At least 6.25kva will do, that's 5000/5500W (run/start). With the current situation of Nigeria, expect to double your budget.

Hello guys,don' know if anyone has experienced this.
I just noticed recently my 2.5kva generator,whenever it is powered on,I noticed a very pungent smell like electrical wires are melting/burning.
I called an experienced engineer,who helped changed piston and rings(gen has been working amazing well since he did that few months ago),he traced all the possible electrical components,but could not decipher what might be the cause(thou it doesn't affect the way the generator works,carries all proper load as it should).he checked AVR and coil,he says all is good.
But I noticed this issue started when I switched fuel stations,NNPC where I normally buy have not been selling for a while,so I switched to mobil,I am suspecting it's the fuel,but I might be wrong.

Can any one help figure out?

I found the culprit guys,

Fake engine oil!!

I have never brought all this road side seller oil before

I buy sealed sea horse,I can't believe they manufacture fake now.

I hope it has not damaged my precious engine oooo

The oil came out thick,sludged,and filled with burn smells

Thanks.

You are to change your oil every 100-120hrs of usage. Clean your sparkplugs every 50hrs. I have used total sae40 All good no problems.

Happy Sunday.

Yesterday night, I noticed that when I turned my 1hp AC with my 4.15kva thermocool generator, when the compressor of the picks up to start cooling, it's like the generator looses power to carry the compressor and the AC compressor trips off, and restarts the cooling cycle again,its happened again ,i had to turn off the AC. But when like came the AC worked fine.

Prior to yesterday, there was a time I turned on the gen, it was running but not producing power, so i called a gen repairer, he checked and said the Avr was still good.

He fired the gen and it came on.

Then he said the Armature of the gen was already getting weak.

Could that be the reason why it's not carrying by AC again?

TrebleChamp:
Brand new or used?
For brand new i think you can only get any brand of "I my neighbour" for your budget, exchange rate wahala is crazy my brother.
I saw "I my neighbour" gen at Twins Faja store for #177,000 and i open mouth in amazement 😁.

That amount for used 2.6kva gen is way to expensive in my opinion, unless you are buying the inverter type gen. I think Gptech and other Gen expert here can give more insight....

with this amount you can buy a new modern gen of that same capacity or even higher instead of buying olden days Yamaha!

Hello brother,
Can you please help me ask about 7.5kva Tec Price

Sorry bro i don't live close to a their store, i only went there to buy Gen but ended up buying Maxi 4.1kva from LG store 23 road Festac for #413,000 plus 12kplus for insurance. The gen was a gift for my retiring Director. Work into any Hiar-Termocool store around you to get their current price...

Elepaq or Firman ?
I want to purchase a generator today. 2.5Kva

Hello, please what would it cost to fix the armature of a 2.5kva gen. Said they would need to rewind it. Please help.

Hello my experienced pple,

I do have this Firman 8kva generator I bought for a printing machine.

The machine uses an heating oven -(Total power of the machine is 5kw)


However when I load the machine on my 8kw firman Gen, the sounds changes continuously to the fluctuations of the heating machine.. Is this normal?

Hope I don't have to worry about the AVR or coil of the Gen getting burnt?

Thanks.

My 7.5kva Haier Thermocool generator suddenly starts going off on it's own after I caught a neighbor pumping water with it while my Air conditioning and fridge was on. Discovered he had been doing it for weeks. Now I change oil every 3-4 days. Is piston and rings or engine. I hope it's not too serious

I bought total oil 18k early last month and it's finished because I keep changing oil due to low oil alert. What's the best fix?
