I have some GetSun Carb Cleaner (came from Lazada) which is most effective as an EasyStart substitute when the mower is in a bad mood. I swap out the genset fuel every 6 months or so and use it in the mower and strimmers.

Thanks for that, shame that they poke out of the wall, I like my leads to hang down ???? Are the terminals inside as awful as the US standard ones? I may order a couple to check out. EDIT I also note these don't have the sleeved pins which are part of the TIS standard ???? Standard is here https://service.tisi.go.th/fulltext/TIS-166-2549p.pdf

N or E at the top means that if something metallic (knife) gets dropped down behind a partly withdrawn plug then it will hit the N or E first and (hopefully) avoid shocking anyone. Of course if we could get re-wireable TIS 166-2549 plugs (which have sleeved pins) with cable outlets that allow more than one to go in a double outlet that would be fantastic. I agree, a standard positioning of the outlet would be nice to have.

Looks like they are discontinued ???? P001 and P002 seem to have been removed from the Haco website (although the search never really was very good, so i might have missed). Also, the few sellers who have them listed on Lazada are nil stock ???? It's a shame because they allow the cable to hang vertically down the wall when the outlet is positioned in the (slightly safer) orientation with the N at the top.

+1 on thaiartisanfoods.com although we get our sausage casings (hog) from Makro.

Yes, it's real https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/sp-smc#2bdb26a9

Definitely worth checking again for leaks. Is the tank full / refilling ok? Your regular re-start could also be a leaky check-valve on the inlet side, you can sometimes hear them gurgling when the pump is off. Your overheating could also be a bad capacitor, they're cheap and easy to replace so swapping it out wouldn't hurt.

Argh!!! ^^^ Our wiring is all in the plastic boxes except for behind outlets and switches where the regular metal back-boxes are used. In the dark (no UV) they will last forever and no sharp edges to injure your wires (and no possibility of a short if it should get hurt)

Yeah ^^^. Hob/cooktop on it's own circuit, give the oven it's own circuit too if it's built-in otherwise it can go on a regular outlet, at least two other circuits for outlets plus one or two outlets that are not on RCD/RCBO for your fridge and freezer. All outlet circuits in 2.5mm2 on 20A breakers, no UK style rings please, radials only.

Brits of a certain age will understand

Mobiles are zero duty plus 7% VAT on the CIF value. The killer is going to be the potential requirement for an import licence for radio kit.

Converting to dual-bus isn't difficult but some action with a hacksaw is needed ???? Actually plastic isn't illegal in the UK but the box must be "fire resistant" which the manufacturers are interpreting as "metal". In reality I (and many others) still prefer plastic, less hazard if something comes loose and flaps around inside. For your incomer, what size meter do you have? On a 15/45 a 63A incomer is common but in the past you could get away with pretty much anything. I believe @BritManToo has at least one Nano box, perhaps he could comment on the quality.

If you order one and decide the quality is off you can return it easily ("Change of Mind" is acceptable).

Yeah, whilst the inverter is unlikely to actually be able to trip an MCB it will protect itself electronically (hopefully), I'd replace that front MCB with a 20A/30mA RCBO.

Friday (today) is Royal Ploughing Ceremony, not a holiday for most ???? Sunday is Visakha Bucha hence the alcohol ban, it would be a holiday so a day off in lieu on Monday ????

No, the unit you have is "plug-in" which limits you to Schneider/Square-D parts although a couple of other manufacturers also do similar units which fit. The big plus for amny is that they are a piece of cake to wire up. DIN units have a "universal" mounting rail which can accept all kinds of useful accessories, they are however a bit more complex to wire up.

It may even be cheaper to go over to the states and collect the beast. The airport staff don't bother with trivial things like phones provided they are "used" (so leave to box at home). Also, be sure it will actually work on the GSM/3G/4G/5G bands in use here.

@Pouatchee what does your lease actually say?? Was it even renewed?

Yeah, the ubiquitous Safe-T-Cut, I think they're a bit more than 2 Grand now ????

I would be wary of actually grounding the inverter output neutral unless the manufacturer says it's OK. Waving random earths around transformerless inverters can be hazardous to their health. Time to talk to Support, you may be lucky. To ground the N or not is the subject of many debates on inverters/gensets. Generally for low-power stuff people tend not to bother despite it being against the regs in many locations. If you ground nothing other than the metalwork you have an IT system which is actually "2 faults to danger", adding an RCD/RCBO to your second box would detect the second fault (the inverter may even detect the first fault). This is what I would do and is how we are set up.

It turns out the word should be "celebrate"
