Not all electrical cable brands are what they seem?
Crossy replied to firewight's topic in The Electrical Forum
That works. Check if you need to go larger on conduit because of the cable sheath. -

Crossy replied to firewight's topic in The Electrical Forum
Hardly a world of experience, but one tries to assist 🙂 I would stick to: - =<2.5mm2 - solid conductor 4mm2 - solid or stranded (7 strands) >=6mm2 - stranded (7 strands) THW if running in conduit or VAF-G if not. Most sizes of THW are available as THW(f) which has many fine strands and is much less of a wrestle to get the larger sizes into your conduit. However, care is needed when terminating and, dependent upon the type of terminal you are connecting to, you may need to use crimp-ferrules to avoid cutting the strands. -

Long ago when I worked on RN ship systems ALL wires were pink! -
PEA not giving out separate TOU meters for EV owners now?
Crossy replied to digbeth's topic in The Electrical Forum
I've made a slight adjustment to the topic title for clarity. Yeah, I've heard similar reports, it's a shame but such is life 😞 I've also heard (not officially confirmed) that you can only get a TOU meter if you have an EV or solar. When we get an EV I'll switch everything over to TOU, we are 99% off-grid now anyway. Who needs PEA? -

A somewhat extreme example, both these cables are "35mm2", neither is over-size! Rubber insulation is cheaper than copper! -

Is it safe to wear a Rolex around Bangkok??

Two tone gold or regular Bob? -

Trying to keep somewhat on track. I'm with the "everyone will think it's a fake" crowd, although the Wimbledon edition looks rather different to a regular Datejust. So, if you see anyone with one of these it may just be real. -

I have certainly come across undersize cable on sale, even from the big box outlets. The problem is going to be legality. Due to Thailand's draconian defamation and libel laws, we can't permit members to say on the open forum "XXX brand is not good, it's undersize and poor copper". From the forum rules https://aseannow.com/forum_rules/ Of course, it's perfectly ok to post that "I've used YYY cable and found them to be good." -

How about a solar car port on a budget?
Crossy replied to Crossy's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Sunday wasn't a terrible day for generation making about 55.8kWh of which we used 23.8kWh as self-consumption during the day. We got 32kWh back into the batteries during the day. Of course, we promptly vacuumed 22.4kWh out of the pack overnight leaving us with a net charge gain of about 9.6kWh when we started generation on Monday morning. We survived an off-grid weekend! Let's see if we manage the week, I'll be WFH so the office A/C will be running. -

Why not simply divide the total cost by the number of units used, that will give you an average price per unit. There isn't a fixed price per unit as the pricing is on a sliding scale, the more you use, the greater is the cost per unit so the simple maths will give you an average. If you post the whole bill (redact any identifying details) and we will be able to see what's what 🙂

MAINS/SOLAR hybrid airconditioners
Crossy replied to wozzlegummich's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
There are a few on Lazada. We just run our inverter aircons off the AC from our solar. -
Moved to The Pub! I'm the exact opposite to our OP, I'd rather have the screw-top I find that the flip-top thingies get glooped up and then won't close properly thus requiring disassembly and maintenance using warm water and a toothbrush to remove the hardened product. Of course this wastes some of the costly product.

We swallowed 37kWh from the batteries overnight, Saturday wasn't a very good day for production either. Batteries are currently reading 55% which fits reasonably well with the capacity of 75kWh 🙂 Spot what time the family arrived 🙂 -

OK, I'll find it thanks. By the way Bangkok Post is now a permitted source 🙂 https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/general/2813459/fraud-raid-seizes-58-satellite-devices From Gemini AI
