Just a thought.....I know its obvious but sometimes toasters don't latch due to debris getting in the way. If you arnt comfortable opening one up then try turning bit upside down and giving it a few knocks.

Frozen in time: British expats losing out on pensions in Thailand

Go home and queue up at clinics and hospitals? Do you think the NHS could handle it? What do illegal immigrants contribute? -
Sorry immigration has it and I never made a copy

I extended my retirement visa on Wednesday at airport imm. My bank supplied me with the Normal letter and a 'certificate' which looked remarkably like the letter, all for a bargain basement price of 300B. Being the first to arrive at imm I received ticket 001. By the time the previous days backlog was cleared I received a ticket in the 40s. I finally left at 11.30.

You must referring to the parking mode which can be turned off to prevent draining the battery. I would suggested fitting a power box, Blackvue and Viofo make them. They monitor the battery and turn the parking mode off at a preset battery level and or a preset time. Mine runs for up to 12 hours in parking mode and reduced frame rate. https://blackvue.com/parking-mode-accessories-overview/

Amnuay motor Air 2 have fitted a couple for me with front and back lenses. 500B at the time. They fit an extra power socket behind the dash so the normal power socket is left free.

PEA advises on cost-effective air conditioners amid Thai heat
Dellboy218 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Its not 440V it's is 380V. 220 x Sq root of 3. As an induction motor is 3 phase and most will only be supplying a single phase then obviously you have to generate a 3rd pase. This is done with a capacitor, the uF value is set to give the 120 degree variation between phases to give the best torque. The capacitor is normally the first thing to breakdown. You hear any motor making humming noises but going nowhere then the chances are it's the capacitor. Applies to a lot of washing machines pumps etc. It's the capacitor wots failed! -

Do you still have the paperwork with your breaker? Buy one in the box and it often comes with a graph. You would have to know what your liading is to see if it's the correct breaker. If it hasn't tripped then it's obviously big enough. Pm me with make and model No. And I will see if I can find anything. -

A circuit breaker operates on current and time. The attached graph might help explain. You would have to investigate your own particular breaker to confirm. -

If it is an inverter model then no. If a direct on line non inverter model then it will take considerably more. Standard Indiction motor theory. If you do not believe me then this might help. Just a quick copy paste. I did say up to 7 they day 5 or 6. It depends on the startup load and how quickly it gets up to speed The starting current of the induction motor is about 5 or 6 times the motor full load current. An induction motor of rating 11 KW,22 Amps,440 volts takes a high starting current of about 132 Amps. The current reduces as the motor accelerates towards its base speed or synchronous speed.Feb 25, 2564 BE -

FALSE I believe I was talking about me. Did I mention any one else? What you did say was that the airdry function found on just about every aircon is meaningless. Now perhaps you can bring graphs and reviews to to prove your hypothesis. -

FALSE The dry mode does not gorce the aircon to run slowly. That will be up to the programme in the PLC or whatever controller it used. I Also said it was up to the controlling device that was used. It is that that sets the working conditions. You can bring all the graphs you want but ask how many people run an aircon or dehumidifier in the winter months. When it's cool it is not noticeable. In the hot summer months it certainly is. Perhaps you should contact all the aircon makers and tell them their air dry mode is meaningless! I have always found it to be very effective. Perhaps you should try it. I have lived in this same house for 35 years and have never had mold on anything. I also have a house the other side of Ubon, I don't remember mold there either. Perhaps if one lived in the forest your copy and paste might be true. -

Forgive me but I am straining to understand. Chiang Mai in the winter months has very low humidity, why on earth would you be running the aircon air dry? In the upcoming wet season it can be very hot and humid and I will be running mine as it does work without making it to cool. The dry mode does not gorce the aircon to run slowly. That will be up to the programme in the PLC or whatever controller it used. Of course the DOL compressor will cycle on and off just as in its cooling mode. I have old DOL aircons upstairs and I have to strain to hear the compressors cycling. but then I had concrete plinths built into the wall. So I don't get any noise. Again why would you use a dehumidifier in the cool season. I've been here 35 years and I have never had the need for dehumidifiers in the cool season. -

But we are not in Taiwan, at least I am not. Where does Taiwan come into this discussion. It is not dry mode that is meaningless. You've got compressors slowing down and then switching on and off. Are we talking inverter or DOL? -

I have had a look at the site you provided. I would rather go with getting a unit a little larger than too small. I don't like machinery running flat out for extended periods but thats just me. It does mention humidity and indeed many people say if it's too big it won't clear the humidity. To that I say "cobblers". Every aircon has an air dry function which also takes into account the humidity level which negates a lot of the problems mentioned. It also says wear and tear switching on and off too much. Perhaps it wouldn't be a problem if used differently, not a problem with inverter models of course. This might help explain: https://learn.sensibo.com/b2c-blog/what-is-dry-mode-on-ac-explanation-of-its-purpose-and-benefits?utm_source=google_ads&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign={campaign.name}&utm_content={adset.name}&utm_term=&hsa_acc=7667843704&hsa_cam=21096387540&hsa_grp=&hsa_ad=&hsa_src=x&hsa_tgt=&hsa_kw=&hsa_mt=&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw26KxBhBDEiwAu6KXt0Tlj6eZslNiOqDKeCemjgKARR_k0XdESL6n45ibCFVH1VcQ32j6KRoC7SoQAvD_BwE -

Perhaps not as brief as you think and it adds up. As I said when they are both running at full chat they take roughly the same energy. Whilst the old model is switching on and off the inverter model is modulating up and down not taking full energy when it doesn't have to. Generally I do not think it's worth changing until it goes faulty. I am no expert either but I did look after Industrial aircons along with everything else electrical on everything from the largest ships afloat down to survey ships for 45 years. -

Furthermore, the PEA informs about the energy-saving advantages of modern inverter air conditioners since they cool rooms quickly and efficiently An inverter aircon does not cool any quicker than a non inverter type. Equivalent size compressor units will or should cool the same although they may use different refrigerant gasses which may make a difference. Both types will use roughly the same electrical energy when running flat out, with similar sized compressor. Where an inverter can save electricity is on compessor start up. An induction motor as in the compressor can take around 7 times its running energy to start. So if your non inverter unit is set so that it is switching on and off constantly then it will be losing out to an inverter model. The inverter models don't have this problem. Inverters will also modulate up and down to maintain a steadier temperature rather than on/off. -
Swiss Expat Critically Injured in Scooter-Car Crash in Pattaya
Dellboy218 replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
I'm surprised no one has mentioned this and I make no comment about this accident or the people involved except that I wish them a speedy recovery. The elephant in this particular room. Did the trike have a number plate? Was it taxed and insured? Did he have a license and was he wearing a helmet? As far as I can tell, anybody correct me if I am wrong, but basically if it's got pedals it's an assisted bicycle and no license etc required. If it's not got pedals then it's classified as a motorbike. This is a serious question that should be addressed by the Police as there are more and more on the road and there will he more unfortunate accidents and insurance companies will not be wanting to pay up if they don't have to. Clarification is urgently required -
Thailand urged to increase renewable power target beyond 50%
Dellboy218 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
That is the best suggestion. Heavily susidise panels/batteries/inverters to fit on private houses/buildings. After all if it goes wrong you can fall back on the grid. The grid has no fall back.
