I reckon you're pretty close. A few thoughts: - Have you considered how to connect all those neutrals to the incoming neutral? Similarly, three lives to each of the incoming lives? You might want a non-RCD protected circuit for your freezer (coming home to a defrosted freezer in a tropical country is not fun). Do think about adding lightning surge suppression. And under/over voltage protection. Are you considering solar? A backup generator? You must have a pretty big place, running sub-mains and having local consumer units for each zone may prove more economical on cable. Same for the shed/man cave. It's far easier to plan for expansion now than it is to expand a non-expandable system.

Your idea of "diversity" seems fine to me. Correct. I really think that you are over-thinking here, you will end up with a vastly over-specified system, of course that won't hurt anything other than (maybe) your wallet. Do a sketch of what you propose to do and let the brains that know analyse.

In reality your 40A RCDs will be fine, they don't explode or stop working at 40.01A. If worried keep the total of the breakers controlled by said RCD to <40A. Putting an MCB in front of the RCDs seems like overkill although it does let you kill all juice to that section without turning off the whole installation.

I'm going to nip this one in the bud! Let's play nicely people. Holidays are still only a click away!

The customs chaps at the airport are on the lookout for easy pickings. Over limit on booze or tobacco, there's no mechanism for paying duty so it's customs party time!

You will likely get a 15/45 3-phase which is 45A per phase (usual incomer 50A - increase to 63A when the inspector has gone). Have you done a prospective load estimate? Most of us manage on a single-phase 15/45 ???? Depending upon where you are you might be able to get a 30/100 single-phase supply, use a 100A incoming breaker ???? EDIT I must do that drawing I promised, sorry it's been chaos at work.

Bard AI on the Tesla Megapack 2 battery chemistry.

Story here https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/sep/27/tesla-lithium-battery-fire-bouldercombe-energy-storage-site-project-rockhampton It's a Tesla site which I understand is Li-ion not LiFePO4. But excellent advice in the OP about where (or where not) to place your pack.

RIP Kwasaki ???? Definitely an excellent member and contributor. Both times I came off in my biking days and idiot car driver was involved, any indication what happened??

If you look at an actual switch you can see where the terminology comes from.

Looks OK, verify with the inverter manual. Note that normal terminology is that a switch or breaker is Closed = On, Open = Off.

Let me do a sketch once I get home, I don't have Visio on my office machine. If you do it like the inspector is expecting then he will be happy. The inspections usually are pretty minimal, if he sees what he expects to see. Ours was 30 minutes max, 25 minutes of which was him drinking coffee and gassing with Madam. He looked at the rod, and the MEN routing, noted our RCDs and moaned that the poles weren't straight.

If your 4-pole incomer has a dedicated N way then no real reason not to use it. You could even make the N-E link after the breaker which would allow complete isolation from the outside world. Not sure how the inspector would react to that mind. The diagrams in the PEA doc are single-phase of course where you DO switch both L and N lines. Have a read of this page https://www.electrolesk.com/Work/Wiring of Three Phase Distribution Board.htm You need to do something like this with the added N-E MEN routing: -

My annual "are you still alive" check by my pension provider uses an App on the phone (you can do a paper one if you want). Get a selfie on the screen and blink slowly. App goes beep and you're done.

I've always found these apps to work best on a smartphone. I've really no idea why, possibly they simply have better cameras. And, I invariably have to get someone else to actually hold the phone, my brain just can't cope with holding ID and phone, getting everything in the picture and then pressing the shutter.

This ^^^. Also, if travelling alone with the youngster you should carry a letter from the other parent permitting you to do so.

We all know, electricity and water don't mix!

They are hiding in plain-sight.

Making everything 2-pole (or 1P+N) is going to confuse the heck out of the inspector (not to mention your sparking contractor). A diagram may help but if you get a mean inspector ... Personally, I'd stick to the standard Thai kit, single pole MCBs and multiple small ground bars for each RCD.

This PEA document explains the minimum requirements, the OP seems to meet it. Groundwire Mk2 book-Manual.pdf BUT as @bluejetssuggests a diagram would be most useful. Switching the N on a 3-phase supply is not usually recommended, you need a specific 4-pole breaker which connects N first and disconnects it last. Just use a 3-pole, it's easier and cheaper. The important diagram, my translation.
