Residential electrical installations - best practices?
Crossy replied to OneMoreFarang's topic in The Electrical Forum
Have a look at this guide. https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Book/1.1.htm It's aimed at UK regs but the principles are the same. The Aussie regs are closer to Thai installations, but I don't have a simple guide. 00. AS_3000_2018.pdf -
Rystad Energy says that about €7 billion ($7.8 billion) of solar panels are now being stored in Europe, but European developers continued to buy solar modules from China throughout the first half of this year. https://www.pv-magazine.com/2023/07/19/european-warehouses-currently-host-40-gw-of-unsold-solar-panels/

Sorry, due to Thailand's draconian libel / defamation laws I've removed the name of the airline. Please feel free to PM our OP. -

Some grades of stainless are magnetic, many are not. -
We can't take her I'm afraid, but some photos would be handy for anyone looking for a barker.

At least it makes a change from the bog-standard snake in the lav ???? -
What type of MCB for an induction cooker in 3-phase operation?
Crossy replied to sathornlover's topic in The Electrical Forum
OK, it looks like it is correctly connected for 2 of your 3 phases plus neutral, so that one is cleared up. Can you check that you actually have 220V between your neutral and each of L1 and L2 at the stove. If that all checks out, and your pans are definitely compatible (do you have a cast-iron pan you can try?) then I too am suspecting an appliance fault. -
Yeah ^^^, what do you intend replacing your grass and plants with? The way forwards would determine exactly what you need to do in preparation.

What type of MCB for an induction cooker in 3-phase operation?
Crossy replied to sathornlover's topic in The Electrical Forum
Hmmmm. Is the cooker really intended to run on 2P+N? Can you upload the .pdf files you have please, I would have thought it was intended for 3P (no neutral) operation. Of course, I could be wrong, hence asking for the instructions. I would certainly have used a 3-pole MCB and 2x32A seems oversize for 7kW, again what does the book of words say? @bluejetswhilst we wait for the instructions, any thoughts on this? -
SCB ending SCB Easy Net internet banking.

It's no secret that my lady was a licenced masseuse working in a Rome (Italy) "Centro Estetico" (Beauty Centre) torturing fat Italian women who were paying >50 Euro an hour for her services (early 2000s). I had some very nice massages whilst we were courting Of course, these dried up once we got married ???? She previously worked at the Rome Thai Embassy, we have a photo of her (and other embassy staff) with the current Thai king (he was crown prince at the time). She is now a full-time housewife and granny looking after her animals and plants (I think I fit in the "animals" group, she feeds me).

That's going to be a nightmare methinks ???? I'd run some cyanoacrylate (superglue) into the delaminating area, that should stop it getting any worse, but an actual repair is another matter ???? Time to get out the Blue-Peter sticky-back plastic??

How about a solar car port on a budget?
Crossy replied to Crossy's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Since we have some spare steel in-stock, an expanded battery house is under construction, room for another 60kWh (4 x 48V, 280Ah packs) which we are never, ever going to need (or afford right now). Steel frame, walls and shelves of Shera board, so the whole lot is essentially fireproof (it will only house LiFePO4 packs anyway). Keeps me off the street. I must rescue that errant pressure tank, it floated there during the flooding last year -

Yup, our man should arrive on Tuesday. Sadly, due to being on no-export all month we are over the 300-unit limit so won't get the discount ???? -
Once you have your permanent supply which needs an "inspection" by MEA or PEA there's no further inspection needed, ever (unless you are going for a legal grid-tie solar system). So, no notifiable work, nothing. So long as you don't blow up the meter or start a fire (crypto miners seem to be the favourite cause of conflagration these days) nobody cares. Sad to say barely a month goes by without an article where a youngster, teen, granny or just ordinary person has been zapped by something innocent like a water-cooler, ATM or even a fence. For flips sake, there are even hotels that still have mains-powered pool lights!!
