The haisic's 8kwh wasn't complete. We don't know if this will be complete or not too until tested

RickyM:
Although itel not tested yet but…You don’t want to trust a company who put a tag of 314Ah on a 280Ah battery pack.
They do not give a damn about their reputation IMO.
It’s the same reason why someone (DIY) sold me a pack of 50Ah cells when in fact we agreed on 200Ah cells and even when I gave him the chance to redeem himself, he still went ahead to replace it with 80Ah cells instead of the 100Ah he promised as replacement!

Well, thanks to testers we know for a fact that Haisic uses 280AH cells, so it's a 7.2KWH battery and a 4.2KW inverter. That's still a better deal than itel.

Let's hope those TESTers remain honest enough.

Mind you, the outreach wouldn't do much to their market because, how many customers got visibility of such reviews whether Honest or NOT

AnaCheks:
It's kind of more expensive, I thought of it

of course it is; that's one of the DisAdvantage BUT the Advantage is what I mentioned.

Good luck either way

Make una Dey put names so new comers can avoid abeg.

dfkm, the tests are on YouTube to watch FOR FREE .... you can go there and check yourself.

nawa for you oo

not really about NAMEs but more about being inFORMed and Vigilant

Good day everyone

Please I need suggestions on 24v TRANSFORMER based non hybrid inverters i can get. The minimum rated option that can power a 1hp sumo pump. Even if it cannot work with lifepo4 battery charging profile, that wont be a problem as i have an external charger. Please thanks for helping me with this matter. Thanks.

Impressive setup. The growth is massive. Few years ago, I guess you didn't believe you did generate and consume this much.

Is the automation still necessary with this much power?

Yes o... automation is always necessary to make things more optimized/

Good morning Solar power enthusiasts, pls is it recommended to use a 5000va stabilizer to power a non-inverter Air conditioner on a High Frequency Inverter to handle the startup power surge. The HF hybrid inverter has been handling other heavy appliances like electric kettle, pumping machine and inverter AC connected directly without voltage stabilizer.

I don't think there's any point using a stabilizer on an inverter since energy is stable. You need to know the rate of your inverter and the AC. Of course when running the AC, you shouldn't run other heavy appliances to avoid overloading.

We now run our Testing Live

I actually followed this live along with others like Mrreed, and it was an intense and interactive session. However, i did advise that next time, you edit your final clip of the test result separately from the rowdy atmosphere of the live test.

Kudos, Dammie... More of this...

AnaCheks:
Where can I get a 100kVa inverter?

100kva felicity inverter is available

10.2kva 48v Vitto hybrid inverter available.

NO
you need a stabilizer only for power sources that's not STABLE e.g from NEPA.

in your situation, if after ensuring the safeTY of your AirConditioner, you could use a voltage protector as that's even unlikely to stress your inverter

Please how much is this?

happy new month peeps .

We are Testing Live 7pm Tiktok.

Possibly the most interesting and impressive setup I've ever seen.

Ok Boss

I finally fixed the inverter issue I complained about bitterly recently!

Pls i am interested on how it was finally fixed.

Troubleshooting the Shocking Truth

In the course of troubleshooting this issue, I ended up installing a brand new earth rod and earthing connections. I had wrongly assumed that there was something wrong with the earthing of the house (yes, something was wrong, but not necessarily what I thought was wrong).

However, I noticed that the fridge, the freezer, the microwave, and the cooker still shocked to the touch.

But I discovered that there was zero shock if the power came from the inverter and not from the mains.

When I shared this with my very able electrician, he said, "Let me come and confirm." Once he confirmed this issue by testing the Live, the Neutral, and the Earth at the outlet that powers the fridge, the freezer, the microwave, and the cooker, the remediation process started.

Identifying the Culprit

We then went to the distribution board (DB) and tested the common earth, the common neutral, and the common live, and each of these would light up.

So the next thing he suggested was to go to each outlet in the house and check the connection, which would have been very tedious. I said, "OK."

Next, he said, "There is a better way."

He said he would try to sort it out at the DB level.

So we started separating each of the earth connections at the DB and tested. The earth would light up until the problem circuit was identified: the earth wiring to an AC switch and a looped wall socket in the guest room.

He then went into the ceiling and asked me to confirm from the ground which room he was in (the problem room). I told him it was the guest room. After he traced the wires to the part of the wall where the wires were, he came down and went straight to that socket, and when he tore it apart, we confirmed our suspicions.

The problem was that in that one circuit due to the use of a single color of wire, whoever wired the house did not know when they bridged the live with the earth. So one had the same result testing live and neutral and earth with a tester.


Once this was fixed, I went back and turned on the circuit breaker that I installed between the AC input and the inverter, and voilà, no inexplicable ramp-up in consumption occurred. I did not bother to switch off the breaker embedded in the meter, and everything is as good as it was.

The Cost of Cutting Corners

This is a practical example of how much cost one ends up incurring in time, material, labor, and worry just because standards (like a different color of wire for each type of connection) are ignored and sidestepped for expediency.

He told me he did this because of me, and that many electricians will often ask you, "Are you wiring a new house, socket, or light?" If you say yes, they will come. But if you tell them you have this kind of issue that I have—a maintenance issue—they will give any and every excuse in the book not to be involved in this sort of troubleshooting.

All in all, I am glad. I can finally trust that the house will not make me guilty of involuntary manslaughter.

The Office Debacle

This leads to the story of what happened in my office and how I ended up spending a lot of time to untangle the mess/hack job that was done when my electrical assistant got frustrated. (He wanted to run new wires; I said, "But I already bought wires before, even made sure it was up to code. Why should I abandon the wires in the ceiling and redo the wiring? It would be such a defeat!"

I ended up going into the ceiling of the office myself to sort out the mess of a connection that was done there by a new set of inverter people who do not understand why standards are made and why they need to be followed. I will address this story in another post.
