u guys should stop using these setup with your fans, just get ur self a 12v DC fan and a dc adapter, thats all u need, just saw the guy selling ups at arena today , he said people are complaining to him that apc ups is always damaging their fan, and i asked him if the 1000va apc ups is pure sine wave, he said no.
he saID HE PREFERS BLUEGATE to apc,
for me ,i will prefer the bluegate 1.2kva or 1.5kva to apc 1kva

Apc may just be better in terms of self consumption. I'm not sure since iv not checked. Secondly i just found out apc ups have a software that you can use to turn off that annoying beeping sound the ups makes, see what load the ups is carrying in real time and some other power monitoring stuffs. Wether bluegate, apc, mercury or whatever modified is never too good for inductive loads. So same precaution for apc modified is still same for bluegate and other MSW power generators.

Lastly, any rechargeable already does a conversion to dc inside hence no need for a dc converter for it.

Cheers.

Valto:
i doubt if that particular APC have a modified, its an old model apc 1500va and its pure sine wave.. he is a trusted fellow.

Iv seen modified of it. I just wish it is 12v. I actually prefer a 12v one.

I think this ups and smart charger combo is a major downside of this setup.

Less than a week of using my own setup, the coil in my 2 standing fans got spoilt. The fans' indicator would come on, but the blades wont rotate.

Next, the battery stopped delivering current. I thought it was bad initially, but when i observed the charger closely, i noticed the needle that moves when you switch it on doesnt move anymore, meaning the charger was faulty and wasnt charging the battery anymore.

The charger is the blue 30amps Souer smart charger and i think it gets spoilt easily, from tje feedback here so far.

I am now scares of repairing the charger and using tje set up as it may damage the coil of the new rechargeable i just bought.

What do you guys advise i do?

Very sorry bro... Like suggested already, the burnt coils ij your fan is because the UPS is delivering a modifed sine wave which is often more common than puresinewave ups/inverters. Using a rechargeable fan may be better since it recitfies this to a dc viltage which feeds the dc motor inside. Puresine ups is still the best.

As for the charger, honestly i think when the UPS transfers load during an outage a voltage spike backfeeds into the charger and causes havoc. My next trial is to use the ups on inverter mode only and see what happens.

teamsynergy:
the battery is less than two months and its never been overcharged... the charger makes hissing sounding now and turns green really fast. I doubt if the battery is bad. no physical damage or bulge ... its doesnt even get warm during charging. I think the ups charger interfered with the souer charger feed back system and damaged the charger.


I have to get a new charger to charge first before concluding that a less than 2months old 200ah ba3 is bad. mind u, I bought up to six on d same day, only this one is misbehaving... other are still enjoying cos they ain't using dis kind of charger.

Could this be what burnt my own 30amps souer? Cos I'm using it on a battery working with an apc 650ups. Once power was interrupted and restored the mf spat out flames from inside and died again.

Pls, kindly share how you sorted out the charger problem. Thanks

Valto:
the particular one in the picture is pure sine wave.. less than 25watts

I'll call the number you put there and hope he isnt mischievious cos He may claim a modified is pure sine just to make a sale. Fingers crossed

kiekie1:
Hello, it works great ! Something must have affected yours if it's the same blue color make I use .. It's best you install with a stabilizer if unsure of your grid input "VAC"... Happy Easter Sir

Yes there is a stab in between it and grid. Is it ok to get the 50amp version then? Mine is the 30amp with an lcd screen.

Happy easter to you and yours sir

Valto:
APC ups is 100% copper and pure sine wave( the price of the brand new, can buy 3bluegate of the same spec. get it at arena, call the seller for directions 0803-462-7274

whATS THE SELF CONSUMPTION POWER PLS? also i learnt this model has modified and pure sine wave versions, how can one knw which isbeing sold?
thanks

kiekie1:
Hello, simply locate your DC multimeter be it fluke/uni T and test the charging current et volt for confirmation OK... Famicare you guys are all discussing about isn't an intelligent charger , its all in same group with einhell,absaar,Bosch etc and all grouped under transformer - rectifier based and has no sensitive PIC board to interact with 3-4 stages in charging process.. Yo Souer might be black and a lil bit inferior if u are on a 12v system , but my blue Suder has been working well in charging and intelligently floating(13.2v) batteries after bulk/boost charge(14.5v) stage .. See attached pic below;

how is dis charger operation now? is it still a good buy? i have the blue coloured 30amp suoer and iv repaired a burnt resistor thrice since buying it less than 3months back. do i go for the 50amp version? wont it be an overkill for a 180ahr battery?

zekepio:
I have a 150watts solar panel
30a Charge controller
100ah battery
650va blue gate ups

I tried using the above setup to power my 1.5hp water pump but the ups trips off when I connect the water pump.
I'm guessing the capacity of the water pump is more than the UPS can take.
Do you suggest I change the UPS or forego my desire of power the water pump with the solar setup.
I need the water pump on for 4 hours daily.

