Thanks. My friend has already put it on powerforum.co.za See link below: Inverter Fire

No Fuses. He does not have any PV connected. The output side just goes directly to a plug point and not through a second DB.

He has the input breaker on the DB board. The output breaker is on the unit. I have suggested that he fit an input fuse as I assume the input breaker on the board may not operate if the current is moving in the wrong direction through it.

A friend of mine purchased a Mecer (SOL-I-AX-5M4) inverter in November and had it installed. This is the new Axpert inverter range with the large color changing light depending what mode it is in. It is not a grid-tie inverter. Within 2 weeks after installation it caught alight a few minutes...

The Explora Ultra is very overpriced @R2299 and also very limited. If you do cancel your DSTV subscription your over priced ULTRA decoder will no longer run apps like Netflix. It also cannot run items off a memory stick/external Drive via the USB ports.  I have just bought a new Explora 3A...

The problem is the live sport. What are the options for getting around that these days? :thinking:

Yesterday I noticed one of our Explora decoders was not working. It was just showing a DSTV logo on the TV and on the front panel was displaying "loAd". I took the unit into the Multichoice customer service center in Randburg this morning and they tried to reset it twice but it failed to reset/...

Check for a dry solder joint where the pigtail meets the connection terminal

I did manage to find out that the agents for JBL Home products is Connoisseur Electronics. They referred me to Eurovision for the speaker repair as new units are no longer available.

I am assisting a friend to get a JBL OnBeat Xtreme repaired. The right woofer is distorting and after removing the speaker it seems the cone has partially torn away from the foam surround. The speaker is about three inches in diameter. What is the normal process with these speakers, i.e. repair...

Try a curtaining/ material shop. Ask for Blackout lining

:thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: Can you just imagine what the wife would say :angrywife: :angrywife: :angrywife: :angrywife: :angrywife: :angrywife:

I am just wondering what DSTV subscribers reaction is going to be when you get that letter advising on the latest price increase and justifying it by throwing in the Rand /$ exchange rate. I suspect it will be the last straw for many :sh1tstirrer:

Grew up in Cape Town and remember clubs like Forum, Xenon, Ritas, Charlie Parkers.......There was also another club in Sea Point....I think in the Ritz hotel, cannot remember the name Anyone remember club 604 on the top of the Heerengracht Hotel building in Cape Town....32 odd stories...

From what I have read on this forum and some other sites this HDMI issue is the reason I would not buy an Onkyo receiver. They should have had a recall and sorted out the problem and not expected their customers to pay exorbitant costs to fix their problems. For me it is simple: Who buys Onkyo...

Hi Josh, Firstly, well done! How did you know that it was that chip or is it obvious that it is the HDMI drive? What did the replacement chip cost?

I tend to think that a Sub build is all about the driver and the box design and would rather concentrate my efforts there. When it comes to the amp I would rather just get hold of a plate amp that its setup for the sub application (Auto "ON" detection, 180 degree phase shift, filter and gain and...

What kind of power are you looking for? What kind of budget do you have in mind?

I am trying to understand the incoming AC side of the inverter. I assume the connection of the inverter to the mains takes place before the existing earth leakage unit, from there you go into an isolator followed by a trip switch for the inverter and then to the inverter AC in. The output of the...
