How To Choose The Right Power Generator For Your Home

Рет қаралды 245,771

Күн бұрын

It's fairly common to have blackouts/ brownouts here in the Philippines. That is why I get asked a lot about choosing the right generator for the home - the answer is not as complicated as it seems. I also talked about the generator we chose for the skypod and what we did to make it automatic! Special thanks to Kryzzzie for guesting (again!) 😂

I think this needs a part2... something to explain how to choose the power capacity requirement as imdicated on the electric bill... or explaining it as to how much a generator can power in terms of appliance use in a span of time. It might be more of a lecture side... but i'm really interested.

My father uses a truck's battery and pairs it with an inverter to produce electricity for our home during brownouts. It's cheaper, doesn't use diesel/gasoline, quiet, and we can just recharge it at home as soon as the electricity comes back. Though it is only used for very small loads it can definitely last especially during storm season in Samar.

maybe you have a small house or only use the lights during brownouts that's why a "truck battery" can handle it probably

@@seanrasos2248 my parents live in a two-story house. But my father limits the use only to an e-fan, some lights, and charging phones. They live in Samar and power outages are pretty normal. And during typhoon season, power outages last for at least 2-3 days and the battery delivers.

It depends upon the load requirements.. Obviously, Slater wants to have a back up power supply that can power all the appliances and ACUs of the entire house continuously for more than 2 weeks.. Your 2 truck batteries simply cannot do the job he is requiring..

Blackout vs Brownout A blackout is a complete interruption of power in a given service area. Rolling blackouts are controlled and usually preplanned interruptions of service. A brownout is a partial, temporary reduction in system voltage or total system capacity. But in the Philippines, everything is "brownout".

@johnmarkgonzales8791 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, having a Solar Panel set up or Generator will both save you from a power outrage. Solar Panel will save you more money but you have to invest a huge amount of money at first. Solar Panel needs a storage area or room with a proper ventilation or an ACU for a better cooling for the batteries and Solar Panel controls. This must be installed and done by a licensed electrician and not a DIY job to avoid any disaster like fire or explosion. Must have a fire alarm or smoke detector and a CO2 fire extinguisher or Powder. Maintenance, just wipe your solar panel. Solar Panel is free from any fuel, as long as there's the sunlight, you're ready to go! More batteries, more power that can be use. For the Generator, a lot of them are now cheaper as people goes for Solar Panel. You need to buy Diesel fuel to run up your generator. Maintenance, every 250 hours or depends your generator supplier or manufacturer. You just need a space in your yard, proper shade and ventilation. Extend the muffler to avoid the exhaust smoke from coming back. A full internal fuel tank or large capacity external fuel tank.. then you're ready to go, nothing to worry about your load (appliances, etc). Don't forget to put fire extinguishers too! Hope I was able to help you with my simple explanation. Cheers mate! 🍻 -John

@yunelsonsr 2 жыл бұрын

Solar Panels' lifespan will reach about 15 years. If you place the panels on your roof, consider also the maintenance of the roof which is about 5-6 years interval for repainting. Solar panel will only offset the cost of electricity via net metering. If you opt for Off-grid system you need to maintain and replace deep cycle batteries. Should you opt for Hybrid System which allows backup electricity when power grid is offline, be ready for added cost. In general, solar power is not maintenance free, and it is only suitable for heavy electricity consumption like in the case of office building, industrial/ factories, malls, etc. With inverter generators getting cheaper, if your aim is backup power go for this. If you aim electrical cost reduction, go for net metering. Just be aware that roofs needs to be maintained. Panels needs to be washed for peak efficiency.

@johnmarkgonzales8791 2 жыл бұрын

Typically, the live wires after the meter comes into a MCB then goes to your Panel Board's MCB to distribute. ATS has 3 terminals, Utility Power side (for your Meralco), Generator side and Load side. Just for a very quick and short guide: Remove that incomer live cables from your Panel Board and connect it to the ATS Utility Power side. Connect your genset power cable to the Generator side. Then the cable from the Load side of your ATS will now go to your Panel Board's MCB. You'll need to have a control cable, typically a 2.5mm2 5-core cable for your float battery charger AC supply and a Remote Start signal in your genset. Just leave an open space beside your Panel Board for the ATS installation. Try to visit Powercity Corporation and look for my mom, Aileen Gonzales, for Generator and ATS sales. Thank you very much mate!
