Pag nag-upgrade ako, I will definitely use it...

Pagdating sa circuit breaker, magkakasama din lahat ng linya. Basta naka ON lahat ng breakers, yung main lang ang naka baba.

CVT, yun 20k powermate sa Ace 3KVA lang? meron ba sila 4 KVA? I need to buy another gen set for our other house. masyado ng mahal ang Honda.

saan pa ibang distributor ng Coleman gen set? baka mas mura pag sa labas bilhin compare sa ACE.

just saw a motorstar brand gen set at home depot. P28k+ 5KVA...pwede na kaya ito kesa sa Coleman.

anyone knows about this brand? really need to buy gen set this week na.

5KVA at P28K+ should be a good price, bro... Is it diesel or gasoline-fed? Not sure about the brand, though.... Now, that could support one 1HP A/C...

Anyway, there is a store on the 3rd/4th(?) floor of Festival Mall, Alabang - near the bowling area(?) which sells generators. Forgot the name, though. Maybe someone reading this thread could help id this for us....

another option saw one this weekend, Coleman powermate, hinde promate ha.

4KVA 27k+ the problem is yun mga outlet niya puro 110V, yun main outlet lang niya ang 220V. brigs and stratton ang engine. ewan ko kung ano engine ng coleman promate. mas ok kaya ito?

At 4KVA and 220VAC out, then max current is 18.2A. For me, this is still pluggable to a regular outlet with a breaker switch of at least 20A, and with your main switch off (very important!). I'd say that this can support a 1HP A/C, plus refrigerator and various lightings.....

Coleman powermate is a good brand (with briggs and stratton engine). And, do not worry about the 100VAC outs. Most probably, the genset was intended for the US market or a country which has its power requirements at 110VAC. One 220VAC out should be good enough...

ilan kaya wattage i drive ng 3 KVA na fridge? X3 din ba ang start up ng fridge?

**CVT** · July 27th, 2010 09:14 AM

Typically X3 ang start up current/power ng compressors. Some are even recommending X5....

Ang laki naman ng fridge ninyo,- 3KVA? Whew!

VA is "also Watts",- the former has reactive(?) components- reactance (typically, inductive),- while Watts is pure resistance (ideal)....
