  1. Just remember that to assume makes an ass out of u and me We have our bedroom A/C set to 26C, 24C and I start to feel cold (Madam would already be rolled up in the duvet). For a working environment I have my office at about 24C, but for normal operations like now I'm just sat in the ambient air, in the shade with a fan. And no, the sweat isn't pouring off me and trying to emulate your windows.
  2. My Bold Here's your problem. Cold glass is going to cause condensation to form. How to fix? Double-glazing (possibly secondary glazing just on windows most critical). Get rid of your pet Polar Bear and run the A/C rather less chilly. EDIT The following is advice to stop condensation on your bathroom mirror, could work for the windows. Take a bit of shaving cream on your finger and spread it over the surface of your bathroom mirror. (You can spray shaving foam directly onto the mirror surface). Wipe clean with a soft towel or microfiber cloth. This simple trick acts as an effective barrier against steam settling on the mirror surface.
  3. Even in The Pub personal attacks are not permitted (try it in a Glasgow boozer), some posts have wandered into the abyss! Let's keep it friendly and on-topic.
  4. It left a mark not unlike that used for checking that your rams were doing their job!! First seen by me in an episode of Out of Town with Jack Hargreaves - now being repeated on UK TV I believe. https://www.premier1supplies.com/sheep-guide/2012/10/breeding-tools-for-better-management/
  5. The images you have posted are of three different breakers. First lot (purple) are 2-pole 20A MCBs. Second lot are single-pole 32A MCBs. Third lot are 63A x 30mA RCBOs. Each has a different purpose. You probably need an electrician to design your system.
  6. Yup, on December 8, 2021, the Thong Pha Phum Provincial Court sentenced Premchai to two years and 21 months in prison without suspension, he was released on 17th October 2023.
  7. Friends still at my ex-employer have confirmed that this is not one of their new maintenance workers
  8. Divide and conquer!! 🙂 You are half way there!
  9. What's the make and model of your genset? Hopefully we can find proper details on 'tinternet 🙂
  10. Not one I've come across, got to be a low-ish cost Chinese beastie. We went with ABB as a known (but not cheap) brand. You'll have to rely on the "look and feel" I'm afraid.
  11. Literally yesterday, I went to our local SS office to discuss continuing to pay in so I can maintain access to the SS health system. I'll post a proper story in its own thread but this was what they told me: - I can take a lump sum OR take a monthly pension. BUT If I take the monthly pension, I can NOT continue paying into the SS health system. I took the lump sum, as being able to continue getting at least some healthcare as I get older and premium healthcare insurance becomes unaffordable is important to me. Do note that, like immigration, different SS offices seem to have different interpretations of the rules, so it's best to go to your local office and discuss. Also, it's worth noting that our office requires you to have a pink ID and yellow tabien-baan before they will do anything (what was that about different rules)?
  12. Just don't tell the president of any multi-national construction companies
  13. Connecting the suspension wire to the rod would likely stop you getting a tingle. BUT It may also cause your RCD (ELCB is an old term and is now reserved for a specific type of device) to constantly trip. You really need your pump looking at.
  14. This is only true if you are exporting the TNC-S(MEN) ground. I suspect that our OP may have his pump on a "TT island" with a 2-core cable (possibly 3-core if the pump capacitor is in the control box) and a local rod. Whilst I understand this is not permitted under Aus regs, we are not in Aus. TT islands are common practice for outbuildings in the UK and, provided they are protected by an RCD/RCBO at the source, are deemed safe. @PJHassselt Is the pump suspension wire also connected to the local rod? As to why you are getting the electrical leakage. It could be a weepy cable seal at the pump or maybe a joint in the cable down the hole. Either of which will require the pump to be pulled and the attention of the brand service centre sought.
  15. @advancebooking if you post some photos of what you have we could suggest how to make it safe. Thai "temporary" power is rarely safe in the Western sense of the word.
  16. It would not be safe!!! Go and buy a roll of 1.5mm2 flexible cable and put a plug on one end and a traily outlet on the other. Make a loooong extension cord. Supporting the cable off the ground out of the wet would be a smart move. Plug/socket joins are not intended to be out in the weather unless specifically designed for it. How long would this temporary arrangement be in use for?
