This will take you back ! How many do you remember ?

Yup. Julia Foster, absolutely stunning as the bride, is Ben Fogle's mum ???? -

Got our bill today ???? 120kwh => 563.41 Baht ???? -
Chinese New Year will bring a surge of tourists to Thailand
Crossy replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Was this the right thread? -
OK, I'd probably be putting the South facing panels as one string on one MPPT and the other two as two parallel strings on the other MPPT. That would probably give the best bang per buck. How many panels on each direction are you looking at? Also, be aware that whilst the Huawei inverters are "battery ready" they use a specific HV battery which are only available from Huawei and are $$$. @Thaifish has found this to his cost ???? I would be looking at inverters that use a standard 48V pack, even if you don't intend going hybrid right now.
-
Yeah ^^^, what's the reasoning behind the multiple directions? How many MPPT inputs will your proposed inverter have?

I was walking home and saw my mother-in-law being beaten up by six people. Did you help? No. Six would be enough Les Dawson.

Our automatic no-export switch design is free to use ???? -
So, the plonk was potentially younger than this thread ???? We still miss the stuff we got from the cash-and-carry in Brussels. It was called Le Bolleaux (it really was The Dogs) French vin-de-table, 4.50 euros for 3 bottles!

What's the limit on usage for 5/15 meters to get 0 Baht? It might be cost effective to bang up a couple of panels for the family to get them into the "free zone". -
Ah, I just gloop it on like toothpaste and spread it by wrigging the bus-bar ???? You really need a tiny amount, I'm sure the instructions will tell you, but I'm an engineer, instructions are for wooses!
-
Yup. I don't bother with "cleaning" other than a wipe with a paper towel, we're not really removing much material. But, it's entirely up2u.

400 grit abrasive paper of whatever flavour you can get (glasspaper, emery, carborundum or whatever) will shift the oxide layer. Clean the mating faces then assemble, using the gloop or not as you feel. No point using alcohol unless you have grease on there.

This going to hurt a lot of low income families ???? Is there any further low-usage concession available? -
Yeah, I've been reading that too. Most of it is related to how the NEC specifies the required bonding to be "to code" (the NEC is highly prescriptive). If we just let the inverter do its thing and don't wave extra bonds around it should all work just fine.

I would avoid mixing grounding systems with the inverters and distribution board in close proximity. The risk of getting your body between two different earthing systems which may not be at the same potential is small but definitely non-zero. If you intend running mostly off-grid then you could go with a local ground rod for the house and inverters and completely isolate from any grid provided "earth" (which is actually the incoming neutral from the grid). Have no links between the incoming neutral and any of your earths. You will need to provide a N-E link from your inverter (check the inverter manual it may provide one for you) to ensure that your RCBOs operate correctly when off-grid. When operating on-grid do not link N and E so your grounds are still not connected to any grid stuff, just have L & N going to your transfer switch (so you have a TT system, perfectly legal in Thailand). You should discuss this with your sparks (whose head will likely explode).

Sadly, no access for mechanical removal methods other than a baby Kubota excavator ???? It's going to be hire some labour to dig out or put a raised bed in. I might try the potassium nitrate followed by diesel and a match on the one that's a bit further from the house.
-
We have a Hafele gas hob and hood. Hob has been fine for 10 years, just needing an occasional clean of the jets (accessible from the top). The hood stopped a couple of years back. Turned out to be a fried transformer, got a suitable replacement on Lazada. It took longer to get the ruddy thing apart / re-assemble than the actual fix.
-
Madam has taken down a couple of trees that didn't survive the floods, so now Muggins here has to remove the stumps ???? They are too close to the house to use the Anfo technique illustrated here: - Any ideas on the best / least effort removal technique?? I may just build a couple of raised beds and put some flowers in.

When I was in Singapore recently, I asked a Chinese girl at a travel agency if she would escort me on a city tour. I asked for her mobile number, so I could call her to make arrangements. She got very excited and said, "Sex sex sex, wan free sex for tonigh". I thought wow, this must be how Chinese women express their hospitality! Then my friend explained. What she really said was 666136429
