Luzon wide power outage!

[renzo_d10]

Was in megamall kanina. kumakain kami sa Racks, biglang nagbrown out. Nung nagkaroon na ng kuryente nagulat kami, nawala yung mga pagkain, simot pati yung kanin! lintek na shoplifters yan.

Was in Megamall earlier as well. Nagbrownout nga dun saglit.

Pero dito sa bahay according sa mga maid di naman nagbrownout. Pero sa ibang lugar tagal daw power outage. Buti nalang, sana mamaya hinde rin or else takbo sa isang bahay para masarap tulog

Parang puro south walang kuryente.

So Cavite still has no power? My goodness, paano ako matutulog nito mamaya? Ako lang mag-isa sa bahay!

Malamang sa loob ako ng kotse matutulog nito ... aircon eh.

Blackout Hits Manila as Six Power Plants Shut in Philippines - Bloomberg

Blackout Hits Manila as Six Power Plants Shut in Philippines
By Clarissa Batino & Norman P. Aquino - May 8, 2013 7:39 PM GMT+0800


Manila and almost half the largest island in the Philippines suffered a blackout after six power plants shut down.

A “tripping” of transmission lines triggered failures at plants with a combined output of 3,700 megawatts, Energy Secretary Jericho Petilla told reporters today in Manila. National Grid Corp. of the Philippines, which operates the transmission lines, said it was caused by a “generation deficiency.”

The power stations, including the Sual coal plant and Ilijan gas plant managed by San Miguel Corp., supply about 45 percent of the peak-power requirements of Luzon, home to more than 44 million people. Transmission lines and power is expected to be fully restored by midnight, National Grid spokeswoman Cynthia Alabanza said today at a briefing.

About three-quarters of Luzon already has power, and electricity in 89 percent of Manila Electric’s more than 5.1 million customers had been restored, she said.

The shutdown was caused by an “external grid event,” said Julicer Alvis, a manager for the Sta. Rita and San Lorenzo plants.

Petilla ruled out sabotage and said the power outage was likely the result of transmission failures. “The likelihood of five power plants bogging down is extremely unlikely,” Petilla said. “It’s the lines that caused the brownouts.”

The blackout started at 2 p.m. and affected about 40 percent of the franchise area of Manila Electric Co. (MER), the nation’s biggest power retailer, according to spokesman Joe Zaldarriaga.

I have a diesel Benz .... SOGO? .. hahaha, pass ako dyan! Sana may kuryente na pag uwi ko mamaya.

I am seriously considering the idea of buying a standby genset.

YEP!!! it is good to have that one, i am planning to upgrade mine i have 640Va mini genset good for 3 electric fans and 3 14watts bulb - one full tank last between 4t06 hours. planning to upgrade to a more modern (less ingay) and higher capacity portable genset with at least 2kVa rating para kaya 3/4HP na AC and Ref and 2 electric fans and 2 14w lights.

Canvassed it and i think it cost around 60k.

i did some research on this a few years back; based on what a very helpful shop owner told me, Firman and Kipor ung medyo OK na China brands. The rest are meh. No idea about Powermate but they are the most visible.

Ahh, thanks sa tip boss. sa ace hard ware, wilcon at yung isang hardware (na nakalimutan) ko pa lang pangalan eh ako nagcanvass. pero dami pa gastos kaya ipon ipon mode muna.

2kva kaya po ang 0.6hp -3/4hp na AC, 6~7.5cu.ft na ref, 2 normal electric fan (hindi yung bakal na mataas wattage) and 2 14w na CFL. 2kVa = 1,600 kw.

2kVa = ~ 1600w

AC 3/4hp = 560w
EF x2 = 60w x 2 = 120w
Ref 7cu.ft. = 165w
CFL = 14wx2 = 28w

Total Wattage: 873 watts - you still have spare for the starting current.
