U don't use Stabilizer for fridge and freezer on Generator.....

We on our generator to freeze the items kept in the freezer, we connected stabilizer with the freezer, this was our first time of connecting stab with freezer.

So the hell mistake I made was removing my phone from the original charger and charging it with an infinix fast charger, after plugging the phone , the generator level went high and the fast charger got burnt the original charger, my sister laptop charger got burnt , bulbs got burnt.

We were lucky not to on our televisions and other valuables. We off the gen and on it again without the freezer on and the sound and motion went back to normal.

So what caused the change in level of the generator and what led to the damages of laptop charger, bulbs and chargers??
Ar you sure it happened or you want to show us your bag of rice? �

Unfortunately, from page 1 to page 2, useless theory.

OP should get a good generator. If you are using a generator other than the "I pass my neighbor", it's voltage doesn't fluctuates either on load or no load. No problem with using stab with your refrigerator
nna eh my brother, me I've been wondering where the theories came from. In pretty sure there was something wrong with either the charger or the generator and had nothing to do with the stabilizer.

Let me explain something here
We use stabilizers for Nepa because most of there lights are either below or above 220mw and most electronics we have works well when on 220mw
Our generators are set already on 220mw, so no need to stabilise the current because its already stabilized by the gen
220mw?!!!

As in mega watt?

Odiegwu!

The reason you experienced such is because of the stabilizer you plugged with it.

Here is why.

Most Stabilizers only increase current rather than stabilizing it in actual sense. Observed you wont experience that when you plug with NEPA source.

So when you used the stab with gen(assuming a 2.5kva now), the gen will try to boost the gen beyond its normal output capacity thereby overworking the gen and when the output is increased few gadget gets damaged.

In my case, no gadget got damaged but the gen itself after a long time of overworking
Stabilisers regulate voltage not current, and they can be used on generators without issue, problem should be with the governor of the generator going bad.
Look at it this way.
Compressor of fridge needs times 3 running current to pick.
While doing so , voltage drops as power is constant.
Stabilizer boosts the voltage while more current is being drawn.
Engine tries to adjust itself
Governor overviews while generator AVR fails
Excess current supplied to other appliances.
Some times this things are self repairing.

Stab not good with gen.

Check the meaning of impedance and inductance. It could not be the charger..I am sure they have been using that charger before.

What about my gen that won't charge my inverter unless I connect it through stabilizer

THIS what happened, Generators while being great but yet they produce fuel generated electricity so its not as dense as say electricity produced by magnets. and so now you are putting your freezer on stabiliser attached to gen and the stabiliser will be overtaxing the gen because gen electricity is not as potent and so now if there is some fluctuation in electricity cranked out by your gen and there will be, the stabiliser will make sure the gen is overtaxed to compensate. and so now the gen is producing more current ( speed of the voltage ) than usual and then you went and added the high speed phone charger and that just sent it over the edge and so the current produced by the gen exceeded the current required for the items that burnt, so next time do not use stabiliser with gen

Your freezer is bad or about to. Your compressor caused your problem and not your chargers. Get ready to change your compressor. A word of advice, never use your stabilisers with your gen sets
I started using my 1kva stabilizer with my 2kva Thermocool 2500 generator. After servicing it for the first time in 7 years the current indicator needle always hovered between 120 to 150 votes. My fridge when connected directly to the gen as usual would start and cool for about 5 Minutes and stops cooling, though it would be humming.
I had no option than to connect it with the small supermaster stabilizer. It's been working for me, two days now. Only piston with it's rings and alternator brush was changed. What could be wrong with the gen. Plus it's tough to pull the starter.
Re: I Started My Generator & Switched On My Freezer & Stabilizer, Then This Happened by Sammyboy09: 5:55pm On Dec 23, 2020
Two things happen
1. Stab has a coil and also gen has coil, powering on gen with stab simply mean u are using double coil which can cause short circuit by returning power on the gen which makes the charger burn.
2. Even if u don't use stab with gen and the compressor of ur freezer touches the body of the freezer it will return power on the gen which will cause short circuit as well
Re: I Started My Generator & Switched On My Freezer & Stabilizer, Then This Happened by seniorkachion(m): 5:56pm On Dec 23, 2020
ibuildstuff:
Stabilizer draws more power from the generator, so it depends on the kind of generator he's using.
I think the key is to use a stabilizer that is half the size of the generator or even less. For instance, using a 1kva stabilizer with a 2kva gen.

BlackKing555:
What's your AVR(Stab) power rating?
What's the Gen power rating (2500)?

Check and tell me
Thermocool Bobo 2500, maximum output is 2kva. Using with supermaster 1kva stabilizer without setting it to delay.

BRO, PLEASE STOP THINKING THAT WAY. IF IT WAS AS YOU JUST SAID, CONSUMERS WOULD HAVE BEEN WARNED BY MANUFACTURING COMPANIES IN THE OWNERS MANUAL! ANY GENERATOR THAT USES CAPACITOR INSTEAD OF AVR SHOULD BE CONNECTED WITH A STABILIZER, TO PROTECT APPLIANCES FOR OVER OR UNDER VOLTAGE.

Some use capacitor not all gen uses avr cheesy
The keyword in my statement is 'properly'!
U also need to find out the functions of the two components!
Avr is made of voltage regulators whose primary function is to maintain a certain amount of voltage in order to avoid a spike in voltage and also current....capacitors functions as a 'electrical charge storage' component!
Between the two,which would you likely want to use as your output to your appliance?

You are not supposed to connect your freezer to a stabilizer while your Gen is on. That was the mistake u made. Next time, plug the freezer directly and not through a stabilizer.
true gen don't go with stab but d depends on d gen, I use to plug my fridge to stab and it works fine with he gen but when I got a deep freezer I don't connect th stab when on gen due to the power like too much load on the gen.

sometimes faulty electronics can make the gen change sound and work abnormal

I'm greatfull it was only the chargers that got burnt.

Modified.
Thank you all for your contributions and ideas , I'd put the ideas into actions. I blame Nepa for the loss before I blame myself.
I'm currently finding money for new ,good & original charger. Infinix, amazon or any charger
if you stay around Ondo, I'll get you those original between 1k and 1.5k

Don’t use your stabilizer with generator, because a generator already comes with an AVR
t

what if the AVR fails, or its a gen without one?

theres nothing wrong with stabilizer on gen
