  1. 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/
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Friends still at my ex-employer have confirmed that this is not one of their new maintenance workers
  5. Divide and conquer!! 🙂 You are half way there!
  6. What's the make and model of your genset? Hopefully we can find proper details on 'tinternet 🙂
  7. 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.
  8. 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)?
  9. Just don't tell the president of any multi-national construction companies
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. @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.
  13. 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?
  14. I've not actually done any measurements of consumption but: - Our double gates have 2 x 300W actuators (we have heavy swing gates). A full open the close cycle takes about 60 seconds (30 each way) - this I did measure. So, one open close cycle uses up to 2 x 300 x 60/3600 watt hours. About 10 Watt hours or 0.010kWh At 5 Baht a unit that's about 0.05 Baht per open/close cycle. So, to achieve 1000 Baht per month that would need the gates to operate about 666 times per day!! There are only 1,440 minutes per day, if they need to operate that often you might as well leave them open. ** This assumes I've done my sums correctly of course. No warranty implied or inferred. ** I'm also assuming that the idle power of the controller is negligeable compared with the operating power of the gate actuators.
  15. Sounds like a dry bearing to me. Still under warranty??
