Dishtech: The sort of paralleling you've done isn't really standard though it is yet to fail, the relays are not "sucking in" amps so paralleling them doesn't mean they'll share the load during breaking of the circuit, one could even trip before the other. It is better and safer you disconnect your load, you can still use the light load of your pwm with this contactor.

This is my inverter below. Pls I would like to know if it is pure sine wave or modified sine wave. I can't find where it is written. I heard modified sine wave is not too good for electronics in the long run. How true?

mctfopt:What r the disadvantages? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by mctfopt: 2:51pm On Aug 31, 2019 |
harizonal123: It affects the running of motors such as in fans, blenders, electric motors, etc. Some TV also behaves erratically by showing flickers. One of the main advantage of the modified system is that it is CHEAP and with the rugged economy of Nigeria, THAT is an awesome selling point. So if you ain't planning to run sensitive equipment on it, you are good to go. ![]() 1 Like |

mctfopt:I love my TV so much and I don't want any fault. Let me go to AliExpress to search for cheap pure sine wave. I nor fit shout. This solar journey has not been easy so far. Just making mistakes and buying everything twice |

harizonal123: Don't let money pursue you bros. You can get your items one at a time. Once damaged you will still buy another one. before you say jack you have spent more than you should spend if you had gotten the pure sine wave. These kind of inverters are not really strong.With 45k I can give you a solid 1kva inverter. 5 Likes |

BetaTechnicians: From submissions, I said a contactor can be used for larger load, mind that most of what I used to sorted from electronic scrap because I don't have much for what I know can give me what I want. As I said the total capacity is more than twice the total required current drowned. This gives room for support. |

Penuelseun: Yes it can be used but those relays are free. |

Ahyjo: Quanta mostly because of support. I rate a decent product with great support over a great product with so so support. Quanta has been known to always honor their warranty and have official presence in all major cities first class cities in Nigeria. This means if you have issues with them you are not at the mercy of a marketer but dealing with the real company (not someone who bought their franchise) directly. Hoppecke would come in second just because it is the greatest of them all being a grade A solar product from Germany. I can not however say about their support in Nigeria. |

pure sine way

The modified last for 2yrs. The pure last for 3 months. if you want cheap, save and durable inverter go for ups inverter. 2 Likes

harizonal123: brother, the bolded is something almost every solar enthusiast here can relate to. the reason being that solar power as an aspect of renewable energy is an ever evolving industry. there is no single template or blueprint to guide newbies as they try to grasp the different challenges thrown at them during their start up years. we all made mistakes along the way and we ended up buying most solar items we own today twice. myself started with a locally made modified sine wave inverter which nearly set fire to my house, before buying a chinese made inverter, which was also modified sine wave, and then another inverter before finally deciding to get a high end inverter. every enthusiast has their own story and we learn along the way. most importantly however, you must be ready to read extensively whatever info you can find, whether on the internet or other places. and, of course ask, ask and ask if not sure. this will will help you avoid making mistakes some of which may be both costly and life-threatening. 7 Likes |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Valto(m): 1:12pm On Sep 01, 2019 |
Malevonent:i use something very similar. it does not really work well on a 12V system.(i av tried it on 12V with 4pcs 200w mono panels, not impressive) if u can get a 24v inverter, 1 more battery and 2 more panels and reconfigure it. then u will enjoy that CC. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Valto(m): 1:13pm On Sep 01, 2019 |
harizonal123:this still look like a modified sine wave |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Valto(m): 1:22pm On Sep 01, 2019 |
Deluxe8000:yes inverter ups is good cheap and rugged.it have a very low self consumption(i still use one, even though i have a 3kva mustpower) u can get one for 3k, then buy a very good cheap battery charger for 11k, then u are good to good. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by harizonal123(m): 1:40pm On Sep 01, 2019 |
Valto:How would you classify ups inverter & how does it work? Pix of connection pls |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Ahyjo: 1:46pm On Sep 01, 2019 |
Experts please pardon my excessive questions but batteries cost a fortune and with the current economy I’m trying to make the best possible decision. Which is the best system: 1. 4 x 6V batteries of 200AH each or 1. 2 x 12V batteries of 200AH each Both in a 12V system. In short, is there an advantage of buying 6V over 12Vs? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by idsolar(m): 2:39pm On Sep 01, 2019 |
Ahyjo: from experience I advise you go for 24v system. 12v setup in anyway is cagey. restructure your cost. u can use 100/150a,12v batr (quanta o!). u can do 1.5kva wt this. see below 1 Like

Valto: But UPS is still modified sine wave especially the 12v 650va type. I have an APC 650UPS which burnt my phone charger and made energy saving led bulbs emit a humming sound. I just got a 600W pure sine wave inverter from Ali and the led bulbs don't emit that humming sound anymore. 2 Likes |

eleojo23:apc 650 ups is modified sine wave. i used 12V 1200kva bluegate and i think its okay. but currently i av been using APC 1500VA 24V ups and i can tell u that it is a PURE SINE WAVE. it works very well with all my appliances(blenders, normal ac fan and even fridge) 1 Like |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by eleojo23: 3:01pm On Sep 01, 2019 |
Valto: That's good then. But it seems the 1500va version is not as common as the 650va |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Valto(m): 3:05pm On Sep 01, 2019 |
Ahyjo:i think 2pcs of 12V 200ah is better. 4pcs of 6V in a 12V setup will be complicated. |
