since this directive came out...PHCN kuku came remove their phcn poles and left my zone because only few homes here have prepaid meters

TalkElectricNG:
Recently Nigerian Electricity regulatory Commission mandated customers who have not been given prepaid meter to stop paying for electricity bill and gave conditions before you can pay. They also directed you on what to do if you are disconnected for refusing to pay.

Do you think this new order will fly? Will the Discos comply? What will you do if you refuse to pay and they disconnect you?

TalkElectricNG:
Has Nepa ever brought light and some appliances in your house got damaged? Has it happened to some one you know. This pieace explains in details what power surges which causes it are and how you can prevent them

What are power surges?

Power surges are very brief, usually lasting millionths of a second. They can vary in duration and magnitude, varying from a few hundred volts to several thousand volts.

Power surges damage appliances installed in home hence they can be very harmful. They can result from thunderstorms, intense heat, irregular or erratic power supply and also more importantly unstable distribution. Unstable distribution will increase the chances for surges to occur and the sad part of it is distribution companies can find it difficult to regulate distribution.

No matter where you live, your home experiences power surges. Electrical devices handle specific voltage level for which they are designed. Unfortunately, in cases where these devices are subject to higher voltages than they are designed for, damage will occur. Generally speaking the greater the voltages, and the longer the period over which they occur, the greater the chances damage will most likely occur.

To prevent these surges from occurring and possibly damage things at home, it is up to the ;you the consumer to to this.

Solution

Unplug devices not in use

The simplest and easiest way to deal with power surge problems is to unplug appliances not being used at any particular point in time. Usually in our homes we have the bad habit of leaving plugged in so many devices even though not being used.

There is absolutely no need leaving in power tools, washing machines or microwaves plugged in when we don’t need them. Since the refrigerators are required to always be on, we can do ourselves a lot good by reducing chances of surge occurring through the habit of switching off.

UPGRADE INADEQUATE WIRING

If you have an older home, inadequate wiring could be the cause. Some very old Electrical systems in homes will not handle large-capacity refrigerators, entertainment systems and computer equipment.

Some visible signs of inadequate wiring are frequent blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers, or lights that flicker or dim when the refrigerator or another large appliance kicks on.

Don’t ignore these symptoms – they’re a signal that something is wrong, and the problem may become a fire hazard.

FIX OVER LOADED CIRCUIT

If your home is modern , be careful the electrician you use for your house wiring ,you may have a problem with an overloaded circuit. Look out for two (or more) large appliances drawing power from the same circuit, especially in the kitchen. The easier way is to have a single circuit for each appliance if possible.

Another trouble spot might be a circuit with many smaller devices, such as a family room filled with computer and entertainment equipment.

Tell your electrician to establish dedicated circuits for each large appliance, and to divide rooms with multiple devices into separate circuits.

To prevent these surges from occurring and possibly damage things at home, it is up to the ;you the consumer to to this.

Solution

Unplug devices not in use

The simplest and easiest way to deal with power surge problems is to unplug appliances not being used at any particular point in time. Usually in our homes we have the bad habit of leaving plugged in so many devices even though not being used.

There is absolutely no need leaving in power tools, washing machines or microwaves plugged in when we don’t need them. Since the refrigerators are required to always be on, we can do ourselves a lot good by reducing chances of surge occurring through the habit of switching off.

UPGRADE INADEQUATE WIRING

If you have an older home, inadequate wiring could be the cause. Some very old Electrical systems in homes will not handle large-capacity refrigerators, entertainment systems and computer equipment.

Some visible signs of inadequate wiring are frequent blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers, or lights that flicker or dim when the refrigerator or another large appliance kicks on.

Don’t ignore these symptoms – they’re a signal that something is wrong, and the problem may become a fire hazard.

FIX OVER LOADED CIRCUIT

If your home is modern , be careful the electrician you use for your house wiring ,you may have a problem with an overloaded circuit. Look out for two (or more) large appliances drawing power from the same circuit, especially in the kitchen. The easier way is to have a single circuit for each appliance if possible.

Another trouble spot might be a circuit with many smaller devices, such as a family room filled with computer and entertainment equipment.

Tell your electrician to establish dedicated circuits for each large appliance, and to divide rooms with multiple devices into separate circuits.

TalkElectricNG:
Do you use prepaid meter at home? Does your prepaid meter run out fast? Do you wish to increase the length of time it takes before you go to refill your prepaid meter card? Then this piece is ideally for you.



BE CONSERVATIVE

Turn off appliances not needed at any particular point in time. Sometimes we tend to leave our Tvs and other appliances on standby mode. While this may be a trendy thing to do, it is not a good energy conservation principle.In some homes the accumulation of appliances on standby mode could be enough to power a small fridge. By turning appliances not needed on at a particular point in time you simply save electricity by doing so.



