A 5kVA generator will be marginal, these things are always over-specced, reckon on it being nearer 3.5-4 kVA in the real world.

 

Is the aircon an "inverter" type? Conventional units have a very large start-up surge (>4 times normal run current) which can cause problems for our low-end gensets, inverter units have a much "softer" start.

 

Our Kwai Thong 6kVA generator will start and run the 22,000 BTU inverter in the lounge but will only intermittently start the conventional 12,000 BTU unit in the bedroom (Madam is using this fact to pressure me into getting a new bedroom inverter A/C).

 

EDIT To clarify, it's the A/C that objects, the genset would likely be happy. I suspect it's the voltage dip when the compressor is started that causes the issue.

 

Fridge and PC no issue whatever (do use a UPS with the PC). Obviously it's not going to run your water heater so you'll need to sort some form of load-shedding for when you're on generator.

 

Which generator unit are you thinking of?

 

Hey. It's an inverter Mitsubishi GR24FV 22000 BTU What's a UPS? I was thinking of buying a Welpro SC 6000 5.5 KW, can meet my need? Thanks

Thanks for the answer. I am thinking of buying a generator of 5 KW or 5000W is it sufficient for a household with this air conditioning large new refrigerator, PC?

I have 1 air conditioning Mitsubishi GR24 / 22000 BTU On specifications writes. Capacity rated 6.6 KW / 1.8 to 7.2          Total input rated 1.78 / 0.33 to 2.15

How many watts is it on? What is the consumption per hour?

You might think out of the box...

I replaced my master bath hot water point with a hot water tank (see below)... For my install I placed the tank in the attic just above the shower area but many can put it on the outside wall, under counter or above the toilet as you usually see in Vietnam... The unit only need wiring for 1,200 watts (it just has a plain wall plug and we rewired the old wiring into new receptical box in the attic... I chose a 50l as this seemed to suit our needs (two people/showers)but you can get larger units

Look good,but what does it do to the pressure of the water ? does it stay the same or ...

Just hate the winters here 2/3 of the year.

She is to blame,sad but that's how it is.

I did not see anything about "Free Care" in this survey. but please, feel free to change the subject.

Who the heck wants to talk about "Universal Health Care" when we can talk about "free care",, other than the OP. and most TVF members.

I will be 61 in June(not deaf yet so no need to shout at me with caps LOL), and I can't wait until 65 so that the Government can control my health care. Sick and tired of Wall Street controlling it now

Healthcare for all ,not free? then you will never have healthcare for all.

Universal healthcare is the cheapest, fairest, most effective means of ensuring a productive population and a stable society. And it is a right, not a privilege. 

 

@Scott mentions the US in his question above. My native country provides healthcare to all its citizens with superior results at half the cost of the US. The US "system" is one of the stupidest public policy decisions ever seen. No mandate for insurance, yet a law that says that hospitals must provide healthcare to any who show up at an emergency room (the MOST expensive healthcare there is). I guess that it is better than a policy which says "die on the street, and make it quick.", but not by a whole lot.

 

Thailand should provide the same level of care to ALL its citizens that it provides to its civil servants or military; that is the best way of ensuring that the government achieves the best practices possible at the most effective price. If the people that run the system use the system, then it'll be a good one. If the people who run the system don't use it, it'll be a half-ass mishmash of crap.

 

Universal healthcare is the way to go. All other system unfairly discriminate against people for their birth or for unforeseen circumstances in life. To those who don't like universal healthcare, isn't cancer in a child a great leveler? And why should one family be able to access care for their child while another cannot?

 

Universal care all the way.

What  country do you live in ?
