Hello,
Didn't know about this thread. Was searching for some stuff and it came up. I just setup my own with a 200a battery and a 1.2k inverter. Though I am yet to get panel as I intend to be using nepa for the main time.
My load is TV, decoder, laptop and 28w for bulbs. No fan yet, hope to add DC fan and fridge soonest In Sha Allahu.
My question is that my TV does not power/boot completely with the inverter stuff but work well with NEPA. Is there any suggestion to solve it?

Earlier this year, my TV capacitor got burnt from power surge before I put stabilizer in the house. I haven't replace it as I intend to use company warranty stuff for the repair and the procedure/period of repair might be long.

1. How many panels do you have?
2. Depending on your panel position by 5pm you may not be getting much current to charge them and if pwm charge controller.
3. Charge well without using it or with NEPA to see whether they will be difference
4. Check the battery individually whether one of the two is bad. That is why you would have used a single 12v/200AH to avoid balancing or wrong connections.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

First of all,
1. I have 2 mono panels rated 180watts each I.e 360watts in total
2. I use a pen charge controller
3. 3. Even though o charge well without using it, the maximum it takes me while using a 70watts Tv, two 5watts bulbs, and one 12 watts bulb on at intervals is 6hours before the charge controller reads 11.4V from 12.9V
4. Just bought the two batteries newly, altimate AGM Battery Deep cycle Lead Acid battery
5. I haven’t used it up to 7 times. Just connected it

There is a high chance that your inverter is a modified sinewave inverter. Check whether your fans make a humming sound when in use on the inverter. Modified sinewave inverters could damage your electronics. Get a puresine wave inverter instead.

Dishtech:

Plug AC fan on the inverter without NEPA if you hear humming sound know that it square wave and your tv may be rejecting it. Someone TVs or electronic are sensitive to square wave.

smallsmall:


Could be that the Inverter is not a pure sine wave Inverter and your TV is just refusing to work with the Power coming from that Inverter.
Such non-PSW Inverters at times do burn the coil of fans and other household electronics like Phone Chargers, etc.

If you can have access to another PSW Inverter, l would have wish you can try the same TV on it and see if it works, so as to rule-in/rule-out the frequency problem

Could be, means l am not ruling out other reasons that might not be very obvious right now.

earthrealm:


I suspect your batteries may be half dead already, are the brand new?..brand new?. top tier battery?.
has the performance always been like this?

if you have a digital voltmeter....connect a 400w to 600w on the inverter for like 2mins..and quickly use the voltmeter to read the voltage of the batteries. do this after the batteries are charged full.............

1000W EASun Transformerless Inverter (no charging function). Ideal for users on a budget and for keeps as rainy-day backup. Actual/Continuous power is 500w. Peak power is 1000w. Last attachment shows a test i did with the device powering a 200w yellow bulb. It powered it without breaking a sweat. Fan just made minimal noice.

Price: 27,000


CC: Michaelondon53, the second pic is the kind of test you should run on each battery. But use just a 100w bulb since your battery is only 100ah each.

islamics:

Yeah it is a modified sinewave inverter and it make the usual humming sound when in use. Mehn. Heard that puresine wave inverter is expensive now.


Would try it and see.


Yeah inverter is not PSW. Though the TV was working initially, it just stopped recently.

Thanks once again

I use a Huastroum pure sinewave inverter. It’s a transformer based inverter. (Check picture below���) Inverter idle load is 30watts. What do you suggest I do?
One more thing, how come was the inverter dull enough to allow me use pass 50% DOD Of the batteries. I taught inverter should just cut off power or give warning when it gets to 50 %, isn’t it?

Secondly if 12.0V is the standard voltage for any battery which has gotten to 50% DOD , then the honest truth is that the two 100ah batteries connected in parallel can’t take me past 2 hours with one Tv two 5 watts bulb and one 12watts bulb then. Cos obviously I discharge them till I get 11.5v and that’s a couple of 5 hours in those loads. That’s too poor for a 200ah battery

dollarnaira:


Truth being said.
If d above yellow Alimate is your battery be rest assured it might b far less dan 100A. Lets assume it is a 100amp battery. Parallel connection give 200amp which in essence it is actually 100amp at 50% DOD. Now lets say it is not fully 100A each.Hmmmm....guess my mind bro. Lastly, b rest assure that your load is not even up to the rated Watt. Only energy meter can give ur true wattage. My tv e.g is 50w but meter reads 34w. The 50w is maximum wen all settings are at maximum e.g contrast, brightness, volume etc. Your bulbs to might be higher than that. Now , add d idle consumption of 30w to the untrue 100A ba3.

My Souer 1000w inverter (msw) takes just 1.1w while my 1600w psw uses 1w idle consumption.

Michaelondon53:


Good morning, Happy Boxing Day to our solar family!
The Souter 1000w inverter (msw) and 1600w pure sinewave are they transformer based inverter!

One more question! Can one combine both old fairly used batteries with new ones and parallel them together?

dollarnaira:

Transformerless.
No no no.
The new one will join his ancestors too as fast as possible.

Michaelondon53:

Can you share more light on why you said that?

dollarnaira:
Transformerless. No no no. The new one will join his ancestors too as fast as possible.

bbally:


please sir, can I get a picture of the psw inverter with 1w idle consumption?

dollarnaira:

What are u saying?
Which one is mislead ppu.
Can u differentiate btw idle and no load consumption? Because I no really understand u.By the way how do u test "No load consumption"?

Dam5reey:


Idle Consumption is what the inverter consume when Switched off..

No load consumption is what inverter consume when Powered on and nothing is connected..

Efficiency is how much power does the inverter need to power of 100w load..
the ratio of Load (output)power to Input power
