  1. You need an Omron H3Y timer, 12V, 60 second (or whatever range fits with the delay you want). https://www.lazada.co.th/products/1pcs-h3y-4-dc-12v-delay-timer-time-relay-switch-0-60-minuteseconds-adjustable-5a-with-base-socket-rotary-knob-dpdt-i4421023836-s17670357090.html? Other sources may be cheaper, or your local electrical emporium may have something suitable.
  2. Which genset controller do you have? Omron make some simple timers that can be configured to do what you need. I'll find part numbers when I get home. What's the DC voltage at your controller, 12V? If you could post a sketch diagram of what you have now that would be handy.
  3. Pathum Thani want a new TM30 (and a home visit) every year for marriage extensions (not sure about retirement), but as usual each office has its own roolz ???? Luckily the "paperwork" also includes the wife so it's no hassle to do one there and then.
  4. You are thinking of an RCD or RCBO, readily available from the big DIY places or Lazada. If you post a photo of the CU we can suggest a way forwards. BUT These will (probably) stop you from dying, they won't stop you from getting anything from a tingle to a pretty noticeable shock from your appliances, particularly if they have a bunch of electronics or are "inverter" type. Since you are renting and the landlord isn't going to spend $$$ you probably want to get a couple of the 1m long earth rods and some cable from the same place as your RCBO and earth your Class-1 appliances. You can even get 3 pin to 2 pin adaptors with a tag to install your earth connection.
  5. Sounds like a waterlogged pressure tank ???? Usually an easy fix ???? Can you post a photo of your pump with the plastic cover off (if it has one) and someone will be along with simple instructions.
  6. This being the case and the forum rules prohibiting the discussion of illegal topics this thread is closed.
  7. Sorry, but since gambling is illegal in Thailand and the forum rules prohibit discussion of illegal acts, I'm going to have to close this thread,
  8. Yeah, driving into BKK this morning the roads are still wet and decidedly slippy due to no rain for a while. Amazingly I only saw one car in the ditch. Take care out on the roads people!
  9. Yup, great minds think alike, you beat me by 1 minute. Pretty typical really ????
  10. At least give them a chance and use your oven rather than microwave!
  11. Which, sadly is unobtainium ????
  12. I do note that you possibly have L and N (colours) connected differently on each side.
  13. And of course, it's always possible it's busted from new ????
  14. Yeah, that's what I thought, but then I read on one of the pages for similar switches "this switch can not be used for generator starting" ????
  15. Yeah, I see that too, but it's unclear exactly what your green connectors do and connecting them incorrectly could fry something. Try this. With it connected as you have it. In Manual set to OFF Power on the Normal side. Switch to Auto. - Does it move? Power on the Reserve side Power off Normal side - Does it move? EDIT and message the seller of course ???? EDIT 2 Have you got a load on the output?
  16. It's on the front plate, just not readable in your earlier photo, need to try Googleing how to connect.
  17. Can you post a clear image of the switch part number please?
  18. You could try contacting the seller (yeah, right) Are there any markings on the green connector? Try connecting it like this (all three L connected together): -
  19. U got the manual? (or any documentation) No experience of that switch but I think there's supposed to be something connected to that green connector.
  20. You could use a solid-state relay to swich the panel side of the controller (did we think of that last time?) then it would work just like night time. You'd still have to run a cable from the tank (level switch) and provide 6-12V to run the relay (a 6V lantern battery would last forever)
  21. No problem. I'm sure your man did a good job, but we all make mistakes, and simply getting the CT wires reversed isn't beyond the realms of possibility. One easy test you could do is actually set the inverter to not export, then check what the meter is doing.
  22. Please don't lose sight of the fact that this is a 750W DC pump, your regular level switches will fail almost immediately switching DC. It's not insurmountable of course but there's a whole thread about automating this particular set-up.
  23. @statman78 can you post a photo of where your CT is positioned? Any joy with the installer?
  24. Yeah ^^^. Dicey putting the name of the bank so I've removed it. I'm sure our OP will enlighten anyone who asks via PM. How was the transfer initiated? That must surely be the starting point, maybe try further up the bank food-chain?
  25. This was just a practice! https://aseannow.com/topic/1288235-fire-guts-met-police-building-in-sathorn/
