I am asking cos my inverter is 1.5kva, I don't think I would be able to use more than 1000w
Most induction cookers starts at 1600w when turned on.
Your 1.5kva inverter is not upto 1.5kw considering power factor.
I think your inverter will trip off once the cooker is turned on.

Not true. If you cook at 1000w for instance, depending on what you're cooking it won't take more than 1hr. That's about 50a for a 24v system.

Most bms can safely discharge up to 100a for sustained hours and won't make much difference for overall battery life as long as components are properly sized. While it's good to recommend cooking when sunlight is at full blast, saying it affects the battery life significantly is being overly dramatic.

You no see say even me sef tire to respond. If you respond now, another person go come ask for 700w sachet inverter. probably if said induction cooker locks in previous settings, one could find a workAround by using NEPA / Gen to first set things up the very first time, then use solar later

Not really. When turned on, you can safely reduce wattage before putting your pot ontop. However, it's really not recommended to stress a 1.5kva inverter that much.

The both I use doesn't work with 'memory'
Infact the mama home's starts by default at 140C which is low, while the Maxi starts at 2100w regardless of your last cooking.

However you can turn it down before placing your pot so it won't really pick up at that high wattage. Which product do you use?

Thanks for this, hope he can be trusted, with no issues whatsoever.

The Maxi doesn't 'start' until you select a cooking programme and have a pot on top of it. If you selected Simmer, I don't see how it would start from 2100W.

Once the power button is touched, it's turned on but won't work until you select a cooking programme and add a pot. Or is your own different?

mine also doesn't retain settings. I only said "if" there's one that retains such settinsg BUT then again, your suggestion of not placing the pot immediately is good BUT still would suggest anyOne looking to use cooker to start from inverter of 3.5kva so as to stress the system less

I'm talking about the type that came with Pot. There's no 'Simmer' option.

Once you turn on, press the function button it enters the 1st mode which is 'Fry' @ 2100w, you can then adjust wattage before placing pot.

After adjustment it starts a countdown with beeps if pot isn't placed yet.

So technically it doesn't 'start' but comes on, however if you place your pot before turning on then it immediately starts at the highest wattage on first press.

But there has to be a pot on the cooker before you can adjust wattage

Atleast, that's how mine does, so I assume it's same with others

Do you use an induction cooker?

Of course I do. I own 2.

Mama home's starts at 140C, you can adjust before placing pot but it's already low enough. Although adjustment window is very low like about a second b4 it recognises there's no pot.

For Maxi, you can do all your adjustments b4.

Okay, that second model.

The answer is behind the freezer - wattage on sticker.

They said 100w but don't know of surge capacity as this is a non inverter freezer.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by eghos12(m): 5:39pm On Jun 15
Sirs what is the best settings for 12kva felicity hybrid inverter using 12panel or 24 panel in the nearest future. Is it 6s2p per string or using 9panel per string which is 9s and total will be 18 panel. Note; the spreadsheet shows max Voc to be 500v and max isc to be 27amp X2 and total wattage is 7500w per string.

We just landed in Enugu!

Let's cook..

20kva srne inverter

64kwh Deriy lithium battery'

Surge is usually between 5 to 10 max.
Try it on it. The worst that will happen is self shut down to protect itself. What is the continuous load of the inverter?

Sure but you will have to limit the charging current, don't pull more than 1kw-1.5kw from the Gen

From personal experience I wouldn't recommend. That stuff bloodied my gen so bad that it can't power my submersible anymore.

I never understood why, but the issue came from using it to charge for about a week.

If your inverter has grid peak shaving, you can limit the amount of power it draws from the gen to about 2kw or less.

You really don't get it.
The phrase "Chicken cost, na who price am" actually meant A chicken costing 500 naira could be expensive for someOne but not to the next person; hence reason I say certain things / words are relative.

Some people could easily afford a battery of 800,000 naira BUT a battery of 500,000 naira could take some other persons several weeks / months of planning + budgeting to cough up such amount.


Also this is online, and a public fora where One could always confirm certain things. If I walk into a shop and one asks me for my maxBudget, me sef no go gree talk as I go see am as setUp BUT here, it's different. You not patronizing anyOne, only looking / asking for recommendations / suggestions.

Or you expect us to recommend multiple things which would end up being useLess to you not because You don't need One BUT because they are clearly outside your budget range / financial capacity.

meanWhile, lots of people can't easily afford ordinary kpormo, while most would struggle to afford eJa panla and shaWa while to some, it's Kote or Titus or nothing. You see, EveryOne got that threshold they belong to mostly based on current phase of their life.

Have often shared how prices of some kind of USEd charge controllers can buy some BIGger Brand New Charge controllers and still mayBe have change left.
So when we ask certain questions, it's mostly to help give more helpful responses. There's been times when most people would suggest increasing your budget as the range being quoted wasn't feasible; you think they would say so if they didn't have enough data to know that.

Currently have 5kva SRNE inverter, also have SRNE 60A charge controller and they are both China based products YET expensive compared to the likes of cWorth, sMs, iTel, etc.

na from ya max budget we go know whether to suggest Victron or SRNE or MUST or feliCity, or Tecno, or inFinix, or sonyXperia, or iPhone, or motoRola, etc OR for you to go bump up ya budget.

I am rarely here to sell anything to anyOne. If you ask and I got for sale, no issue. I owe no one and no one owes me anyThing hence one of the reasons I can afford to speak without mincing words both onLine and offLine.

And no need appologizing, I no vex. I no go easily vex even if you insult me.
I really get it than you think.
But thank you very much for your explanation.
and Thank you for not vexing.

I reduced this stuff even down to about 500w. Will charge for a day max, next day can't handle it anymore. Even from the sound of the gen u can tell.
