    Wait a minute: Standard transformers here are 10KVA which might handle 3 small native houses. If you are running perhaps 3, 1.5hp AIRCON units you may wish to purchase your own upgraded transformer to 15KVA, only for your house and not shared with neighbors. A 15KVA new will cost about 50,000 php at Polaris. Now, 2500 KVA or 2.5 Megawatts will energize about 1/4 of the Island of Siquijor. If you really mean 2.5 KVA, that might handle a small 35 sq meter pag-ibig house (like Carmela), without AIRCON. Just sayin’ :pontificating:

    That fits most non-Filipino definitions of “brownout”. Low voltage. But that is really low; no AVRs cannot stabilize 100v back up to 220v as that would have to double the input current. No way.

    That is for sure and it will burn out a voltage regulator too. I have lost a frig., micro wave, voltage regulator and a 54,000 peso TV along with other smaller items. Two TV repair shops said it was DOA and not repairable. :hungover::rage::woot::banghead2::hmmm::machinegun2: On my transfer switch box cover I marked it GEN. and Brown out. When NORECO II service man was here he ask why I marked it that way. I said with a strait face, that Brown-out was "NORECO II family name. :victory: He said "I don't thing that was funny". I said "it was not intended to be funny". :superman: Get use to it Dave. I been here 8+ years and the only improvement was with a 200,000 peso up grade a 2500 KVA transformer.