Haaaaa! �... U wan kee d ups �

Just kidding oh. Someone has answered you up there.

cute75:
Please I need advice... I have 2 quanta amaron vrla 84ah battery with a digital sinewave 3stage charging inverter. Please I want recommend charging current for them. Though it is set at 10amps on default but I want to know if it is safe to increase the charging current to 15amps.

I think you are safe

HELPFUL TIPS, BUT AS A SUFFERER OF CHRONIC KINETOSIS I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THE ONLY TIP THAT HELPS IS ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THIS IS WHAT YOU'VE GOT, AND PREPARING YOURSELF TO FACE ALL THE SYMPTOMS EVERY BLESSED MOMENT. THAT WAY YOU CAN ENJOY ALL THE TERRIBLE FEELINGS THAT COME, INSTEAD OF PANICKING.
NOTHING ELSE WORKS.

As a sufferer i can assure you that some of those tips up there works!!, as i actually unknowingly do them to ease the problem. (well now i know they are documented tips).

For instance

I dare not sit away from the window. I have had to leave an already full bus and enter the next bus just because where was available wasn't close to the window. Its that serious.

I dare not eat much, in fact i take flagil so that my bowel doesn't somersault on the way. Also as a kid i would throw up vehemently in my dad's car. Now i have some control over that by not eating before travelling and taking flagil tablets and also piriton tablets.

I usually put my nose in the wind and make sure i don't catch a whiff of any perfume, otherwise na puke straight.

Great writeup op.. �

Drgreatone:
Pls whats the name of the inverter and what's the experience bin like?

Superb... Iv burnt it once by using a faulty extension which shorted out the output,and it was repaired. I surprise say e to still work.

Recently i made another mistake of not disconnecting it before switching on phcn supply and it burnt, its still in the repairers hands.

But for operation, its smooth. Take note iv not loaded it past 150watts in use.

kingreign:
Why would anyone wanna buy such items used?

Yuck!

I cringe at what folks sells here and what folks also buy here most times.

Breast pump, used mattress. Una no dey fear to catch disease?
All the body fluids and secretions would had touched these items, for even the mattress, lice, blood, breast milk, sweat, spit, urine, seminal fluid, and vaginal discharge sef, fart and prolly fecal matter, dead skin and hair that had detached from skin.

Does anyone here have an idea of where I can get those metal wardrobes that are detachable? Has a ziplock covering and sold for around 7-10k? I no get power for wood.

Pls direct me ejoor. I will find a pic and attach soon

Mine didn't last... After a couple of months the fabric just changed texture to tissue paper. I couldn't even remove it from the metal frame in one piece.

Not worth your time, except its for a temporary use sha.

You can get them in Westminister warehouse, along Oshodi apapa expressway, opposite Trinity busstop.

IF TAXES AND SOME REALLY STRICT PROCESSES NEEDED TO OPEN AND RUN A CHURCH IS ENACTED INTO LAW, YOU WILL SEE HOW PEOPLE WHO ERSTWHILE CLAIMED GOD CALLED THEM WILL START MISSING HIS CALL ANYHOW...

we just enjoy abusing things, hence the proliferation of denominations, doctrines etc

Sabi bird.... If e fly over Nigeria, phcn fit take light for im wings. The bird wise fire!

Or e fit go land for transformer, naim be "gone too soon"

Deluxe8000:
what could be wrong with my solar system? In less than 10mins it moves from 11.9v to 13.8v. This means that it has cut off solar energy for the day.

Do a load test of it... It may be failing. I mean The battery

Also hope your pv modules are adequately sized for your battery bank?

bizzibodi:
I bought d suoer battery charger it did not last up to 2mnths,I bought d suoer inverter it packed up b/c I erroneously reverse d wire polarity I think such device shld have reversed polarity protection,fuse & transformer.

My suoer charer got not up to two months just got burnt too... Opened it up and saw a burnt resistor.

My research online makes me think souer company just aggregates diff electronics and doesn't specialize in one.... Their quality checks is questionable.

Braaad:
Hello good people of this forum, please, I urgently need a link to buy Tesla power wall here in Nigeria.

I've tried some companies including PSC solar, they don't have in stock.

I would really appreciate a link to buy it here or to get it directly from the company abroad.

Any help is highly appreciated.

PS: if there is any other alternative of comparable quality to the power wall, I'd like to know.

Thanks in advance

There are people on nairaland who build similar packs of any capacity you want....the bells and whistles absent of course
