AEC Sdn.Bhd went to demonstrate how the Panasonic Inverter fare against the non inverter. Two current measuring meters were mounted to detect the current consumption on two types of Panasonic air conditioners of similar capacity.
The first video show an non inverter unit. The current consumption is indicated at 9.5 Amp. The second video show an inverter in action.
The current consumption is indicated at around 6 Amp on the meter. If you multiply the savings by 30 days over a year, that is quite a fair bit of savings. Brunei Darussalam may have cheap power now but things may changed in the next few years as Brunei has signed an agreement with Sarawak to purchase 400 units of megawatts from the Bakun dam. The Memorandum of Understanding was signed on July 12, 2009 Brunei Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Pehin Orang Kaya Pekerma Dewa Dato Sri Setia Awang Lim Jock Seng with the Second Minister of Planning and Resource Management, Datuk Amar Haji Awang Tengah Ali Hasan.
