FEGEITOK:
Additional notes on the issue:

Since turning off the distribution board (DB) didn't work, I'm trying a new approach to figure out this constant power draw.

When my inverter is running the house, I'm seeing a continuous load of about 2kW. This happens even when the AC input is plugged in but there's no grid power.

The same issue occurs when there is mains power, and it's simultaneously charging the inverter and the inverter is powering the house.

However, the load drops dramatically—from 1.6-2.0kW down to around 0.20kW—if the mains power is charging the inverter but the inverter isn't supplying power to the house.

My next step is to disconnect everything at the source, not just at the DB. I'll then connect each device or circuit back one by one while monitoring the inverter's power draw until I identify the source of the problem.

I'm pretty sure this is a wiring, circuit, or device issue, and I'll report back once I've isolated it.

One more thing:

Breaking the AC IN connection to the inverter allows it to successfully run overnight, indicating that the issue isn't with the inverter's ability to operate on battery power. Instead, the problem likely stems from the AC IN circuit itself, or the inverter's interaction with the AC grid.

This suggests a potential issue with one of the following:

AC IN power source

AC IN wiring or breaker

Inverter's AC transfer switch
The issue is already narrowed, as I told you Bro. You are tapping the AC in from the wrong point.

Good evening everyone.
Please where can I get the Deriy 12v 315Ah Lifepo4 battery.
we have 12v 4.2kwh for 550k
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by favouredbymercy: 9:07am On Sep 13, 2025
Good morning

Please I want to ask, can the Powmr 4.2KW hybrid inverter paired with the Haisic 25.6v Battery carry a 1.5HP Submersible pump.

Can it work? What are the conditions for it to work if it will?

Thanks for the contribution.

Please I need input on this matter. Thanks

Adding price will make post disappear? Please stop lying! People have been putting prices and nothing has disappeared. Just say you don't want to put prices for obvious reasons. That's the reason I'll never patronize you.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by chadbasin: 3:27pm On Sep 13, 2025
Meanwhile, thanks to Mrreed for this, bought the battery from him and he facilitated purchase of the inverter. Please unlike others here, keep on doing what you do with your affordable and quality batteries as well as making your prices available for all to see.

Mrreed:
A rabbit hole it is and I am sure he has learnt a few things from it.
Sellers with no reputation can do this if they sense naivety.
There is also possibility of honest mistake too. Most of those sellers with Shenzhen addresses share warehouse with other sellers in Dongguan.
Many of them will probably forward your shipping Mark to actual stock owners to ship on their behalf .

If after random test, the cells manage to pull full capacity, alhamdulillah.

guess u are a novice in this forum/thread. u know how many of my posts that has been hidden in the last 24hrs huh. as for your bolded. many people DM daily me for inquiries and purchases. that u choose not to buy from me, doesn't mean that thousands of people on nairaland that have bought and still buying from me made a mistake or will stop buying. Hype your preferred seller in peace and leave my post alone.

ur statements are uncalled for.. every man with his own policy. if he doesnt state his prices and u are interested in his products, simply slide into his dm.. it wont hurt ur flesh..... saying u will never patronize him is laughable. plus u minus u, bizness go still go de go on...

I'm not a novice, I'm been here for a while. And the thing is that I honestly don't care if the whole world buys from you, I personally won't. Make whatever it is you are making but you won't get from me. FYI, I'm not hyping anyone, I just happened to come across someone that's open and straightforward. Happy sales.

Maybe you think they are uncalled for, I don't. I don't like people that aren't straightforward. If he had said it's his policy, I honestly wouldn't have made that post. But to hide under the guise of "posting prices causes the post to be deleted" was what triggered me. Yeah, plus me, minus me, biznez will still go. But I prefer it minus me. Let's just be straight and open. I come in peace

Your 4.2KW inverter can handle a surge of 2x or around 8400W. You should check the starting current of the 1.5hp pump from its spec sheet to see if it is under this. Then also check whether that kind of surge can be handled by your battery. A 4x starting current means that your 25.6V Haisic battery must be able to discharge anywhere up to 200A. The Haisic 8KWh battery for example can discharge only up to 150A.

I personally won't. Make whatever it is you are making but you won't get from me.
if u don't patronise me, doesn't mean others wouldn't, its your money,your choice cheesy this world is big for everybody.
in conclusion.years and months back i used to include prices which everyone in this thread can attest to,until seun introduced a hyperactive anti-spam bot here.

I believe the bot can't read images, so you could circumvent it by adding the prices to the images using your photo editor. A lot of potential buyers like to see prices displayed with advertised products instead of having to make an extra effort to contact the advertiser for prices. Not saying you're doing anything wrong, but the absence of prices could be costing you sales.

I feel your pain but I have some ideas you can try but I may want to see how the image with pricing was done to know if my Idea will work or not.

Will have to tear apart the board housing the fuses/breakers and changeover since those wires are all 1 color which makes it difficult to who what wire is which from just looking.

I will also need to be this because of a less than intuitive arrangement of wires, in my former residence, from just looking one would know these are the incoming wires and these are the outgoing wires.

It doesn't help that we also have 2 meters which sort of complicates the wiring setup.

Will report back when I do

My neighbor is asking that |I supply them power from my alternative to AEDC.

Please recommend a cheap but functional meter that I can use to ensure that I can monitor their consumption if anyone has been through this situation before.

Do we have it in the country or will I have to import?

You can simply check Temu. There are alot of meter types ranging from Unit, to amperage or kwh meters...

Make your choice but do not forget to get a meter that can also track and trip over usage before they will plug in bread baking oven and destroy your gadgets

12v 4kwh - 400 k
12v 2kwh - 350 k
24v 8kwh - 800 k
24v 7kwh - 700 k
48v 14kwh - 1.9 m
48v 16kwh - 2.1 m

These are not real prices. But if you can see this without me getting banned, it means you can post prices but put the k a space after the numbers.
Bots obey commands and if you use what isn't included in their command they can't see you.

True fact is that you are losing customers by making them make extra efforts to get prices.

Except there's a nairaland admin among us here.
