Pulling cables with talcum powder through pipes?
Crossy replied to OneMoreFarang's topic in The Electrical Forum
I wondered where I'd seen the white stuff before ... Google "Japanese live action tentacle" (for grown-ups only) -

This one may be better for the cable sizes we are interested in. -

You may not need quite so much ???? -

The "proper stuff" would be cable-pulling lubricant, if you can find it. Talc won't hurt the cables but I'm not sure how effective it will be. An assistant pushing from the other end helps a lot to take the tension off when there are bends to negotiate. -

The oldies are the best ... Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates. "In honour of this holy season" Saint Peter said, "You must each possess something that symbolises Christmas to get into heaven". The Englishman fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. "It's a candle, he said. "You may pass through the pearly gates" Saint Peter said. The Scotsman reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, "They're bells." Saint Peter said "You may pass through the pearly gates". The Irishman started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's panties. St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, "And just what do those symbolize?' The paddy replied, "These are Carols." And So The Christmas Season Begins......

24v ~3kw off-grid inverter recommendation?
Crossy replied to SunshineHarvey7's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Yeah ^^^, low-frequency inverters do tend to be more robust when it comes to overloads etc. Sadly they also tend to be rather more expensive than their high-frequency "transformerless" cousins. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/inverter-hybrid-off-grid-psmart-3kw-24v-toroid-mppt60a-i2273814730-s7639523207.html -

Seen on a motoring forum:- What do you do if you get rear-ended? If you know it is coming? Lube. If you don't? Preparation H.

Already a running topic. Let's continue there. RIP Darren -
What to use to protect Tomatoes and other veggies
Crossy replied to MJCM's topic in Plants, Pets & Vets in Thailand
Yeah, neem is what Madam uses although she adds some of the local tobacco to the "tea" she sprays on the trees (nobody in their right mind would actually smoke the stuff). -
To be honest, this worries me, although I have completed my business with them. I had a mate killed in the Phuket One-2-Die crash, his business just vanished and his wife had to go into hiding from his somewhat miffed clients (she knew nothing about the business). RIP Darren, you did the job for me no problems.

How much did it cost you to have a laptop cleaned?
Crossy replied to csaba81's topic in IT and Computers
You clean your lappie?? -

It is of course entirely up to you, but IMHO the risk of accidentally connecting two phases together via your transfer arrangements is really too great. You have no control over what and when PEA do any work in the street. The resulting bang isn't going to be small. In fact, it will be potentially explosive, leading to the destruction of your contactors and very possibly your meters. I've not actually measured it, but the transfer using our interlocked contactors is sufficiently fast that none of our kit objects, there's barely a flicker of the lights.
-
Warning Will Robinson! Warning!! Be very careful. If your meters are not on the same phase some pretty major bangs will result. Even if they are on the same phase NOW it's always possible that PEA will come along and move one of them to a different phase to balance their load. Break-before-make every time when switching supplies. EDIT I would also use electrically and mechanically interlocked contactors, have a look at my 3-way transfer switch thread for examples and source.

I did post the installation instructions for the BYD Good-Cat charger, but of course now I can't find them on AseanNow or the BYD website ????
