I don't know the surge. Moreover, what are you doing with surge for a resistive load?

The question sef dey embarrassing to begin with. Let's presume say na mistake. Me no wan talk say person use grammar wey e no understand.

Peterlove11:
I think newer inverters have better idle consumption.....but am more interested in the efficiency(DC to AC conversion) which is more important as most times our inverters ain't ever idle. Efficiency of inverting determine runtime most times.
My SMS 10.2kva has similar or if not better runtime than my previous 5kva felicity inverter.

Better talk

Please I need mini iron with low watt.
Any recommendation?

Most brand new electric Pressing Irons are low watts. No try buy London Used, or Tokunbo because those ones are old model, super quality, and high wattage.

Also please ignore Pressing irons marketed as Solar. I never use dem before BUT my instincts tells me they wouldn't operate well due to too low wattage. if e no gree HOT quick, how e wan take press cloth

Good morning good people, I had this 6.2kva hybrid inverter set up with 4 turbular batteries, and my 9kva elepaq generator wouldn't charge it for whatever reasons, it does charge for a few minute and it stops at some point, what could be the cause?

A lot of those Generators are over-Rated. That your so called 9KVA could be less than 6KVA

I'm having the same thought 😐

I go kuku ma enter market be that. I dey find 400w type.

Forgot to add that a lot of those shiny New electric pressing irons are not durable. they are quick to spoil (as in the body go dislocate if e hot enough).
Why not use the regular old model and ensure you always use on low control. Except of course your house hold no go adhere to instruction.

You can start with this: https://www./portable-handheld-palm-size-travel-steam-iron-generic-mpg3166812.html

Mine is a travel iron that I bought many years back. Still working. It is 800 watts. You can search for Portable travel iron.

Euronet hybrid inverter

This type of inverter usually have maximum of 30A AC charging current. I think the 80A is combined charged current from PV and AC .

Does it have any issue charging on mains(NEPA)?

I have 2400w steam iron.
I dey off grid for now. I need low watt efficient iron.

Which Kva will you suggest for someone with these needs:


Two Fans: 80W + 35W = 115W
Freezer: 110W
Laptop: 45W
Router: 37W
TV: 50W
Decoder: 30W
Phone Charging: Approximately 5W each (around 10W for both)

Total for Regular Use: 397W

Occasional Use Appliances:

Blender: 350W
Iron: 800W (??)

Thanks

I use same consumption as you, yet I use 14kwh lithium battery and 4400w solar panels, and 5kva inverter.
Na your money go determine wetin you go use

bassdow:
My own setUp no dey get opportunity dey idle at all except I OFF am which is almost impossible.

If connected appliances ain't mission critical, why leave idle when you could switch off.

Aside idle power draw, how much do the inverter it's self consume ?

We put the inverter on idle just to test idle consumption. Not because there are moments we leave the inverter idle. No one does that.

I have a question to ask, still a newbie

I have installed 1.5kva 12V Inverter (Transformer based) with 1pc of 240v GSR battery at my wife's shop

She has an electric sewing machine, weaving machine, buttonhole machine and button tacking machine

None of the machine are above 300W

Though the inverter carries all the stated machines but not at the same time.... Each is used one at a time... And some are not used everyday...

Now I've decided to install a solar panel to enable charge the battery, So I bought Jinko 580W X 3, I have already installed 40A Felicity CC (It was just the panel that was remaining)

I would like to know if the Panels and the CC will serve the purpose of charging the battery full on time before going on float charge so that the sun can be maximised during the day time for energy consumption in her shop

Note: She closes around 6pm, so the battery won't be put to use.....

Inefficient decision..
580 X 3 = 1740W.. 40A controller will limit your output to only 580W cause max charging voltage is 14.6..

You need 120A controller, With that amount Just go an buy 12V 2kva Hybrid inverter that has 2000w PV capacity.. that can utilize your 1740w PV for Load and up to 80A charging

This is the efficiency i was referring to in Stand alone.

WAWU...isn't that an overkill? Especially the 4400w solar panels...

Anyway, how much did you buy the 14kwh lithium battery, and which brand?

I need guidance on how to go about it...and if 1 million can get me a good setup for that.

How much is this setup?

Please get at least 200AH battery. Because small time, you go add DVD player, sound system, etc; and the poor thing go continue dey adjust like Nigerians.

Also ensure you go for average to quality brands else you would be changing batteries almost yearly

Thank you for your reply! It's mainly cost constraints that made me unable to go for a higher capacity. I'm looking at Sunfit battery. Is it a good brand?

Choose from luminous , Felicity , Quanta , eastMan , Genus or you end up spending the money you trying to save. trust me, when you buy battery almost every 8-months, you would understand.
You're better off BUYing used still in good condition, than buying one of the numerous funny noneSense in the market.

Yes, it's an overkill. Don't want to worry about expansion in next 10yrs.

Setup, I spent around 6m. The battery alone was near 3m.
So 1m can't my setup. I'll think 2m can you a decent setup if you are doing from scratch
