It all boils down to the installation as you have said but it also lies behind solid and reliable engineering for reliable operation. First few years is never an issue, but as the years progress by mechanical stuff tend to fail out due to poor engineering. Compressor stuff now a days are...

Yes. perfectly working unit copper tubes must sweat. If there is no sweat in the bigger tube means less refrigerant. If ice formed on the bigger tube means over filled refrigerant. Estrella is one sweet machine, build quality is amazing once can remove the entire plastic panel in the idu in...

Few years back Sharp was the most talked AC in our forum but now it has gone down to drain. Better go for Daikin or Mitsubishi heavy industry . Even carrier AC is bought by Midea which is chinese company. Our 1.0T carrier estrella still after 7 years of working consume 980Watts of power which is...

Dont forget 9.5 hrs compulsory working time

Its acceptable when the stabilizer is doing regulation, but when the voltage is already in the range there is a loss of 100w just by passing through stabilizer. I am referring to locally made stabilizer. Fortunately vguard vew500 seems to bypass the transformer when the line is regulated.

I might received a defective piece. My point is to check the operating current without stabilizer and with stabilizer then compare the power lost in stabilizing the voltage. AC is the only unit connected to the meter and say even 10~15% loss is a huge amount considering 1000+ watts of power...

I have tested few more stabilizers in the mean time and I found vguard VEW500 is very good. At no load the consumption is very negligible once the load kicks in its almost equal to ac running without stabilizer. I have tested another local brand name SPARK . At no load its happily sips out 100W...

Can you tell me how PF is taken into account for the power consumption. Vaguely I remember P=V*I* PF for AC power supply. I think almost all stabilizer companies are forgetting an important aspect to bypass stabilizer requirement when the inline voltage is high enough to be stabilized.

As the soaring heat in summer and ever rising EB bills we are seeking ways to minimize the cost by paying premium for the Inverter and 5* A/C's. How ever till the time I failed to realize a big parasitic load ever connected to our A/C. I am referring to our stabilizer. Recently we replaced old...

I dont know how ppl from coastal region use 28C in AC without using ceiling fan. Airflow from A/C will not be sufficient to feel comfort at 28C. Body mechanism of feeling cold is different from temperature probes measurement. Human body use latent heat of vapourization to feel the cold. If there...

Dont forget electrical appliances in US work with 60Hz frequency. Stepdown transformer will not alter the frequency

Electricity has the same identity of fluid flowing through pipes. We generally get very poor voltage as our house located near dead end of the electric pole. I get as low as 110V. If some home is consuming excess power ahead of my home, then the line will have a potential drop aka as low...

Oh yeah. you are right. All power consumption are same between the models. Another marketing ploy. But with variable speed compressor there will be sweet spot just like driving a bike at 50kmph will give best mileage. They would have used such curve and ran the A/C to get that EER. We need to...

@Praks : Np. Did you tried loading the inverter after repair?. When new I tried loading with quad core pc , 32 in lcd, 5 tubelight, 4 fan, 2 cfl. Inverter runs without hiccup till i start another fan and overload indicator comes into picture. I do a load test once in 3 months to access the...

Nice information Rishiguru. Last winter I was looking for sharp A/C especially 1T NRV model as the part load is very low somewhere around 190W compared to 250W for the 1.5T. But decided to buy next year after getting hold of my new home. As you have said Inverter A/C is of no use when you...

Thats great your issue is resolved. We have a locally company 850va sine wave inverter "Digital Home UPS" . When I removed the inverter for cleaning I observed a small 2.5 uF ceiling capacitor crossed with the output line. Promptly I replaced with 8uF oil capacitor to reduce the switchover time...

Tell me an Indian company that manufactures mobiles. i am not talking about the assembly plant. Nokia - Finland, Apple- US, Sammy - Korea, LG- Korea, Sharp - Japan. All micromax, Maxx, Videocon are rebranded chinese.

I have brought Videocon A30 for 6.5K. This is a very VFm tag considering snapdragon dual core processor, 512Mb ram, 4 inch WVGA screen, front vga cam, Ambient light sensor, proximity and accelerometer. GPS fixing is very very fast its under 15 secs without agps support. My wave takes 2mins and...

You lost the hold buddy. I doubt you will get any cheque now. You must confirmed without handover the cheque you wont handover the STB.

If you need peace of mind 4 year warranty and good quality picture ,sound and less expensive solution barring HD-ready, Toshiba 32pb20 is a better choice and plays all movies even from HDD. Our tv works with portable 500 GB drive by poviding seperate power to the disc.
