Gptech:

Should be looking at at least a 4.5 kva generator, budget should be over 200k

guruvicawelt:
Does it mean that is one jumia is fake. Bcus im shocked that the price is 117k

Gptech:

Sure, it's either fake or that's not the real kva. That amount won't even get an original 2.5KVA.
If you want to buy a generator, it's not advisable to buy online.

cortix:
You people can try out this gen, I have been using it almost close to a year. No issue at.
It carries my 1.5 Horsepower hisense inverter Ac, my 168 liters Skyrun fridge, 55” inches Tv and sound bar with 2 ox fan at the same time.
And no issue with sound or external vibration.

Without the Ac powered ON it Carries my bathroom water heater.

I think it’s not a popular brand, that’s why nobody talks about it. It took a lot of preaching from the seller before I agreed to buy it and it worth the experience.

Good afternoon house
Please I need your help
I switched on my generator for close to two hours today and it tripped off on its own.
After noticing what had happened, I switched it on again and in less than 5mins it tripped off again(this happened twice). Pls what could be wrong.
Gent type: Tec junior max, 1 month and 2weeks old.
Thank you.

twoMcfemad:


Check your oil and fuel level

macromyk:


I’ve checked those and they are all sufficient. Changed oil last week Tuesday(just checked the level too) and the fuel is enough.

TPound:


I suspect the plug

twoMcfemad:


Yes boss.

You follow me waka here sir...

macromyk:
Good evening house.
Thank you all for your suggestions.
I checked the plug and I observed it was covered with thick brown dirts. I cleaned it throughly and inserted it back. I switched on my gen and it’s working now(tested it for one hour).

Also please I would like to ask What type of plug I should buy and how to know an original one , I plan on getting two tomorrow.

Lastly, I use 2 fans, 2 laptops and a tv.
Recently whenever I try to use a particular fan in the house(one with the highest speed) the gen changes sounds and a little light flickering. I don’t know if there is a way around this.

Thanks a lot guys.

Gptech:

Really early to be changing the plug, it's possible they changed the follow come before selling for you. Snap your plug and upload let's see. To get original, don't even know what to say, so many people tell lies for a living. Original is not cheap though, just try and buy from a big shop with good recommendations.
The fan you are talking about, is it standing fan? What's the power?

macromyk:

Good morning
Thank you for your reply.
I’ve been trying to upload the picture of d said plug but I don’t know why it’s not working. Let me see if this description would help. The plug has LG PLUG written on the white portion of the plug (that’s d only written on the plug)
Also since you said it’s too early to change plug is there anything I should be worried about? I had a terrible experience with a new gen that was not up to two months after purchase, I pray such don’t happen again.
The fan in question is a ceiling fan and I really cannot remember the watt. Been using it for over 5 year now
Thank you.

Gptech:

If it's LG written on it then it's the follow come. It's still possible it's bad, get a new one as advised.
Regarding the ceiling fan, does flickering happen if you turn on only the fan? What's the reading on the generator's voltmeter?

macromyk:

Okay. I would get a new plug.
Yes, only when I turn on that particular fan. Once I switch on the fan, the sound of my gen changes like it’s being forced to work, initially not so obvious but as of yesterday the sound became so obvious and the light was flickering as soon as I turned on the fan.
I believe it is 230v, same way it has been since I started using it.

Gptech:

Asides the fan turned on, what's the maximum load you have given to the generator before?

macromyk:

TV: 60w
Laptop x2: 70w each (150w)
Fans x2: 90-120each (not sure of the exact wattage)
Total estimate: 450-500
That’s it.

Gptech:

Weird that that's happening, no ceiling fan should make a generator fluctuate. Get your new plug and try again.
Is this the way the generator has been behaving with the fan since you bought it?