WATCH OUT FOR EFFICIENCY

Buy only energy efficient appliances. Appliance A and Appliance B could be the same thing but their energy consumption may not be the same. This is usually reflected in their prices. Conventionally the more the energy efficiency of an appliance, the more expensive it is. However, the money pays back itself from the energy consumption. Always look at the wattage or power of the gadget and see if it is worth buying.



GO FOR DIGITAL INVERTER TECHNOLOGY

For appliances with compressors, look out to see if it is inverter compliant. It is usually written on the surface of some products like washing machine and refrigerators. For ACs, LG has led the way in this technology with their innovative LG Inverter V Gen Cool cooling unit. Inverter compliant compressors save more energy.



INSTALL A SOLAR WATER HEATER

If you use hot water regularly. It will save you more energy and hence less energy bill if you install a solar water heater once and for all and not heat your water using electricity. Solar water heaters are very efficient as they turn 80% radiation into heat. Once installed you will be using free energy to heat water. The cost of heating water from public utility daily in 5-12 months is enough to install a solar water heater. This simply implies that they are very cheap to install.



LED TVs ARE LIT

Replace the LCD tvs at home with LED tvs. LCDs consume as much as 3 times the energy an equivalent LED tv will consume. The beauty of LED is that you can even control and set the power consumption to lower levels yourself using the ecological friendly mode. They save a lot of energy.



Increase thermostat of the fridges.

Just like a house, a refrigerator will use less electricity if its thermostat is re-set to a higher (warmer) temperature. Owing to the singgle-evaporator design of most refrigerators, a change of temperature in the

freezer compartment generally results in a temperature change in fresh-food compartment Grimes et al.
Grimes examined the impact of compartment temperature on energy use on 1977-vintage automatic defrost refrigerator. Energy consumption rose 26% from the warmest acceptable to the coldest possible settings. A
more recent study of nine large, 1993-vintage US refrigerators found 6.5%increase energy consumption for 1
degree centigrade reduction in freezer


Switch to LED bulbs.


LEDs save more energy than the ring like white energy saving bulb. By now we no longer talk about the incandescent bulbs but for the sake people who do not know. Incandescent yellow bulbs consume a lot of energy. Two 60w bulb is equivalent or even more than an efficient 6 feet standing fridge. We place emphasis on LED bulbs because they are the most energy saving bulb in the market. This piece is a detailed explanation of how LEDs save energy more than the other types of bulbs available in the market.



EXPLORE FREE ENERGY IF YOU ARE GREEN

Use appliances in the middle of the day when you’re generating more solar energy. For example use appliances such as your dishwasher and washing machine during the middle of the day rather than in the evening. The reasons are obvious. You can turn of the input into your inverter to have the inverter supply power to these loads using your sun energy. By doing so, power consumed by such appliances will not read on your pre-paid meter. You would have saved yourself a lot of money by doing so.



CONTROL THE THERMOSTAT OF WATER HEATER MANUALLY

Another good money saving tip that you can do is to turn down the thermostat of your water heater. The truth is you are not always washing your hands and taking a bath all the time. You can reduce the thermostat to 120 degrees lower. You can do this after everybody in the house has taken their bath or when going to bed. This is a huge money saving technique.



PROVIDE GOOD INSULATION AT HOME

One of the most beneficial saving energy techniques you could use is to reduce the power consumption of your home or building. How can this possibly be done? By the use of ceiling insulation that is installed by experts in the field of insulation, you will reduce the energy needed to keep your home or building at a comfortable temperature which in turn leads to less strain on the heating and cooling systems which saves you money and increases your chance of saving energy and the environment. Using this saving energy technique will eradicate the single largest contributor to global warming while putting money back in your pocket! It’s a win win situation.



CLEAN THE AIR CONDITIONER FILTERS REGULARLY

Air conditioners consume a lot of energy if the air filters are dirty. They tend to work more when these air vents are dirty. It is a good practice to clean these air filters at least once in every month. In climes or periods when the environment is really dusty, it is advisable to do so twice a month. A lot of energy will be saved by doing so.



In conclusion, as energy prices continue to escalate, it is best to control the amount you pay on energy bills by investing in energy efficient appliances.

Has Nepa ever brought light and some appliances in your house got damaged? Has it happened to some one you know. This piece explains in details what power surges which causes it are and how you can prevent them

What are power surges?

Power surges are very brief, usually lasting millionths of a second. They can vary in duration and magnitude, varying from a few hundred volts to several thousand volts.

Power surges damage appliances installed in home hence they can be very harmful. They can result from thunderstorms, intense heat, irregular or erratic power supply and also more importantly unstable distribution. Unstable distribution will increase the chances for surges to occur and the sad part of it is distribution companies can find it difficult to regulate distribution.

No matter where you live, your home experiences power surges. Electrical devices handle specific voltage level for which they are designed. Unfortunately, in cases where these devices are subject to higher voltages than they are designed for, damage will occur. Generally speaking the greater the voltages, and the longer the period over which they occur, the greater the chances damage will most likely occur.
