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. Do You Want VLC to Restart or Continue the Playback Where ...

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 ????

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.
