Generator sets

[macsd]

Not to be rude, but you are asking a lot in one post. I suggest you google first, and ask here what you do not understand fro your own research.

I am willing to answer some of your questions based on my own googling but first, how much is your budget?

If I am correct, diesel gensets are more expensive than gasoline gensets. You can find diesel genset only from units with output of 3000watts up. Lower output gensets are gasoline fed.

Inverter- more expensive but also more efficient than common gensets.

6kva genset is more than enough for the specified appliances.

kw vs kva? Yan ang ndi ko alam. Hahaha

Kw = Kilo watts
KVA = Kilo Volt Amperes

W= VA (VxA) or Power = Voltage x Current

Therefore Kilowatt is the same as Kilo Volt Amprere.

Yan din ang alam ko before pero mali pala.

Parang may power factor sa equation. Pag power factor =1, KW=KVA. Pero bihira naman daw 1 ang power factor.

VA (or volt-ampere) has a reactive load - either capacitive,- but almost all of the times, inductive
W - is purely resistive load...

For house consumption (all intents and purposes), they are practically the same. They are "interchangeable"

Else,- I will have you to go through complex mathematical computations....

matutuloy ba talaga ang brownouts this summer? di pa ko nakakabili at baka kasi sayang lang.

[jick.cejoco]

With so many stores and with maids, there should be no need to stock up on fish, meat and poultry. So the power outages only inconvenience would be illumination and air conditioning.

I started this thread and bought a gen set. Up to now di ko pa nagagamit haha.

I have about 5 hours on it to warm it up at least 2-3x a month.

So is it worth it? No idea di ko pa nagagamit. But its there when i need it like a gun

I tell you dear bro.,- the first time you use it,- and your neighbors are lingering in the dark...

It is worth every penny you paid for it!...

I also started a gen set thread which I believe was merged into the current one. I am the fourth post which says says says BANNED! BANNED! BANNED! (O.T. Honestly, I do not know why my account was banned, tsk tsk tsk).

So my post was like in 2006 but I bought my gen set . . . . . . last week!!!!

So I decided to buy a small taiwan-made, copper winding (Japan technology whatever) gen set with a rated capacity of 1,000watts.

Napag-isip isip ko din na kung saglit lang naman ang brownout (mga 4 hours), hindi ko na kailangan isaksak pa ang ref at titiisin ko na lang mag-electtric fan.

Kung matagalang brownout naman tulad nung Glenda (3 weeks kami wala kuryente), mauubos naman pera ko kung mag-eercon at mag-reref pa kami.

In short, maliit ng gen set lang kailangan ko. Just enough for the basics.

BTW, I plan to enclose it in a baffle/quiet box. Can you recommend any sound deadening materials that I can easily get. Design is easy to get in the net.

My 5 yr old 1.5kva china genset is still good and kicking. Nasa 50hrs pa lang siguro ang runtime ko dito. Pero thst includes a .5hp aircon.

I store the genset fully fuelled with BLAZE, lasts up to a year in storage and just swap it out every summer.

Pero ngayon stored unfuelled na sya, naka hybrid solar na ako.

[glenn manikis]

Pre.. Balita ko tuloy na tuloy daw brownout... At nakakahiya naman daw at humihingi pa ng emergency powers, Tapos wala naman palang brownout... Kaya sa April and May nalang nila schedule ang plant maintenance shutdown... He he...

[Lew_Alcindor]

BTW, mejo nasisiyahan ako sa nabiling gen set kahit ndi ko pa siya nagagamit talaga.
Kasi naman may user manual na tama ang grammar hahahaha
May experience kasi ako na pag china made, alam mong china made pag dating pa lang sa user manual.
Ang maganda may instruction kung paano ang maintenance kung hindi gagamitin for 1 month, 6 months etc like lalagyan ng konting oil sa loob ng cylinder kung extended period ndi gagamitin.

*shibby75, can you pls share your hybrid solar setup and contact details for your supplier? Am thinking of getting one as well.

What is your experience/feedback so far in using it? Thanks.

mention ko lang, not exactly a genset, but it may be perfect for condo dwellers who don't want to DIY:

What I like about the BoSco gensets is that you can stack them up for additional power... Comes with built in synchronizers. Real cool feature.....

Tagal na akong inaawitan ni mrs kumuha nyan. Ngayon na nagbrown out sa Batangas because of the earthquakes kinukulit na naman ako. I just don't know much about the brand.

Found this seller on olx:
HONDA Elemax JAPAN Gasoline Inverter Generator Portable Generator | *******

Legit kaya? Pretty good price for a Honda.

Bro.,- mahal ang Bosco generator; mahal din ang Honda Elemax sa link mo....

My sister bought a genset a month ago,- around P38K for a 6KVA unit....

When we were scouting earlier, we found a 5.5KVA genset for P36K at Wilcon....
