It's been very effective when working for me too.
I was using Qasa before this, and this one is far better.

Just this weird error.
I will try another type of cookware.

In fact, I will also buy more of this cooker in case my clients need one.
Thank you.
The magnetic metal underneath the induction pot is preventing the pot’s base to heat up on time hence the error 4 showing on the cooker. But the Error will disappear as soon as you increase the heat / wattage. So, to avoid this error, just use regular pots on the infrared cooker. The error is indicating an unusual slow heating.

God bless you brotther, infact I felt the people are not aware of the fact that coil size is the most important part of the induction cooker, the limitation,

After usage for a while I think it's important to put this out there;
Induction cooker is great, but not a replacement for gas or infrared. From personal experience, the only major advantages are energy saving and almost zero heat in your kitchen.

The heat (Citing Dayo), is not evenly distributed compared to gas or infrared. It's more focused centrally which is not ideal for some cooking. I understand this is as a result of coil size.

Pot contact surface area to coil size ratio matters for heat distribution and effective cooking, which means different pot sizes will not cook the same.

Stir frying is almost impossible because a shift in contact will result in inefficient cooking.

I have a lot to say but I no get strength. Bottom line is these our portable induction stoves are not superior to the alternatives. Besides energy saving, don't expect magic.

mine is the oraimo induction cooker, the coil size is fairly large
Good evening

Pls can you give a review and user experience of this Oraimo induction cooker?

I also want to get an induction cooker but just a little confused on which product to go for.

I will appreciate your response

No sir, I am just saying you need to put into consideration the coil size, if the pot provided is larger than the size, get something close to the coil size and you should be ok, though not perfect.

YES until He finds himSelf needing to upgrade once again. Guess He followed similar recommendation earlier when He/She went for a 2.5mm cable.

Last I checked, there are Aluminium Copper alloys in market with looks similar to what comes by default on most solar panels. I rather get a 6mm or 10mm of that if looking to keep costs low.

Except of course, OP intends remaining on his current solar capacity for rest of his/her life else it pays to not just plan for today; at least the wise doesn't plan for just today BUT the future
On series connecting, he will never need to use 10mm cable.

Nor mind that guy. Firstly he failed to read that the OP connected 3 panels in parallel but still using a 2.5mm for about 30Amps current. Even if the 4mm will work, it can never give the OP the complete current due to resistance in the 4mm wire.

I’m sure it’s people like him that advised the OP to use a single 200watts panel to charge a 1.2kwh Battery, that it will be enough.
😂😂😂😂😂

One thing I love about Solar is that you’ll surely learn.

Modified: 3 panels in Parallel not Series.

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Jefferyzz(m): 10:18pm On May 03
U really don't understand what it means to put things in series in DC application. Make I leave that to u to find out. I used 4mm for 7 555w jinko in series n my voltage drop is less than 2%. Some of u sef no dey read OEM manual at all. Cause if u do, recommended cable for most high pv mppt(500v) is 14awg. Only reason why u should choose 6mm is when the cable is longer than usual n the voltage will drop above 3%.
Thick cables are meant for inverter to battery or CC to battery n 10mm is not even thick enough for this sef.

Who can help me source and put together this solar power pack for my routerhuh

Components
1) 50W Mono Panel
2) 30Ah LiFePO4 Battery
3) Waterproof Controller
4) 12V-to-24V PoE Injector
5) IP66 Enclosure

??

I am having issue with my Dayo Induction cooker, once it gets hot it starts showing Error 3 and stops working, it doesn't come on by itself again unless I press the on button again. I have tried all selection buttons it's doing the same thing. Has anyone experienced this?

have you got a current one that's bad or something like that ?

Also rather than inefficiently boosting 12v to 24v, why not use 2pcs of 12v batteries in series.

if the cost of the Lithium based batteries are expensive enough and mobility isn't a requirement, kukuma go for a used leadAcid battery that you can always sell at EndOfLife

So what is the size of cable needed for battery to inverter?
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Jefferyzz(m): 4:17am On May 04
That depends on your charge and discharge current.
U can check online to be sure B4 u pick any cable size. I use 35mm cause my charge n discharge current does not go above 100a.

So far so good, the cooker has been serving me very well. The control is analogue not digital with different energy levels. I mainly use the 1.1kw and 1.3kw option for cooking and frying which are super fast. The cooker goes off and on when you select a lower wattage than 1kw. I also use a qasa rice cooker for rice and beans

You and used used leadAcid battery na 5&6.
The second part of your advise is a no no.

Dabss:

That's weird.
I'm suspecting over temperature, but if it's that. There should be a fault code.


But if it's just going off, it might be a lose connection from battery to inverter.
From my experience, this has happened before.

Check that the cables are tightly connected.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by NoMoreTrolling: 10:49am On May 04
Used Gennex inverter for sale for N250k in Lagos if anyone is interested

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by NoMoreTrolling: 10:49am On May 04
Save more than 50% of original inverter cost.

Can’t beat that deal!

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bassdow:
adimx:

The second part of your advise is a no no.
which of them as my comment had 3 paragraphs ?

Part 01: have you got a current one that's bad or something like that ?

Part 02: Also rather than inefficiently boosting 12v to 24v, why not use 2pcs of 12v batteries in series.

Part 03: if the cost of the Lithium based batteries are expensive enough and mobility isn't a requirement, kukuma go for a used leadAcid battery that you can always sell at EndOfLife.

if what you actually meant was Part 03, then it can be quite pocket friendly especially when low on funds and mobiliity ain't a requirement. Lett's take @Valto's recent price of 26,000 naira for 3.2v 50AH Lifepo4 cells which translates to ₦104,000 for 12v 50AH, and that's excluding BMS and other accessories such as casing.
Let's assume you decides to follow my suggestion of going for 24v rather than boosting 12v to 24v, that's over ₦104,000 x 2 = ₦208,000.

Add cost of othher things such as BMS and price shoots uppwards of ₦150,000 to ₦250,000 and that's if you decides to even build the battery yourself while keeping things to bare minimum.

Are you very much aware that 100,000 naira gets you between 150AH to 200AH USEd leadAcid battery which by the time you apply 50% rule, you get 150/2= 75Ah or 200/2= 100Ah. And should you even decide to keep costs much lower, and go for 100Ah, which applying 50% rule becomes 100/2= 50Ah all of which greatly exceeds OP's rated capacity of 30AH hence with approximately 60,000 naira give or take, you get more for way less. Plus if lucky, especially going by the way a lot of people are blindly upgrading their batteries, you could end up with batteries that were rarely used.

No be everybody get millions to spend on batteries. Bought 48v Lithium battery for a client who had to upgradde due to excessive night time loads (4 standing ACs + freezers and other loads) and sold the 8pcs of Tubular batteries to anoher person who is doing cold drinks + frozen foods business at 100,000 naira per battery. yes most times, cost of such batteries are from 150,000 naira but once in a while, you get them CHEAPer.
mind you, these batteries were not really stressed. if Alaba people finds such batteries, na to clean am up sell as brand new or at premium price.

Makes little sense spending millions on batteries that would still packUp one day while you still struggling with rents whose rates ain't even stable enough.

NB: Please no one should contact me with in mind of getting dirt cheap quality batteries as such prices only occurs once in a while BUT even in general market, prices ranges from 150,000 naira and above and you could even be lucky to get much chepaer though you need be careful

Try testing it on another socket and see if the problem is still there.

someone told me they use UPS instead of inverter for their 12v system, he got the UPS at 25k for a 2.4kva UPS but similar used inverter was around 120k. Question - using UPS as inverter , any issues?
