Long, long ago a group of us were on a beach in Phuket with our "rentals" from the previous evening when I had an "escape"! (cut-off jeans were a little too short) All that happened was a load of giggles from the girls and an interrogation of my "friend" ("Fish" from the Star Bar on Bangla Road IIRC") as to whether it worked as well as it looked! Confirmation was given

Which particular "Traditional Thai" roof are you imagining? There are many. What materials are you envisaging?

Yup, no problem for me. Are you seeing the images in other threads ok??

Does my CU set up comply with Thai regulation?
Crossy replied to jim234's topic in The Electrical Forum
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. -

Crossy replied to jim234's topic in The Electrical Forum
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. -

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. -

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