Induction Heater use in Remote villages where voltage is low.

[Subroto Sarkar]

I am trekking remote villages. I am carrying induction heater for my cooking. I am facing a problem. The moment I switch on the watt shows 1200. Before I could do anything the fuse of the house goes off. In one house I installed the switch which trips in case of voltage goes high. Result the fuse from the pol went off. Electrical engineers of the dept advised me not to use it.

The stove is very very useful for me. Can any one give me a suggestion how to beat the problem. Is theri any stabiliser available which will recharge a battery that will supply current to the 2000 watt heater for 10 to 20 30 mts in a day but will draw say 100 to 200 watt from the mains to recharge the battery remaining 23 hrs.  If such is not available can it be fabricated.

I am trying to introduce remote village tourism. This apparatus will be helpful to the places where electric supply is low volt.

hello

 

2000W for 1/2 hour = 1kWh or 1000W during 1h. This is a lot of energy to store in a battery (car battery’s soring usual 60Amp/h by 12V. This is not enough. Therfore often gas heaters are used to solve this problem.

I am a electric engineer and I doe not knop of switches that swith off when voltages rises (in homes). I think you mean that it trips when current goes up.

AC 1kVA (1000W) Voltage stabilisers can be found on the internet here: http://www.vguard.in/stabilizer/voltage-stabilizers/stabilisers.htm#AC and here:http://www.ashleyedison.com/products/ses-automatic-voltage-regulator.htm

As you can see it is nothing to carrying with you…
