  1. Waterlogged pressure tank. Check the web for how to drain your particular unit.
  2. A post breaking Aseannow Community Guidelines (and responses) have been removed.
  3. Numbers for July. The small PEA use is from when I turned on the mains breaker to make the meter move a bit 🙂
  4. TiT I'm afraid for the voltage difference. They would alter the tap setting on the Tx but that might cause other issues if, say, a currently dormant factory came back to life. It's not really a difficult task but ...
  5. My understanding is that PEA is nominally 220V P-N and MEA is 230V P-N, both +-10%. I wouldn't worry too much about the imbalance for your 3-phase kit although induction motors do run with a poorer Power Factor when run at higher voltage than nominal.
  6. How big are your A/C units (BTU) and your water heater (kW)? To be clear it's the big blue breaker on the left that's tripping not the red one? If this is the case, and this being a 63A breaker, initially I'd be tending to think it's a faulty breaker tripping early.
  7. Could you post a photo of the distribution board with the lid off (care please)? We need to see what you have.
  8. Apparently Stella Egyptian lager is so strong that one should not attempt to sing karaoke or drive after consuming.
  9. I saw this store in the Mall of Arabia in Cairo ...
  10. Some years back a mate in the UK had a problem with a cat s**tting in his garden. Another mate suggested a laser pointer. One was obtained (a legal, low powered red one). Of course the moggie in question wasn't available for testing, but there was a different cat relaxing on the windowsill across the road. I think we can see where this is going Careful aim was taken. The weapon was energised! The cat literally went straight up like a Harrier jump-jet and wasn't seen for several days! I think from this experiment we can conclude that laser pointers are indeed effective against errant pussies.
  11. Interesting, that certainly looks like the same unit. 200mW is likely more than enough oomph to be honest.
  12. Now you have your Roundtuit you need a Sticktuit to go with it 🙂
  13. Call it a "proof of concept"
  14. Provided your wires are about the same size and the total doesn't exceed the terminal size limit doubling up isn't too bad, it's done all the time in the UK for ring finals. You could get double entry ferrules and crimp both wires in there then into the terminal.
  15. For your current sensing have a look at these https://www.lazada.co.th/products/m3050-m3056-ac-current-detection-alarm-03a-30-v50-v-current-sensing-switch-i5132554704-s21673895200.html? You'll need a contactor to control the car charger.
  16. And the number of straws 🙂
  17. Meanwhile, this is NOT AI generated. It's a worryingly accurate vision of the future from a 1930s magazine! The full set are here https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/futuristic-visions-cards-germany/
  18. Is AI lulling us into a false sense of security by letting us do fun things until we really love it. Then comes the surprise Skynet attack!! Five minutes with chatGPT free! Punch and Judy go to the beach. Becomes I'll be back!
  19. Actually it is nm, NM is a Newton Mega which doesn't make sense. Does this count as a grammar-police post and I will have to delete it?
  20. And, and, and ... Tell me about it, the list is getting longer whilst I'm stuck here in sunny (and dusty) Egypt earning the $$$ to pay for the jobs. EDIT - Please do not fall off the roof!!
  21. Why not just buy a Schuko outlet and install a local ground rod? 99.9% of EVSE units need a ground to work, it's a safety thing.
