You clean your lappie??

You need to do something like this, contactors are shown in the earlier linked thread.

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 ????

Yes, but that's the actual station NOT the CU it's fed from! You need Type-B RCDs too for proper protection. The installation instructions for the EVSE should have all the relevant detail.

Sadly, gone now, but I used to drive past a place near Guildford - "W. Plummit & Son. Winches" And the classics "Siemens, Staines" and "Otis, Reading" (the town Reading is pronounced as redding).

No problem with grounding, all your grounds are referenced to the common neutral in a TNC-S system. Oddly enough I was thinking along exactly those lines. One could adapt the ESP8266 internet timer that I'm using to control the export system on our solar to operate the transfer switch. Give it a calendar file as well and it could set up for holidays as well as weekends.

IIRC PEA are offering a 15/45 supply for the EV charger. That said, the electronic meters are all 5/100 rated and effectively "universal".

It will have no effect upon your EV charging. I'd go for it and get cheap power for your washer.

And I disapprove of obvious baiting / trolling threads.

Here you go - PEA Smart Plus_v2.1.8.apk It needs a 13 digit ID number in the correct format for Thailand, if you don't have a pink ID your Thai vaccine registration number should work. There are also websites that will create a valid Thai ID number out of thin air. No checking is done by the app.

Well, that driver certainly left his mark in the world! Fetching my coat ...

It's certainly worth taking it to one of the phone repair places, changing the charge port is (ok, should be) a trivial task.

Yeah, it's not ideal but of course our members don't want to be bombarded by spam posts and we don't want to be constantly removing them.

And I sincerely doubt that I can get my installer to come over at night I'm not sure which part is confusing you. If you are going to be turning export on/off by disconnecting the CT you need to do it when the inverter is sleeping, i.e. at night. Unless, of course, you intend re-booting the beast each time.

Did you actually get a re-entry permit before leaving?? Check you latest entry stamp for it's expiry date!

Generally, turning off completely would make it start from scratch, so you "should" be able to do that. But you would have to ensure it was completely "off", so no grid, no solar and then have a coffee to ensure everything was discharged.

Yeah, it's possible it checks for the presence of a CT when it wakes up, and just gets confused if things change when it's working, so any switching will need to be done at night. Great that you have a solution ????

It's also worth noting that some roads are now posting minimum speeds for certain lanes, AH1 (Route 32) north of BKK I don't go up there very often but seem to remember having this sign illuminate over my lane for going too SLOWLY!

Yeah, pets can be a problem with poisons, hence the pet proof solutions (DIY and commercial). Our barkers are such fussy eaters (spoiled child-substitutes) that they probably wouldn't bother with the rat bait anyway, but why take the risk.

We've also been adopted by a cat who chows down on all manner of small creatures. We just provide a small amount of food, fresh water and somewhere soft to sleep.

Are your LED drivers the constant-current type? If so they will compensate for "reasonable" volt drop. I really think you are over-thinking the issue to be honest.

SK Universal https://www.sk-wires.com/ can almost certainly source the cable, but they will only do it in the full 100m lengths.

I would be most surprised if they do NOT keep such records. At the simplest level they would know how much you exported each month. I can check my monthly consumption back to March 2021 on the normal PEA App, why would something similar not exist for those exporting? Also, the electronic meters are quite capable of recording the peak consumption / export. Whether they actually care or take any action is of course debatable.
