Yeah, it's built into every domestic-type grid-tie inverter I've ever come across. Anti-islanding is indeed the correct term.

Mirrors absent on motorbikes, is this a 'thing'?
Crossy replied to notrub's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Mirrors? We don't need no mirrors! -
Yup, after the flooding had peaked and the bags were about to be removed.

Ours are Shera board, wood patterned but they're not wood coloured (painted the same colour as the walls). Nothing looks quite like real wood, but of course it comes with maintenance requirements.

Do keep us informed on what transpires. Our panels are all too visible on Google Maps, so if PEA get the urge, they don't even need to leave their aircon office.

How much does PEA charge to connect electric to land per metre?
Crossy replied to ubonr1971's topic in The Electrical Forum
I think it depends where the poles are located (public or private land) but I'm not totally sure. That's certainly the case when you "pay" for a new transformer, you would expect PEA to maintain it then of course. -

If the poles actually belong to your neighbour it can't hurt to ask if you can piggy back on them (for a fee of course). There is always a risk that in future you might have a "falling out" with them or subsequent owners of the land and suddenly find yourself without power. -

I suggest your first port of call be the local PEA office with the address and the meter reference of one of the existing meters (so they can accurately pinpoint where you are). EDIT A Google maps printout wouldn't go amiss too. They will tell you where they can install a meter, how big a supply you can have (important) and be able to point you at a "contractor" who can give you an estimate. I put "contractor" because most of the PEA offices have crews who will moonlight for jobs like this. Our poles were put in (on a Sunday) by a crew driving a PEA truck and wearing PEA uniforms, the poles are stamped "PEA". Pay the foreman in cash! I think we paid about 15k for 4 poles and 60m of single-phase wiring, but that was waaaaay back in 2011. -
Our place is on two chanotes, we didn't bother but I understand it's not a mega task to link them. If your land office is crazy busy like ours, they may be reluctant and require a little "lubrication". Nobody said anything about our house which does actually overlap slightly, the second plot would need an easement to access it anyway so would never be sold separately in our case.

"Storage damage" to three cameras? Yeah, right! Must have been a power surge! Back in the early noughties my digital camera actually did have a hard drive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microdrive

Aren't those intended to interface Aluminium cables to copper rated terminals?

How do you manage to get good long lasting batteries?
Crossy replied to In Full Agreement's topic in General Topics
Which Powerex charger would you recommend for this task? -

A cheap DIN mount consumer unit with a bit of activity with a file/saw? Mega Home have a decent selection of plastic boxes which should do the trick too.
