it seems its really sucking too much gas ,,,,,,,,,,,last month i got a bill of 4000 Rs ,,,,,,,,,usually it wont exceed 500 Rs in summer ,,,,,,,,,i plan to use smaller genertor in winter and ground this bigger generator till next summer,,,,,,,,,

well it can be posible,,,,,,,,the most simple and easy way is to use the split ac circuit,,,,,,,,,,there is a PCB inside the indoor unit of split ac which controls all the electronics including the remote control system,,,,,,,,,simply buy that complete PCB along with remote control , LCD is also mounted on that PCB ,,,,,,,,,its availabe on ac fride spare parts shops ,,,,,,,,but be carefull before buying as you need the one which has timer option , as you know some ac has sleep timer and some has not,,,,,,,,,so chose wiselly ,,,,,,,,you can make remote control timer system for your home appliances ,,,,,,,but i guess it will be a complex system and i really dont know you can handel all that electronics or not ,,,,,,,,,,,

Hi Friends!

I'm interested in making an on/off timer switch for a few of my home appliances where I can switch the appliance on for, say 2 hours, and then keep that appliance switched off for say 12 hours and then switch it back on for 2 hours after staying off for those 12 hours. So essentially it has to be a repeat / cycle timer that would allow me to set it's on and off timers in seconds, minutes and / or hours. An example of such an appliance where I would like to hook up this timer is a water motor, since at times my peon forgets to switch it off after switching it on, so I imagine such a timer would be useful as it would control the switching on and off itself.

Does anyone here know how to build such a timer?

My May 2012 gas consumption was 459 units and bill was Rs. 8210 @ old rate. On the basis of new reduced rate by sngpl, the same bill will come out to be Rs.4900 approx. I have been using Jiangdong JD 6500 watts which consumes almost 1.5 unit with one 1ton AC and rest house hold load.

guys jus wana know is there a way to inform sui gas company ,like i wont be here for some time so note down my meter reading and disconnect my gas?

guys just want to ask something, is your meter domestic or a commercial one?
I am asking 'cause after reading your posts I am afraid that I am also going to get such a hefty bill this month.
The most I have paid for my gas bill till today is just Rs. 750.
Please tell my if your meters are domestic or commercial?

@dadvoc
Well, the information and data given by me is on domestic meter basis

[hanimughal]

@tariq bro
yea thats what i always do, but before never faced this kind of bill ,so that was the only reason i was worried ,
@dadvoc yeah my meter is domestic and it was with load of 1ton ac and all house..and 12hours a day which makes aroun 360hours a month

[MoizIrfan]

be alert i think gas companies are raiding people's house for generators on gas by analyzing their consumption.

[MoizIrfan]

can I run a car AC fan for generator cooling for 2 hours continuous or sometimes more 4 to 5 hours by generator output. will the wires of fan get hot or do i have to take any precaution when installing it??

holy mackerel!!! :o
your meters are monster

@dadvoc true!!..

my friends ups continuously shifts from charging mode to normal mode when its charged from generator only. oherwise on kesc it works perfecly

[hanimughal]

@ moiz ,
adjust this variable of his ups kit.. there might be some fluctuation issue on his generator, as it is not giving the enough power to ups on which ups is getting no proper voltage signal so i guess you can adjust its current by this variable..by this variable u can adjust the mains low

by this i understand that i have to reduce the voltage by a variable resistor from where the ups takes signal of kesc? right?????

I think my rotor winding has burnt due to wrong wiring.

There are 2 wires for dc 4 for AVR and 4 more wires comign from dynamo. How to wire the 4 wires to get correct ac output?

hi guys, sorry if this question has already been answered but I couldn't find it
how much will the starter motor, ring gear, a new fly wheel and the other items cost? (I think these are the main items that agoodfriend has mentioned, please let me know if I am missing something)
I was going through this thread right from the start but I think the price is not mentioned.
I want to convert my gen on self start.
please reply...

hello,well u need a flywheel with gears ,a starter motor/ ht coil for charging ur 12v battery a DIODE well i turned my loncin 2.5kva for around 5k which includes a flywheel with gear/starter motor/ignition switch optional/ht coil/ flywheel cover... u can even use ur old flywheel cover by cutting it a bit from the right side

[hanimughal]

bro check!!

got it, thanks for providing the detailed pics bro!

What I meant was that I have more wires. not two that i can easily wire.
