  1. I assume these are the ones in this thread, any indication of sexes?
  2. No fuses, the DC MCBs should do the trick, in reality they are there to allow you to turn off the string. The panels are self-limiting at the ISC of 10A or so. MOVs need to be rated for "a bit more" than the maximum string voltage, the 1kV DC ones were what was available. The inverters have their own internal protection but it does no harm to give it a bit of help. The runs to the panels are short, only a few metres but the AC run is 40m so I put protection on everything. The steelwork is also solidly grounded.
  3. Ouch, good job you were there. The water force is easily enough to dislodge those concrete covers. When we were in India my Indian friends warned us never to cross a flooded road, the holes under those covers were a lot more than waist deep, fall in and you'd never be seen again.
  4. How many lights in the string? Go to the middle one and disconnect the wires, hopefully there will be 4, 2 in and 2 out to the next light. Insulate the ends. Test. If it doesn't trip you know the problem is in the second bit, if it does you know the problem is in the first bit. You can then split the faulty section in half in the same way. For obvious reasons, it's called the "Half-split" method ????
  5. Probably not unless it's a dead short, you need an insulation tester, the Mk-1 eyeball is the best starting point.
  6. Here we go. Cheap DIN rail consumer unit from MegaHome, 30A AC MCB same place. DC MCBs, DC MOVs and AC MOVs from Lazada. Do NOT try to save a few $$$ by using normal MCBs on the DC, conflagration may result if one opens when the panels are active. This is for two strings (inverter has 2 MPPT inputs) so you could lose one DC MCB and a pair of DC MOVs.
  7. Didn't pay any. There's a thread somewhere on it. One of several companies doing it https://www.evereastlogistics.com/product_23128_SpeciallinetoSingaporeMalaysiaThailand.html Special line to Singapore/ Malaysia/Thailand Special line Special line express service to Vietnam/Singapore/Malaysia/Thailand from China -Good price -Door to door service, clearance at both ends, Duty free -Seasoned staffs with good service -High efficiency
  8. Yeah ^^^, I'd start by looking for the usual suspects, wildlife or water, in the fittings or any junction boxes. Just hope there's not a taped joint underground somewhere.
  9. When the rain stops I'll post a photo of ours ???? It could be a while.
  10. It was a while back but you are probably right, still saved the 7% VAT ????
  11. I have the .apk if anyone wants it please PM me.
  12. It's happened to me a few times (or it's just forgotten my bill details), just re-enter the original data you used and everything will should might come back. Note that my version doesn't do passport numbers only Thai ID numbers.
  13. I thought the idea was pretty much dead now with better / faster WiFi, it was never wonderful (totally useless here). I have one somewhere, wouldn't even work well down an extension lead ????
  14. Yes, I messaged them on their Line address they sent and a nice lady took about 60 seconds to verify it was me on video chat. Got the "KYC completed, do not used this chat for normal contact" message. Hopefully it will continue to work.
  15. Customs HS Code 8708.99.0000 "Parts And Accessories Of Motor Vehicles" will net you 30% duty plus 7% VAT on the CIF value ???? https://www.simplyduty.com/import-calculator/ You could ask the seller if they can do "Thailand Special Line" which is a China-Thailand bulk shipping system which somehow makes for zero payment at this end. I was offered it for a solar inverter, cost the same as FedEx but no duty or VAT to pay.
  16. Now, where did we store those tracking devices?
  17. It's all set up and waiting ???? There's only 80 Baht in the wallet so no great loss if they do shut me down, but it's a handy app for paying in the Seven.
  18. Thanks I'll try that, their email definitely says they will contact you, but they haven't yet.
  19. I've got the QR and added them as a friend, are you supposed to call them or do they call you? I've been waiting for an appointment time for 4 days (they say 3 business days) ????
  20. It didn't, seller didn't ship, Lazada cancelled and refunded. New one (slightly more expensive) on order and has shipped. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/i2018040947-s6508042103.html
  21. Just got Az dose 2 at Bang Sue Grand. I originally got a 16 week appointment from Siriraj, they were no help when checking if a new appointment at 12 weeks was available. Eventually my step-son sorted a new time and place using the Mor-Prompt App (I couldn't even log on) which is actually at 11.5 weeks, I'll take that. He also sorted one for a mate who I met at Siriraj, who interestingly got a text with a new date yesterday, he came to Bang Sue ???? Very well organised with lots of English speaking staff. No queue at 10.15 (early for 11.00 appointment), straight in, follow the big numbered signs. Even live music in the "wait to see if your arm falls off" area. Out by 11.05, hardest part was finding the way back to the MRT station ????
  22. Not exactly breaking news but it's worth noting for those who have their solar battery packs inside their homes. A Tesla Megapack part of a giant battery project in Victoria, Australia, has caught on fire – creating a blaze that’s almost impossible to control. The cause of the fire is currently unknown.
