Generator sets

Resistance is equal to rho x length divided by area....

Rho is the resistivity and is dependent on the material. The higher the rho, the higher the resistance (the lower the conductivity), the higher the voltage drop.

The bigger the cross section area or "size" of the wire (the lower the gauge) the lower the resistance, the lower the voltage drop....

The longer the wire, the higher the resistance, the higher the voltage drop...

Meron bang LPG run portable genset kahit mga 5Kva lang? Advantage? Disadvantage?

Nag text kasi bro in law ko bibigyan ako ng LPG fed genset, hinde ko alam brand 5kva. One time lang nila nagamit, pero na repair na daw dahil nastuck up siya. Papakuha ko na lang sa bahay nila, eh kung bulok huwag na lang dagdag basura pa sa bahay...dahil bumili na sila ng 10kva yata...kung ok LPG fed na genset papakuha ko sa weekend para 2 na genset sa bahay, pwede isa sa umaga isa pang gabi...

Nadala na ako diyan eh, binigyan din ako ng beagle pup dati, kunin ko daw sa bahay nila, ako naman pumunta nagdala pa ako ng crate, walngdyo ang pangit nun beagle, hinde ko kinuha...lagi kasi nagpapauto sa tiendesitas na mga pet shops, walang kadala-dala..lahat ng biniling aso doon kung hinde may sakit eh ang pangit naman..

Bro.,- huwag mo nang kunin ang LPG-fed na genset,- komplikasyon lang iyan...

Tsaka,- hindi ka naman siguro tatakbo ng 24 hours for x days. Mga kasama mo lang sa bahay makikinabang diyan sa umaga.

May tubig ka naman kahit walang kuryente di ba? That is already 50% of your requirements.

Sa umaga,- punta ka na lang ng mall...

Iyon namang nasa ref,- hindi basta basta mag-thaw in 12 hours or so.

Tiendesitas at aso?,- may sakit din ang aso na nabili riyan ng hipag ko,- ayun namatay lang... Hugas kamay ang nagbenta....Bad trip iyang mga tindahan diyan....

yup, hinde kami nawalan ng water last week

bakit complication ang LPG fed genset? yun LPG tank ba sa bahay ang gamit? pwede siguro for emergency dahil last week grabe pila sa mga gasoline station... actually kanina ko lang nalaman meron palang LPG na genset...

tiendesitas kasi malapit sa kanila tiga valle kasi kaya doon laging bumibili ng mga tuta, walang pang umabot ng 1 year..ganado na nga ko sa chow chow pup eh...dahil humingi na ako ng isa pag pina stud nila eh wala pang 6 months namatay na agad,..

i'd certainly appreciate the cleaner exhaust from an LPG-fed genset, but in times of really dire emergencies, you may have trouble looking for LPG, whereas gasoline and diesel should be more available...heck, push comes to shove you can make ethanol/biodiesel; methane pwedeng DIY, but LPG?

Have you guys heard anything about Promate Generators? Any feedback? I've just spoken to them and mukhang ok naman sila. Yun nga lang China yung Promate but they said, mahusay na China naman sila. Parts are readily available. Yung Honda generators yata mahirap hanapin yung parts if ever diba?

**lowslowbenz** · July 21st, 2014 01:15 PM

Our Yanmar powered 4.5 kva surplus genset proved its worth. My main concern was food spoilage (kaka-grocery lang namin). And it was able to take up the job on powering a ref, a couple of electric fans, my aquarium pump (

), indoor and perimeter lighting.

I will add another similar sized or bigger unit.

On the flip side, I had the chance to inquire at a Handyman store about their gensets, the guy told me that the day after the storm, lahat na gensets nila pinakyaw, mapa gas or diesel. Laki pa naman mark-up ng mga hardware na yan.

Kapag sinipat ko ang Honda at Promate generators,- parang magkapatid e.....

CLAVEL - what happened sa after sales service nila? Mabagal?

CVT - pre what does "sinipat" mean and what do you mean na parang magkapatid sila?

How about ELEMAX (powered by Honda), any feedback? Right now I'm looking into getting their Elemax SH7600EXS which runs around P70k (6.5kvA nominal / 7.6kvA max). This any good?
