S.K. Universal https://www.sk-wires.com/en/ will likely get you whatever you want. But, you will have to buy a whole roll. Coloured heatshrink is your friend.

@Bandersnatch has a system which would match your requirements. You will need to do some sort of energy use estimate to get an idea of how big a system you will need. Have a look here:-

This might do better in the Alternative Energy forum. If you don't get any responses here PM me and I'll move the thread for you ???? EDIT Moving to Alt Energy

My cards are set up with 2-factor authentication, the perp needs my phone and for it to be unlocked to make an online purchase. A text with an OTP is sent, you enter the OTP into the online purchase site. I'm sure it's not totally secure but it worked well enough when someone tried to use my card details to buy some stuff in the US. I awoke to a bunch of authentication texts and an equal number of "please phone card security" texts. No transactions went through but I still had to get a new card with all the pain that goes with it.

Well the river level doesn't really seem to be doing much, 110cm below my reference "worry" level. It's high and plenty of areas are flooded but it's not really moving much, at least not yet.

Meanwhile, on our side of the same river, in the same area we are now 140cm below "worry" level. Yes, many of the village houses are using boats but the occupants just get on with life. What's coming from the north ... EDIT Madam has suggested that some jealous (flooded) people "might" have opened some floodgates! This happened last time too.

Yup, that's the beast. Arrow points towards the meter (incoming supply) if it's installed on the live wire as per the instructions. It WILL work on the neutral but needs to point the other way.

Working from memory here but IIRC disconnecting the CT will NOT make it export unless the solar input is zero (the inverter stays at whatever power it was generating at the time.). Connect the CT at any time and it will stop export immediately. We only change our CT connection at midnight coz that's when the auto system does it.

Yeah, I've had a couple of refunds to card take rather a long time, but they've arrived eventually.

Could be the wrong setting? On your inverter it's "Reflux Power" or "Anti Reflux" I think, check the manual. "Reactive" is something else and should be left as default (it's used for correcting poor Power Factor).

Yeah, and I see the new house on the other side of the road where you hijacked the crane from to install them ????

Yellow Pages is much better

Cable length won't be an issue ???? To isolate the CT you just need to break one of the wires, it's low voltage/current** so any cheap switch will do the trick, I used a 125V rated miniature toggle switch. ** Do note that these high-frequency "transformerless" inverters can often give a "tingle" on the interface pins, so do kill the power to the inverter before handling the wiring. It's not going to do you any harm other than making you drop the screwdriver, but best to be safe.

Yup ^^^, sticking another pack of the same voltage and chemistry in parallel will work just fine. Of course, the combined packs will take longer to charge assuming the UPS charge current remains the same.

I shall refrain from further comment until the results are in unless someone posts something that is hazardous to life.

The problem is that "zero" fits nicely into the "up to 30%" bracket. I'm afraid that 110% of the devices promising to save on your energy bill with a simple plug-in device are all smoke and mirrors. By the way, the water demo works just fine with an unprotected supply. Reasonably pure water is a pretty poor conductor. Ask him to get hold of a live conductor and I might take notice.

Start here:-

Meanwhile I have a system that saves me up to 90% of my electrical energy bill. Documented and verifiable in my thread in the Alternative Energy forum.

This is a major red flag!!! It will be most interesting to see what actually occurs. But there is no way that a device as shown in your photo could be anywhere near fast enough to prevent a lightning induced surge. Sustained over-voltage yes, but there are plenty of those on Lazada. Please do post your better video.

Meanwhile the wet is also piddling in through the roof of the Pink Line Operations Control Centre, not made it into the news ???? Same civils contractor!

Borrowed from another Asean Now forum...

Not cheap indeed, but most definitely not that expensive either. A decent quality on-grid hybrid inverter which incorporates the MPPT controller, DC-AC inverter and battery charger runs to about 48,000 Baht (1,100 squid or so) for a 5kW unit, there are cheaper units available of course. We have one of these https://www.lazada.co.th/products/solar-sofar-hybrid-on-off-inverter-hyd-5000es-50kwpea-list-approve-i2064152396-s6736374882.html I wouldn't use Li-ion batteries, they have a nasty habit of going whoosh if abused, LiFePO4 packs are much safer (although they still need appropriate safety precautions), a 48V 100Ah pack (About 4.5kWh of usable storage) runs to anything upwards of 50k Baht, DIY a pack with second-life cells and you can go cheaper if you like. Panels are about 3-4,000 Baht for 340W polycrystaline, a bit more for mono. Most panels incorporate bypass diodes which will mitigate shading to some extent although not as well as panel optimisers (but IMHO spend the $$$ on more panels) or micro-inverters (good luck adding storage).

They even say they have supporters around the globe!!

Conclusive proof!!

Late update today (some of us have to work). 112cm below "Worry" level, currently reasonably stable. We shall see what happens when the latest deluge arrives from the north.
