Often, minimum ought to be 0.75HP. Wonder why people still have less than that installed

Min 0.75hp ? grin

.
So u go install 0.75hp for a depth of 90m, chai.

depend on the pump, some 1hp they get depth as high as 150metre the only thing is that e fit they take ages for the tank to full

90m or 9m? That's approximately 300ft, shey na well be that one or borehole?

You need understand there never should be a hard RULE but outside exceptions, minimum ought be 0.75HP

At end of the day, it's dept that mostly suggests pumping machine specs.

There really is nothing to defend here BUT have seen people using 0.5HP when 0.75 would work better. na person wey get strength + time go begin defend + argue. Except I'm looking to relieve stress, I gat no such time

My 0.75HP submersible is faster and has more force + flow than some neigbours 0.75HP submersible.

At end of the day, there never is a hard rule as even in places where hard rules exists, you still could find your self in situations where you need go lower or higher than that rule. BUT having such rule prevents certain surprises especially since level of professionals vary

dollarnaira:

sometimes eh, dept ain't only thing to be considered. What about time it would take to pump water per litre. Imagine running Fuel + Generator and you got 3,000 litres or 5,000 litres ? Now imagine if you now have more than 1 such tank.

Don't forget, the shorter the time, the Less the fuel or stress on solar system AND the longer the time, the more Fuel you consume or stress on your solar setUp.

At end of the day, 1-Litre of Fuel could pump more or Less depending on the below:

Further more, 0.5HP is basically approximately half of 1HP and gap between 0.5HP and 0.75Hp ain't even that much YET makes a lot of difference.

Once again, having a minimum doesn't mean it must be followed BUT at least would guide those not so technical to reduce mistakes. Mind you, every situation is unique. Someone digging boreHole had to abandone the next compound neigbour to run water hose 12-plots to ours just to get water and the owner guessed if our pumping machine is 2HP, the person handling the project said it should be 1.5HP or 1HP . They both were surprised when I said 0.75HP. They said but how come the neigbour next tto them couldn't work well as the pressure was so low it kept cutting.
Now me sef wasn't happy when that pump was installed brand new because I wanted to buy a particular Tokunbo .

Either way, I got 3pcs 3,000 Litres tank, 2pcs 5,000 litres tank and 2pcs 2,500 Litres tank and I can fill the whole of them from empty to Full in less than 7-hours. That duration would decrease if it's 1.5HP and would increase if it's 0.5HP, and would drastically reduce if it's 2.5HP or 3HP; and the fuel requirement for the generator would be almost same when the pumping machine is Bigger but would be a lot more when it's 0.5HP.

Now that's what I was refering to when I said 0.75HP ought to be the minimum. Mind you, from experience, some 0.75HP has the pressure of 0.5Hp sef.

Even if you not using Fuel + Gen and running it on solar, the fact it would take longer on 0.5HP means the stress on your soar system would last longer.

Reason I didn't switch to 2HP is due to availablility of generator since I rent. Planning on going back to using my solar system BUT wanna get a separate setUp from it as the 48v system is dedicated to sensitive and much more important things.

At end of the day, everyOne's requirements is unique hence what worked for Me might not work for you. Mind you, in all I said above, never considered dept. That it's pumping out wattter, doesn't mean it's fast enough or got the pressure necessary to fufil the needed requirements.

To cap it all, price difference between 0.5HP and 0.75Hp ain't even that much enough to think about it.

You don make me type long

Fremlin:
90v?

And I'm limiting mine to 180v..wow

Anyways that's not really the problem, the issue is that, the voltage been bypassed is unstable and sometimes less than 220v, my freezer works within 220v to 240v, so, once the voltage drops below the 22v, it trips the freezer.

So was wondering if it's possible for the AC input to just charge the battery, while I draw from the battery, with a more stable voltage

Buy a servo stabilizer. My old school 15kva servo stabilizer is capable of boosting 90V to 198V. Anything above 120V is straight 220V. An MVP for mad public supply of Nigeria!

If a load of 1000w can work daily on 2000w satchet inverter, what is 1500w iron on a 6000w inverter? You don't pamper these things use them very well. It is like your wrist watch na work e come this world come do.

the sky is bright and clear but it's still not charging, or showing signs of charging but supplying power. I used "tester" screwdriver with led to check the two wires coming directly from the roof into the breaker, no sign of current and I am electrophobic I'd have touched the wire. I went outside and saw some of the wire that was used in the connection exposed, I mean on the roof.

The thunder were very very significant that I have a 5w bulb to know if there's grid, thunder kee am.

And the house is earthed and the thunder arrestor is standing like a Vatican church, so na waste of money

if you got multi-meter (or get from someOne), test to be sure the Solar panels are supplying. if there's breaker in place, also check it's working well, or temporarily byPass the breaker to see if it's working.

No matter the weather, so long Time is less than 6pm, the hybrid inverter / charge controller must still acknowledge presence of Solar even if output is very low.

if at end of the day our FEARs is actually what occured, hopefully it is rePairAble.

Like I often tell people, when using (hybrid) inverters, especially when you give it VERY high voltage, put security in place even if it ain't 100% proof.

we checked the panel to the breaker, there's "spark" we even had to buy a new SPD breaker still the same issue, the system wasn't charging. He had to bypass the breaker by 5:40 issshh and connect it directly, its still not charging.

From that 5w bulb that died, it is obvious the thunder passed through the grid line into your house. I always say that grid is always d weak link of solar systems. I advice you put AC spd on both your input and output of your systems. And when it rains with thunders, REMOVE YOUR CUT OUT FUSE if you are connected to grid. I never fail to do such, cause thunder always passes through our grid lines when it thunders over here.

e tire me, if I don't replace the inverter, is there a possible way to use external charge controller to substitute for the mppt if that's the casualty?

it turns out that what he bought was for AC

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by SourYoghurt: 7:19pm On May 24

the DC breaker that he removed is making noise like there's a 'nut' inside of it, from your experience, could the mismatch be another reason for it not to charge - he bought AC breaker and we tested it with it.

Does it now work ?

Also another reason a breaker could fail to protect your appliance is if it's not properly sized.

Also using AC breaker, in place of DC breaker and vice-versa wouldn't work properly.

Before even attempting to change breaker, the person ought to have first byPassed the breaker to be sure issue is the breaker else it's just a waste of time + money

it's not working, we bought it by 5pm issh and with the AC, it didn't work when we replaced, when he bypass by that 5pm issh no indicator of panel connection it just look like I put off the charging switch. The sad thing about it is that I have the AC breaker and protector but didn't install it since I wasn't using Grid to charge the system. Now I have 2 at home.

Is there a way to charge using external charger and bypass the in-built charging in the inverter?
