Most inverters in of size are not complete. Buy any oil of say 5L, measure it and u wud discovered that it will not be exactly 5L. Same goes to most things with "sizes" e.g a 1kva(1000w) inverter may probably be 700w while a 2kva(2000w) may likely be 1700w(i.e 1.7kva).

Pls Note kva( killo volt ampere) is different from watts.
Watts is real power

Kva is apparent power or so ( there are 3 if them)

There is a factor depending on the design which is used to multiply the kva(apparent power) to get the real power(Watt).

It may range from 0.5 to 0.9

But I want to believe that factor is the efficiency.

If you load a 1kva inverter with 1000watt load, it's an overload already.

for me I am not a guru just a seller and I believe in solar rating kva is more Dan watt because if u ask a China man to build a 1000w inverter for u he gives u small inverter and tells u what d max can go but u ask for 1kva he gives u a big inverter and d capacity and max is more so in d market u can't compare 1kva femicare to 2000w suoer

In fact what is good for one person is bad for another based on usage and results. I use suoer with all gladness bc it is drains little power. Fine ,both famicare and suoer are both modified sine wave but in reality suoer works for my tv, lightings, woofer ( without humming sound). Humming sound even reduced drastically (with coloured bulbs) when someone here said souer inverters hate loose connection which was right afterwards bc I tested and confirmed it. I used famicare 1kva for few weeks and I see no difference in both.

In of size

Back to the burnt part

Probably you overloaded your inverter thinking it was a true 1kva or 2kva. I v a permanent saying that, "never load ur inverter above half its capacity".


Note dat modified sine wave is not good for coil based appliances e.g fans, blenders, microwave,oven etc


Lastly
•Tell us what u were using before your inverter got burnt.

•Does ur burnt inverter charges?

• Do u at times use ur inverter while charging it?

Whether psw or msw it is not a full alternative to phcn so we all should pamper our inverters like egg dont plug everything with plug in dem

Many thanks sir. The inverter I believe got burnt from the generator. The generator had a faulty Avr and the current was too high. It was put on and it blew everything in the house including WiFi charger and phone chargers. It was later in discovered the souer inverter wasn't charging again.
The electrician said it couldn't be fixed so I got a famicare. My smart TV used to hum very badly with the souer that watching TV was a chore. With the famicare the humming sound is less although present. I used blender of 230 Watts occasionally with the inverter but used only TV, energy bulbs and a battery free rechargeable fan.

Are you saying it is not advisable to use ceiling fan on the inverter? My electrician said I can use ceiling fan as I have two 200amps battery.
I have spent too much on this set up, let me be petting it like egg as advised. Thank you.

Lolz, e be like say ur inverter guy name na Kazeem grin
Well back to business, the capacity of ur souer is bigger than the famicare, but famicare is a better inverter than souer; they may both be modified sine wave but famicare is cleaner than souer, infact famicare is almost on the same league with mercury.

So if I were to advise you, I'll tell u that famicare is a better devil than souer, souer is a no no for me.

My 2 kobo, let others make their input...

Thanks sir. My electrician na one kain guy. At the end of the day he still took away the souer that is faulty which he earlier said cannot be fixed. I truly wanted a pure sine wave inverter. I guess I didn't do my due diligence enough.

I will just hold on and save up to buy a bigger set up when the time comes. For now, let me manage this hehe and count my loss. It is just to stand in the gap for when PHCN fails.

Such is life.

Like i said it depends on our appliances but sincerely, y not go for 900va pure sine wave of luminous inverter.It cost about 50k or less for u to v rest of mind. I installed it few days ago for my client.You can get a stand alone aka off grid to save cost while d suoer or famicare do d Charging.

Your smart tv is too precious to run on msw inverter. My tv is a regular led tv. You will damage dat tv soonest. Stand fans of about 50w saves alot of energy. As for me i dont like running ceiling fans on inverters.

you're my partner in usage � I've been using that suoer for close to three years now without issues and I was the one that told you to make sure all plugin are firm and you won't have any issues, you've really done some research and you've said it all, I might even add that these latest souer MSW are a bit refined than mercury because they might for PSW and doesn't hum unless in cases where the connection is loose, I've used my own for almost all my gadgets including my led TV, thou my fan is not coil, I've even thrown my bedside fridge ounce in a while, initially when I bought the inverter I intended using it as an intermediary, to stand in while I see money to buy PSW, like play like play I found out it wasn't that bad and like play like three years don waka and I'm still using it

Some of us are not just fortune o bros. But as for me o for now o na suoer bc it works for me. Unfortunately it is a bad bad experience for some.

Thanks bro

D average of d above range gives 0.7

Real power of 1kva is roughly 0.7kva while a 1.5kva is roughly 1.05kva.Based on estimate.
Once again thanks

But do you know the total load you run on your inverter?

See eh! This lack of full information is what these marketers exploit on this thread. The famicare was presented as a psw inverter, even though I went to Jumia to read the description and I noted to the seller that it says transformerless. Like I said I highly blame myself for not doing due diligence enough and for being so trusting. As it is now, in just a few hours of use I am already having issues. Pls I will reach out to you. Thank you

I really must commend Dollarnaira for his selfless service and . You are such an excellent person.

Reached out to him and he called and interceded on my behalf. Gave me guidelines and put me through the ropes. Thank you so very much.

To Willmaria14, sorry for the stress and thank you too.

This might be a faceless forum but it has a lot of excellent resources and wonderful people.
