olaolu11: I think you should take the pictures of the name plate (appliances have it slapped on their back) instead of the products name and model. It will have all the information you need, or at least most of it. 1 Like |

ojeysky:Kk I see now no it doesn't have a fan. My other thermocool is a double door refrigerator and it consumes 150w |

ceaser: No it wasn't changed it was a panel that went bad in it and we could not get a replacement so he just connected wires together to get it working (my guess is that what he did made the compressor to be working on high operation mode), and while he was connecting wires he blew my interior fan, light and buzzer, by then I wished I could just turn around the clock. Unfortunately I still had to pay him ![]() |

lexi28: Thanks baba. See ehn, that thing, I was literarily struggling with it for the better part of yesterday. I guess being pressed for time also contributed to the problem. I have only yesterday and today to get things right before I'm off again. Yesterday I burnt off another 12 volt digital temperature controller that I intended to hook up for intelligent control to a cooling 12volt fan for the stuff; connecting it into the light control port of the PWM SCC with the deliberate assumption that it will be 12v output irrespective of it being on a 24v set-up. After the loss, I was forced to do what I should have done earlier by measuring the output at that point on the SCC and alas, it was 29.4volts. Hating the fact that I'm seriously running out of options, I went back and for like 30 minutes ransacked my storage box and made sure I found those damned buck converters (something I should have done 4 weeks ago that would have probably saved me the loss of the first inverter, two cooling fans and a digital temp controller. I plan to get an extra conduit box this morning, fix it atop the one embedded in the fence and move the inverter there while leaving the SCC and batteries in their former position embedded in the fence. Then hopefully that new conduit box should provide ample space for even a 14cm by 14cm fan (found one in the storage box). I noticed that thing about blower vs evacuator fan too and except you mentioned it now, I had thought little about the significance of the positioning. Only problem with this inverter is that the fan's btu is just too small to handle the quick built up of ambient temperature in the hot sun. Some other fans of similar sizes (40mm by 40mm) that I blew up earlier had better performance (those ones that you will hear their decibels at almost a meter away) I will give your GoTV adapter serious consideration but only on the condition that I can achieve daytime-nightime control of output to the adapter or else I risk adding to the 10w overnight draw (2w gate opener+8w no load inverter draw) and that may deplete the 7ah 24v battery before dawn. I only hope those local computer accessories shops stock PC fans that I can work with cos I only have one left now, in case it also gets blown ![]() |

ceaser: This is actually my main concern as well. When my thermocool was in top shape it could hold stuff for 3 days off power
Not so fast, while the power factor may be an advantage we are not so sure yet of how well it retains temperature level but I may eventually go for it just for a change; My fridge, air-conditioning system and freezer have all been thermocool |

ceaser: Hmnn. If i get your point correctly, as one battery is charging via solar, i will switch on the inverter and use it to charge the other battery using ac charger. Is that what you imply? If yes, where and what charger do i get? |

This battery level signal at back of my inverter, how is it used? Do i have a meter connected to it or what? And the fan is no longer working. Can i diy replace it?

ceaser: hi, best of luck tinkering with the set up. kindly post the eventual solution you used. can you also post a pix of how your digital temperature controller looks like and where you purchased it? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by harizonal123(m): 8:36am On Aug 13, 2019 |
ceaser:Did you consider the life circle of the battery that will be constantly recharged from. I don't think it is a good idea as it will reduce the life span of the battery you are tapping from |

Good evening bosses.. Please who can educate us on the types of batteries.. I have been seeing mercury, deep cell, lithium and lots more what are the difference of each of them.. And which is good. |

olaolu11: what I posted was a chinese made 3000w inverter on jumia website. dishtech See the attached pix the first is the printer port of 30V middle cable is the distributor laptop port 10-15V, third cable is my Laptop DC plug which is bigger than the distributor laptop connection port. seller even gave the charger and distributor manuals. The used used battery voltage is 13V when i checked, I will charge all when there is grid power and check after 24hours as you advised. I plan to use the used one for rechargeable fan if it fails the test. However it will affect my plan because my original intention was to use a 24V configuration (24V inverter) Is it safe to parallel the three on a 12v configuration? Secondly I heard some people are using old UPS and there are two UPS lying around 2KV and 650Va. Also read online that UPS draws more from the batteries than inverter. Gurus kindly advice
