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.
