I'm assuming that the house will have a properly configured consumer unit (per my diagram) and that breaker will actually become a site-isolator. But why not ???? As noted earlier adding a 500 Baht RCBO to the outlets would actually make them safe. Then, enter the Thai builders!

This was our temporary supply. The Chang switch (in the custom weatherproof housing) did actually have fuses but they popped when the welder was fired up. The replacement 2.5mm2 "fuse wire" was never troubled during the rest of the build ????

For a temporary job a bit of the same stuff that goes breaker => outlets, add some green tape if you like. If the builders actually have a lead with a plug on the end you'll be lucky, I bet they just wire straight into the breaker, hopefully on the switched side

SK Universal should have everything you need https://www.sk-wires.com/ they used to have an excellent English speaker k. Bell. Whole rolls only I'm afraid.

Yup, it's a real product https://soylent.com/products/soylent-drink-mint-chocolate-1

Get a rod at any DIY place. Black is the favourite colour for cable of any sex, tape or (preferably) heatshrink of the relevant shade is your friend. The link from the isolator to the outlet really matters not, it's temporary and will be gone once the house is built.

The third pin of the outlets that's not currently connected.

For your construction supply I would simply run a wire from the ground pins of the outlet to a rod next to the pole, the word "safe" never applies on a Thai construction site. You can bet the contractor won't have any kit with 3-pin plugs anyway. When you do your final installation I'd be tempted to retain that box and breaker as a site-isolator.

This is how you must do it to pass a PEA/MEA inspection (my translations). Note the routing of the incoming neutral via the ground bar. Originally from this PEA document Groundwire Mk2 book-Manual.pdf

VLC is usually pretty bomb-proof, I was going to suggest it ???? Also- Do You Want VLC to Restart or Continue the Playback Where Left Off? Go to Tools > Preferences [CTRL + P] On the default Interface tab, there's an option called Continue playback? Choose between Never, Ask, Always; the three options. Hit Save to keep the setting.

My youngest actually had this. He was in the RN servicing rotary-wing aircraft (helicopters) for the Royal Marines. Before shipping out to Afghanistan they collected their gear which included camo (of course) plus a Hi-viz. The RN argument was that the camo was so the enemy couldn't see you, the hi-viz was so the helicopter pilot could! There was considerable reticence to wander around a large flat airfield in Helmand Province wearing a large, green X front and back (shoot here!). He did actually get shot although his mates said it didn't count as his body armour stopped the round without actually injuring anything other than his pride

Which media player are you using?? All drivers up to date? Have you tried with other external media a USB thumb drive for example?

Wow, that is very cheap. Tomzn stuff is generally very good, I wonder if it's real. I think Tomzn have an official Lazada store, have a look there for the same item.

There may be cheaper ones than the BtiCino ones, also note that the Bti ones have a "functional earth" lead, it's supposed to help discriminate when you have a N-E fault.

No just use DIN mount RCBOs ???? Single width (same as an MCB) ones are available if you hunt them out. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/bticino-g8613ac20-rcbo-20-din-i2762765443-s10038793508.html

Yeah, definitely try the "friendly" route first. Angry neighbours are definitely not what you want. At least nobody will be climbing in from the second side ????

You need to get all the old paint and mould off. A decent pressure washer will be your friend. I see @transam beat me to it by milliseconds.

Yup, no problem going to individual RCBOs on those "risky" circuits. The hardest bit in an older house will be ensuring the relevant neutrals go to the correct RCBO, get it wrong and it won't stay "on".

I think the switch is "bypass" or something similar so "off" is correct (bypass is off). Of course, everyone assumes that it means detection on/off in the absence of a label!

Yeah, being a Brit I do of course agree ???? Malaysia, Singapore and HongKong also use the BS1363 plug. The European Shuko is pretty good and the French version is also polarised, it's also rated at a (conservative) 16A for those meaty appliances. A Dutch friend operates this interesting site https://www.plugsocketmuseum.nl/Overview.html

Yeah, made by Haco but one is UK standard the other is a Schuko (German) trailing socket ????

Could well be. I had to hunt for an appliance with a straight TIS166 plug, turned out to be the small rice-cooker, relatively low power. Everything else has right angle plugs, dryer, washer, kettle etc.

Yeah, I suspect it was an afterthought, not very thick at all. I've been awfully spoiled by the UK (and nearly as good Schuko) plug, infinitely safe except that they lie on their back if left on the floor. You will remember standing on one Hopefully Haco are going to come up with a revised P001 and P002 that meet the standard.

Aussie plug has sleeved pins ????
