n3xt:Iron and hot plate kills Inverter. When you buy inverter there ware energy consumption specifications of all equipments in the house. Nigerians we don't read. So anyhow is a way. 4 Likes 1 Share |

So I went to fight my welder this afternoon for keeping mum when I asked him why he’d sell a door of 18k for 45k when the most expensive component is just N4500. He said “I didn’t respond because I wanted you to go and see for yourself.” He asked me to take pen and do the calculations. 1. 1 1/2 x 3 pipe (frame for the door) 2. Designed Plate 3. 9in External Frame 4. Hinges 5. 1 inch pipe for braces 6. Electrode 7. Lock (He said I shouldn’t bother about this) 8. Painter 9. Transport 10. He said “Go and arrange all the items listed above (whatever quality you want) and pay me any amount you like for the job. Remember, I will cut, weld, grind and use diesel//electricity.” I just had to apologize to him and move on. Please, do not quote this message. Now I know better. 2 Likes |

@n3xt. I will not quote you ![]() These doors in the picture attached cost me 17,500 each material plus labor. Transportation was not included in the calculations. I picked up some other things together with the materials for the doors, railings, etc. So the Transportation cost, I don't know how to separate it. But just calculating the materials and labor thats what each door cost. The materials were purchased at bridge head Onitsha and the site is at Asaba. Distance between the two is within 30 - 45 minutes. Should be 20 minutes or less without traffic and police wahala. I purchased the materials and hired the welder separately. Please no one should quote me, I am not feeling fine ![]() 2 Likes

Drama ![]() Badgers14 I won’t quote you o. I’m made to understand that painter take 500 per door and labourers charge 1,000 per door. That’s good to know that there’s a region in Nigeria where people are making it work. I doubt it if you’ll ever find any painter here do that job if you offer them 500 to paint that type of door.

One can never try this figures in Lagos where some welders pay more than 300k per month for ground rent. Not even anywhere in the Southwest where welders are automatically billed hire than anyone else by PHCN or where skilled labourers are few. I love the great people making it work in your region.

n3xt: This was done on site though. I purchased the materials, brought them on site and the welder came over to put them together.. it is possible they used my electricity too, not sure but could be.

michlins: What I didn’t show was that they applied body filler like they wanted to paint a car on the gate before painting. This wasn’t the 1 colour in 1 hour type. That gate has been painted over 8 years ago and it never fade nor rust. |

n3xt:buy one tin of sharon paint and the color will never fade. If you want to do big man, add a small tin of vanish and it will be sparkling. Make I hear Dem no finish the painting in one hour. Apply first coat and wait for it to dry and then the final coating. 2 Likes |

These type of color combination no dey pass two hours e come be black. Each of these gates cost at least 3k each. Then you will start buying other stuff for finishing. Tell your local welder the color combination that happened here. Over here, we innovate and it has crashed the cost of production. Another thing I learnt tonight is that labor is paid by day and not by productivity. Imagine paying person 3k per day and he will do ordinary two doors a day. .. ![]() ![]() ![]() 1 Like

LITHIUM ION BATTERY AND CAN BUS COMMUNICATION (CAN) REVIEW CAN stands for Controller Area Network, meaning a computer network formulated by the inverter's electronic control units (ECU), known as Micro-controllers, for an effective and efficient communication capabilities between the inverter and Lithium ion batteries only. However, without this in place the Lithium ion battery will probably explode over time and may result into fire. That is why we often say it's not all inverters that are compatible with lithium ion battery because of charging and discharging monitoring. However if you connect any 48V inverter to any 48V lithium ion battery bank, it will power ON but the discharging and recharging algorithm will be the great deal of issue, which may lead to lithium ion battery bank explosion due to overcharging as the case may be. These Micro-controllers chips, which serves as the main brain of all super intelligent inverters like Steca Solarix PLI, lmeon, Growatt, Victron Energy, Sunwoda inverters etc, are mostly surface mount devices (SMD) called Quad Flat package (QFP) Micro-controllers, however, the victron inverter uses the through hole type of dual inline package (DIP) Micro-controllers. This then implies that the days of looking for external battery equalizers (to manage the performance of VRLA batteries) like we often do for the conventional Lead Acid batteries are over. CAN was primarily developed for automotive applications but later - due to its simplicity, reliability and electromagnetic immunity. it appeared also in industrial (CANopen), military (MilCAN), aerospace (CANaerospace) and nautical (SeaCAN) applications. However, advanced solar technology has tapped into this concept for seamless communication capabilities between the super intelligent inverters and Lithium iron phosphate batteries. This fundamental feature makes German Steca Solarix PLI inverters and other selected list of inverters like solarX, Phocos, solis, Good we, lmeon, Schneider, growatt, solarmax, studer, redback, sofar etc, to be compatible with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries just like the sturdy Victron blue energy inverters. Based on the installation arrangement, although all the lithium ion battery will have its individual CAN port. However, it is only the CAN port of the master lithium ion battery of the battery bank that will be terminated to the inverter to enhance the system communication protocol. As all the slave lithium ion batteries report to the master lithium ion battery. Each of the Lithium ion batteries in the bank must be connected via RS485 or RJ45 link ports depending on the brand of lithium ion battery though, else no communication and no master lithium ion battery to be connected to the inverter in question. Also the lithium ion battery bank installation often require a good understanding of battery address binary number switches too aside the inbuilt Battery Management System (BMS) of these batteries. Even Some LFP battery uses BMU (Battery Management Unit). Kindly be informed that currently we can only parallel Lithium ion batteries as we can't series them like we series conventional Lead Acid Batteries. Thank you.

desiji: Thank you very much. I know you have done this successfully. Of course sir, I will surely get the high end Chinese equipments. Forget about the Hybrids then, that is for here, but Naija use is what I need. I will contact you later, so I can get some recommended equipment list from you. I hope I can do at least 5kva supported with NEPA and Generators (both small and big Sound proof). Thank you very much sir. BTW... Anywhere I can get more info on the DEYE inverters mentioned above.
