Gptech: With other load. That justify 3.5kva to power 1.5hp AC. When you say it can't power is wrong. I still stand to be corrected |
Re: Professor On Any Type Of Generator. by suco01(m): 1:53pm On May 21, 2021 |
Gptech: A living testimony of spg3000es 2.5kw rated output and 2.8kw max output running hisense 1.5Hp AC without other load and it's doing fine. |
Re: Professor On Any Type Of Generator. by Gptech(m): 2:01pm On May 21, 2021 |
suco01:I hope you know the issue with ACs is with the starting power and not the running? If your generator for instance has say 3000/2700 starting/running watt and you want to use it with an AC with 2900/1500 starting /running watts together with other appliances with a combined power of 1000w, you can achieve this by turning on the AC first before turning on the other appliances. The implication is by doing this, the AC power is now 1500W+1000W from the other appliances =2500W. Since 2500 is less that 2700, there's no issue. If you turn on the other appliances first before turning on the generator, it means total load for the generator to power=1000+2900=3900W. This is way above the generator's capacity. This is the reason it's advised to to load the most powerful appliances before the less powerful ones. This long epistle explains why Thermocool is correct with their chart of 3.75kva generator for instance powering a 1.5hp AC with other loads. 2 Likes |
Re: Professor On Any Type Of Generator. by suco01(m): 2:04pm On May 21, 2021 |
Gptech: You're right. The reason I said if they didn't overload it. Some people ON their generator and ON all the electronic appliances at a go which is not advisable, this will cause a serious wear and tear |
