If you use more than one main switch (MCB) make sure that the total max demand is equal to or less than the current rating of incoming mains. eg. 2 x50A = 100A. 2 x40A =80A.

One main switch ( MCB) rated to your mains size, this controls both load centres, one 32A MCB for each board, remove the 50A MCBs. A MCB will carry 1.2 rated load current.

They are expensive per tube (36W) (18W) and they cannot be substituted for an existing tube. The ballast and starter have to be removed and the wiring reconnected to one end of the tube.

Currently too expensive for the normal domestic type installation. Exit and evacuation lights are well suited to LEDs as current maintainance costs are high for normal light fittings. So are small downlights, LEDs can replace these.

The applicant is only applying for a visitors visa 676. all that has to be met is the criteria for this visa. All visas have different critera.( in other words requirements) The visa form has an information page.

One has to be very careful with the misinformation concerning LED fittings and lamps when comparing them with conventional lamps.

As with heat, lumens is lumens, there is no substitute so if you see a product with excessive savings in power consumption without creating an equivalent lumen output the only thing you are saving is the education process when you realise that the product does not perform to your expectations.

There seems to be no minimum performance standards as yet. One should be wary of any performance guarantees, eg 50000hrs, from an unbranded product from a company that was created last year. Operating conditions. Many fittings are designed to operate in ambient temperatures of 25C, when 40C would be closer to the mark.

So your lighting checklist, light=heat, heat =losses, lumens =lumens.

( Ref. Extract is part of an article from Pierlite Australia).

The applicants marital status would be single in this case. You are his friend (girl) only.

Thai passports can be renewed/replaced at selected consulates and embassies.

Eg: Sydney, Australia.(consulate) Now the Thai ID card may be replaced as well. One has to apply in person with the required documentation ( and fees). Passports are sent to your address by registered mail or equivilent service, the same would most likely apply to ID cards.

Not a real problem except for the costs of travelling (and accomodation) from where you normally reside.

One would be far better off renewing a passport and ID card when in Thailand.

You can obtain further information from the consulate/embassy by telephone if you live in one of the designated countries.

You could get a UV bug catcher plug in 220V with mesh screen. Will kill mosquitos, flies and insects including flying ants.

Then you can use the standard warm white/ white/daylight fluoresent tube(s).

Voltage drop and the size of the consumers mains are the important factors. Your voltage on load should not be less than 198VAC max. this is 10% below the nominal 220. the smaller the heater in kW the better, make sure you have good water pressure. A 20A heater is ample for showers, temp set at 60C max.

All switch mechs 10A 250V are suitable for fluoresent lighting loads, Manufacturers Clipal, HPM, PDL, Le Grand, National. Some have a 6.3 A rating ( European type) and are designed for electronic dimmable ballast units and fit a Euro type mounting.

A brownout is a prolonged period of low voltage (sag). A blown HV fuse on a 3 phase transformer will cause two phases on the LV to neutral to be normal (220V) and the third phase to fall to 155V. This phase is the one with low voltage. This is a fault condition.

Earth faults and short circuits on the distribution network must clear in less than 5 secs in fact in a short number of cycles, but auto reclosers on the HV may re-energise after the fault is cleared, generally twice then lock out.

Switching failures and errors cause load shedding and re-energiseation is brought on gradually in increments so as to maintain system stability. Transient faults are often seen as a short dip in voltage,

Long HV spur lines in rural areas have auto tap changing transformers which regulate the 3 phase voltage, they may be situated 20 to 30 km apart.

Most LV problems are within the customers electrical installation, excessive voltabe drop in mains, sub mains and final subcircuits.

When checking for low voltage it should be carried out at the main switchboard on no- load and then on load in increments.

The PEA has a voltage regulation requirement under TIS for +/-10% of nominal 220V. For the MEA it is +/- 7% in Bangkok.

Any voltage that falls below 190VAC on 220 V supply should be of concern. You should determine if your installation is the problem or the MEA/PEA distribution. Overloading, and phase unbalance in the HV or LV distribution network may be one of the causes.

Generally the circuit is run from the switchboard to a switch adjacent to the compressor unit and a multi core cable is run from the compressor ( terminal block) to the fan coil unit.

The switch should be IP56 rated ( weatherproof). For a 3.0kW input power unit, cable size 2.5sq mm, 20A MCB or RCBO.

2,5sqmm will carry 25 amps. Use a 20A MCB. an MCB will carry 1.2 x rated current continuously.

A complete wiring diagram is supplied with the airconditioner, use that, it will give the correct size of cable and protective device for the circuit from the switchboard.

Use a 10A or 16A switch.

Cable rating of a cable depends on the method of installation, individual single circuit, bunched( over 50% of the route length), in free air, in conduit, underground, unenclosed and enclosed in conduit ot duct.

It is required to derate cables under certain circumstances, eg when enclosed in thermal insulation( over 50% of route length).

Derating may apply to very long circuit runs to comply with impedance requirements under fault conditions.

For domestic installations, single circuit rating to IEC/AS/BS requirements is all that is required.

The rating of a protective device is based on the current rating of the cable in use.

IEC ratings 6/10/16/20/32/40/50/63/80/100.

Total arrivals, total departures in one year of Tourists ONLY.

Visa type .1 Entry stamp 30 day 2. TR visa 60day. Total number in each category.

Other visa types which are not for tourist perposes should NOT be counted.

That would give a more accurate figure. Figures for 2013/2014 are estimates only.

If you have an average 8.5km/sec wind speed over a 12 month period, an axial wind generator should be considered.

One problem is they have to be mounted somewhere around 30meters from ground level, and this can be a practical problem.

However it is possible to obtain power providing there is enough wind velocity 24/7. Again they are expensive.

The average punter would have given her a $100 ( a tip) and no more would have been heard of it.

She was a woman of low morals and money was the incentive as DSK was an important and wealthy person.

$6 million dollars? $5999900 too much.

Use a map of the area, a small hand held compass, know the location you start out at. Find this on the map , find out your destination on the map. survey your most practical route, read road signs etc.

You will never get lost.

OR, use a GPS with coordinates only with true north indication AND a map. With a compass for back up.

Austereo, the owner and operator of station appear to have breached the code of conduct and the law.

First, they prerecorded the transmission which was an impersonation of HM. It was done for the purpose of illegally obtaining imformation on a particular patient, who are entitled to privacy.

They did not obtain permission to play the tape publicly after recording the nurses reply (which is required under Australian law).

This is the third time Austereo has breached ACMA code of conduct.

Practical jokes, and so called pranks should only be played on persons you know personally and you must be reponsible for your actions. They should never be carried out on persons in a foreign country.

In Austereos case the result may have indirectly caused the death of an innocent person, in this case a nurse.

When my wife applied for a 309 visa in 2007 it was done with the minimal documentation but it met the criteria for the visa, letter from sponsor and applicant, IMTs, telephone accounts, no emails and 24 photographs and I had been married for 6 months and had known my wife for one year before marrying. Supplied evidence of 3 trips to Thailand up to the time of application.
