Isn't half the fun talking to evil ghosts or demons?

Sounds good, how about some photos? One note, NMC batteries are in the same family as the Li-ion packs used in many scooters / hoverboards and the like. These can suffer from thermal-runaway unlike the more expensive LiFePO4 packs. Properly installed with a decent BMS and not over-stressing the pack they are safe, but smoke detectors would be wise (to be honest, they are wise anyway). I don't know where yours are installed but I wouldn't put any battery pack in a living area not even LiFePO4 or lead-acid, there's a lot of energy in there just aching to escape.

Unfortunately, the "proper kit" 'aint cheap https://www.lazada.co.th//products/i1590628701-s9904969029.html

That would have been Mr (Fray Bentos) Bentley. Much depends upon your inverter, hence my comment to read the manual. A modern solar inverter will be happy to have the neutral earthed, older inverters may not be so happy and certainly a UPS shouldn't have random earths scattered around. Anyway, to the current issue. You need to isolate each individual component to verify that the tripping goes away, of course this will be easier said than done if the tripping is random. Try feeding just the pump from an extension from another outlet, do things trip? Continue similarly until the tripping stops and suspect whatever you disconnected last. Without the correct test gear, it's not going to be easy

I'm 100% sure it was, but since there was already a chemical engineering discussion ... Anyway, let's leave it for now shall we and worry about how to warm up the H2O with or without the CaCO3

And at this point ...

CaCo3 ? I don't think Calcium (Ca) and Cobalt (Co) can form that compound and be stable; closest I know of is CaCoN2 - Calcium Cobalt Nitride Fetching my coat! But we are WAY off topic, let's leave the chemistry lesson for the Teaching forum

I'd probably use an SSR to extend the life of the AC-rated thermostat (or even just bypass it completely), but electrical direct-coupling is definitely a viable method.

"Oil" drums should be readily available for fairly nominal sums, our last one used to contain orange-juice. We use a mulcher for smaller stuff which encourages composting but your woody bits need to be well mixed with lawn mowings and the like. The bigger stuff gets sliced with the chainsaw and converted into kindling to get the barbie going.

Prompted by another thread which got a bit off track I thought we could continue here. So, what are you doing? As a starter there are a number of options to think about: - Direct heating of water with the sun. Could be anything from a simple coil of black pipe to an expensive vacuum-tube system. Electrical heating of the water powered by solar. Directly coupled to panels, use an inverter, use as an energy dump etc. etc. Something else Bio-gas from your chooks or pigs??

Guys, we really have moved off-topic here. But I suggest a new thread in Alternative Energy may be useful, we've not had a decent water-heating thread for a while. Let's continue here: -

Yeah, we had a near-miss back in June. https://aseannow.com/topic/1120934-how-about-a-solar-car-port-on-a-budget/?do=findComment&comment=18151424 No phone calls but Madam did speak to "a man" on or near meter day (not the meter reader) who asked if she wanted an electronic meter because ours was "very old", she played dumb and said she was the maid. Nothing more heard. Apart from new installations, nobody in the village has got an electronic meter, long may it remain like that

I can't make any leasing recommendations, but it might be worth you actually buying a car, used vehicles hold their value much better than they do in the West. With the BTS, Red and Purple lines all operating in that direction, is public transport an option if it's just for your commute?

It took me longer than I'm willing to admit!!! Must be an age thing

Our amphur charges 2 Baht!! Is it even worth them collecting it I wonder? Local Immigration wants a new one every year which I get the same week as we attend the office. They also do a home visit every year, same lads each time, so at least they can't get lost.

Do you mean the actual technical workings of the electronics? OR Are you confused by the available displays?

@Batty what is your aim? To just protect your PC and shut down safely, or keep running/working for a period of time (minutes, hours, days)? Different requirements mean different animals.

They usually turn up on the next bill (unless the refund was close to the billing time). Oddly, they don't appear online until the actual billing time (but the transactions then appear in the "right" place on the statement). I'd give it until your next billing cycle, but look for the transaction against the actual refund date.

Yup driving millstones. The amazing thing is that they're still operating and in use.

These amazing windmills are among the oldest in the world. Located in the Iranian town of Nashtifan, initially named Nish Toofan, or "storm's sting," the windmills have withstood winds of up to 74 miles an hour. With the design thought to have been created in eastern Persia between 500-900 A.D., they have been in use for several centuries.
