  1. Thx for the warning. But may I ask if a mains cable blows (the 10mm²) won't it also damage the separate HDPE with the 2x1.5mm² as well as it's laying almost next to it or are you saying we have to separate that 3rd HDPE to a location somewhere else. And could cause a CT cable that much damage to their gear?? And what about the protection at the Inverter (CU Box) etc etc won't that prevent it?
  2. I know you did, but I want no stone left unturned if you know what I mean. I found a store in Buriram that MAY have it, will go and visit them tmrw. (Found them by calling all electric shops (that Google brought up) in Buriram 39 THB per Meter. NYY 2x1.5mm² Will report back!
  3. Thx @sometimewoodworker I am in Buriram and I have called all the shops around (and in Surin) even talked to the sales at DoHome and our builders merchant and they only sell per 100m roll or don’t have it (for example dohome and builders merchant). 10mm and bigger no issue but smaller not, the sales advised me to use VCT ???? also contacted many sellers on Lazada and I may have one option, but they haven’t responded to our message yet. will go tmrw anyway to do some extra shopping (need some more HDPE connectors amongst other things) and I will visit Global and TW and HP. if that all fails I am going for VCT together with the 1x NYY in HDPE together and will seal the ends of the HDPE with a bit of PU foam to prevent any ingress.
  4. Thx @sometimewoodworker The problem is that it has to be underground! I will be running 2x HDPE (all preparations like holes drilled etc etc have already been done) 1st HDPE - Will have 1x10 mm² NYY plus the VCT 2 x 1,5mm² 2nd HDPE - Will have only 1x10mm² NYY Why not both NYY in 1 HDPE you may ask? This in case I want to upgrade and use 16mm² NYY and 2 of those will NOT fit into 1 HDPE. HDPE we have ....loads but the preparations to have the HDPE (both) exit and enter have already been done thus a lot more work for 1 extra HDPE just for that VCT 2x1.5mm². And again it must be underground. If I could find 2x1.5mm² or even 2x2,5mm² NYY (not a Whole roll (need approx 30(ish)M only) Maybe have found a lead to NYY 2x1.5mm²
  5. Thx, So you are saying that I need to pull another HDPE Conduit just for the CT cable (which is going to be VCT 2x1.5mm²)??
  6. One of my all time favourite songs (but that whole album is a must have IMHO)
  7. Only used for the CT from the inverter to the house Main cables will be NYY!
  8. thx @Crossy May I ask what do you mean by this? We just asked our suppliers and NYY 2x1,5mm² is NOT available the only one available is 2x2.5mm² And what about VCT? (Even worse then THW??) The HDPE we are going to use is originally for water (blue stripe) as we have ... loads of it left and we were told that the Blue Stripe is stronger then the one for Electric (red stripe) but I guess YMMV.
  9. Put a finger in a dike (or dyke) should suffice I guess
  10. Now also the hunt is on for NYY 2x1,5mm² for the CT cable ???? was also thinking of using THW for that Edit: Question please is there any other cable that is suitable for burying in HDPE that is NOT NYY?
  11. Yes that was our intention to bury the HDPE the first 10-15 meters and then it will come up and then to it's intended location above ground. So THW won't be any good for this. Too bad!
  12. Reading the PDF about THW I think I need to go with NYY because of this warning 210531_450!750V 70C 60227 IEC 01 (THW)-REV 04.pdf
  13. I am going to use THW 16mm² in HDPE conduit outside, but for the last 1-2 meters it will be outside of the HDPE. (In those 1-2 last meters) It will be little exposed to the elements (no Rain but some sunshine could hit it), so my question is, can I use THW in this situation or do I need to switch over to NYY? Thx
  14. +1 Exactly the same as a 38,22 THB charge on the PEA Bill which is a standard Service Charge.
  15. I have never heard of charging for reading the water meter. Is the charge included on the bill?
  16. I have the APP and you just scroll ALL the WAY DOWN and the accept button becomes Clickable! In the APP the check button is NOT needed just scroll ALL the WAY down!
  17. Do you know if you can run ordinary panels with those systems, or do they use proprietary connectors? I find their foldable panels a bit expensive. 35990 THB for 400W https://www.lazada.co.th/products/ef-ecoflow-400w-ip68-i3980424807-s15412771562.html edit: Looking more closer, you can see "normal" MC4 connectors so I guess you can
  18. No replacing I guess a Software Update which will do the following ????
  19. Oke if they don't want the old one back (wait a few months) then start tinkering and maybe you can "unbrick" it and then you have a spare for "Igor and the Baron" ????
  20. I know the Movie with Boris Karloff (it's from 1931 that movie but still a great one)
  21. Another 11 days to go but we will (estimate) have only used around 169 units in total when the meter reader comes. Previous month we used 191 units so 169 is another 22 units below that This is a screenshot of our last 4 readouts
  22. Oke this one is called "Igor", what is the pet name for your other inverters? ????
  23. Thx. Wifey has around the same amounts but all in 10's and 20's. Oke we will give them to our Friend to exchange them in the UK Thx
  24. Found this. https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/exchanging-old-banknotes
