hi to all hindi ako napapasyal dito madalas ...

do you know any 12v christmas lights? yung kumukutikutitap?

Hi! Welcome back Wala dito... I was looking also for these long led strips or ropes in 12 volts but cannot find any here... just in 220 volts!

wala din akong makita na DC 12V twinkling christmas lights...
eto lang nakita ko, "kumukutikutitap" : http://videokeman.com/joey_albert/kumukutikutitap-pasko-joey-albert/

advance merry christmas to all!!!

meron na GASOLINE GENERATOR si da king! price 3,580.00... pang-charge ng battery kung nagta-tampo ang araw.

@xyberxyus,

Sa Toyani Farmers Cubao may nakita ako but di ko pinansin.
Next time mag visit ako tignan ko ulit.

@juncap

kay brightpower ako nakabili ng 1000w pure sine wave inverter. May 300w at 600w din siyang stock dati.

I plan to buy again the 300w.

Hanap mo "pure sine wave inverter" sa olx. Tapos select mo yung Muntinglupa City area.

ouch !!! np mpmahal p sir instead n mka tipid,sir would you mind if meron k po mbibigay n brand?
s olx kasi sir TBE & UNIV brand lang ata ang nk post. planning to buy n po kasi b4 xmas sana,tnx...

Ang ayaw ko sa mga murang generator ay MAINGAY.
Nakabili kami dati for my Brother in-law but ibang brand....time after Yolanda.....ship namin Manila to Leyte......
Ilang beses lang nagamit nila.....maingay....kayo pati neighbors affected.....at bibili ka pa ng fuel to run it.....
Sabi ko kabitan din na extended muffler....but di yata ginawa.

Personal observation lang........yours may be different.

[Ehdzell12345]

sir tanong lang po.. kung pwde iconnect to sa arduino .. para po sa thesis namin salamat

 

[ericus03]

@glennjv

sir thanks sa info. We never tried pagsabayin itaas both breakers. Pero pwede pala na parehas na naka on. Usually ibaba muna ung isa bago itaas ang kabilang breaker kahit may "safety feature" sya. Mas ok pala talaga ang may sliding bolt na MTS. If that is the case, we have to change this MTS kc sa GenSet pa nakakabit. ROBYN gasoline type pa naman. Thanks uli.

@bongbenitez,

sir anong gauge ng wire nyo sa 12v lines sa ilaw? May voltage drop kc linya ko. 10 Meters haba, G16. Ang reading sa DMM 12.2V pero pag direct sa baterry 12.5V. Loss ng .3V Nag aagawan pa sa kuryente pag nagsabay sa charging ng gadget at 12V fan. Should I oversize wire gauge?

Why not?...This is not my field... but maybe someone in this thread can help you
Try to ask Mr Google... and you will find many answers like here:

ang isyu naman sa double throw knife switch ay medyo nakakagulat talaga yung spark... maski may cover na ay nakikita pa rin.

I got a pm, this morning from someone who bought a 80 watt panel sa cdr king showing parang burn spots... Does anyone already faced this problem? It's the first time I heard someone having a problem with cdr king panels... hope it's just an exception and will not become a rule!!
As he still had a warranty, I advised him to have it replaced...

i have read in a foreign forum that the panel should be returned if still under warranty... however some users of multiple solar array reported that if the power output is not significantly affected then it is OK.

I don't know if the "snail trails" are what he was talking about as he precisely said "my sunog spots"... As I did not see it I assumed that maybe it was due to the soldering between the cells which can be ok or can mean also that the soldering was not properly done... in any case, better to return it for sure! The problem is that even if it works properly we don't know if it will last... it's a little bit like playing poker!

 

[TristanWS]

ma'am TS... this picture said that a lightning strike might have cause the "sunog spots" but could still be functional... i believe the panel shown here was properly grounded.

[dmb101]

sir dmb101... yung sa akin ay DMD 350W pure sine wave inverter... pag switch on ko ay umaandar na agad ang fan at humihinto lang pag switch off... dapat ay hindi i-init ang casing nya... "lower inverter heat means higher inverter efficiency."

kanino mo nabili ang UNiV 300P? mura na yan sa P3.1k... pa-feed back naman pag ok... ilan percent efficient nakasulat sa manual?... gusto ko kasi bumili ng isa pa.

so far ok naman yung Univ 300w, 90% efficiency nakasulat sa manual, kay GX tech ko nabili sa may jp rizal corner bustos st. napansin ko lang pag 7w to 10w ang load hindi agad nag ON ang fan, mag ON ang fan ng medyo mahina ikot pag medyo mainit ng konti, pero pag ang load mo agad ay 30w to 50w naka ON agad ang fan at hindi namamatay, pero one time kahit 35w yung load ko pag ON sa inverter,hindi nag ON ang fan tapos ng medyo uminit ng konti nag ON sya tapos after few minute ay off ulit then ON and OFF, pero isang beses lang nangyari ito, so far ngayon pag load ko agad ay 30w automatic ON agad ang fan

 

[ericus03]

Bakit kaya mataas ang output ng Da king inverter ko? 257-271V
230v sa mains e. is this normal for MSW?

Where did you get these figures? Normally it's 220-240 volts output... Is it with a voltmeter?

 

[TristanWS]

sir ericus03

yung sa akin ay da king's transformer type ups/inverter 1000VA (H-1000)... meron na syang digital display... 220V naman ang output... yung input voltage ang hindi steady... ano ba yung sa iyo?

 

[ericus03]

E2 sya...

http://www.cdrking.com/index.php?mod=products&type=view&sid=8199&main=144

Ngayon ko lng na check actual output nya. The built-in fan did break after running a whole night, even without load. After taking out hte internal fan, replaced it with a cpu fan and i had it run for 8 hrs nonstop powering 2x 5watt led bulb + 2x 10watt led bulb for 5hrs. Oks lang naman. Inverter felt warm only. DMM gamit ko pansukat sa voltage. Over voltage nga ba si inverter? 260v ang pinaka steady output nya.

 

[TristanWS]

sir ericus03... actually hindi ko rin tini-tingnan ang output na inverter ko... yung sinasabi mo ba na 260V AC ay with loads already connected?... kasi syempre gagamit ka pa ng extension cord or long wires... di ba dapat ay may voltage drop yun?... i wonder kung kaya yan ibaba ng nabibili na AVR (automatic voltage regulator).

I just checked my small cdr king 300 watt inverter (I never did it before ) the output voltage is 220-222, which is normal...
Yours is too high, It might be ok for your lights (although don't be surprised if they are fast busted!) but it's really too high for more delicate appliance, like a led tv... you might damage it!... If it's still under warranty, bring it back!

na-install na rin namin ng barkada ko yung rails and 8 panels sa house. (tagal naka tengga yung panel sa baba. lagpas 1 month)

next Conduits at Panel Board

Ganda ... when are you going to open your own solar intallation shop?
