OK, I don't know the Deye but I have a few observations. 265V as the upper limit is 240V +10% roughly, it's doing no harm there but you could reduce it if you like. 185V as the lower limit seems a bit high, particularly if you are seeing under-volt errors. Try dropping it to 180V. You may also want to extend the trip times for the under-voltage levels, say 5 seconds. Make the frequency +-0.5Hz. And give the frequency errors longer too. Does the inverter have a "country" setting?

Most offices allow you to submit up to 30 days in advance, we usually go about 3 weeks early in case they come up with some new requirement. Once they have done their stuff at the office you get a 30 day "under consideration" stamp. During those 30 days you may or may not get a visit from the immigration chaps (depends upon the office, our office wants a visit every year). Verify with your office exactly what they need by way of documentation.

Pretty well everything Electronic now has some form of inlet filtering which will leak to earth if an earth is present. Your 2-wire lappie power supplies, LED lamps, wall-warts etc. are designed not to need a functional earth, but inverter A/C, washing machines and of course desktop PCs being Class-1 (metal cased) and requiring a safety earth make use of the better 3-wire filters. All will give you a nip if you "forget" the earth.

I wonder who will take possession of the villa contents. From another story on the subject: - Oh, and an Off Topic post has been removed.

Of course, my dodgy mind immediately thought of the delightful Michelle Krusiec in Travellers Germany. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Krusiec

I never had an issue getting covid jabs (Bangkok), staff at Bang Sue "seemed" happy to see a farang and assisted getting everything sorted. Took Madam for her annual flu jab, staff asked if I wanted one too (without prompting), so I'm now on the regular mailing list.

Snuck into the edit window 🙂

@bob smith want the options adding?? I think mods can 🙂

Probably posted the fact here

One friend complained to another, “All my husband and I do anymore is fight. I’ve been so upset; I’ve lost 20 pounds.” “If it’s that bad, why don’t you just leave him?” asked the second friend. “I still have 15 pounds to lose!”

Yeah ^^^, my thoughts exactly 😞 Have a word with your local bike-taxi chaps, many if not all can drive a car and will be more than happy for some sort of semi-regular work. You may even be able to put together an on-call "team" who can assist on an as-and-when basis. I would imagine some sort of "retainer" payment would be required. Any neighbours who seem to be home all day?

PC power supplies, moreso those from brand names, are very safe, I don't recall ever seeing one fail in a way that would be actually hazardous, of course that doesn't mean it's never happened. IMHO the risks of an unskilled person opening up the mains section of a PC far outweigh the possibility of an actual internal fault. On an Apple product is it even possible to open the power supply?

I'm not sure if anyone has suggested this, but since you have a 2-pin plug in the wall try just reversing it in the outlet.

And this chap recommends that you don't 🙂 Have you managed to locate anything that could serve as a make-shift ground?

OK, let's say that the balance of probability is that it's just leakage via the mains filter. What is YOUR solution??

Do you? How is my posting here any different to yours? And yes, my WP covers my activities at my current location.

In this case we do know the leakage path, it's the mains inlet filter that keeps the nasties from the switching power supply from getting into the wide world, hence the usage of the term "functional earth" it's needed for the device function correctly rather than safety.

The amount of leakage concerned here would be way too small to operate an RCD/RCBO although having one would enhance the general safety of the electrics.

@george Your PC needs a "functional earth". Any way to get a connection to the "earth", a short rod in a flower bed outside the window? A metal water pipe or balcony railing? It doesn't need to be a very good earth. Otherwise just keep your Crocs on 🙂

@Thaifish despite having an application in for an export meter got caught spinning his existing disc-meter backwards. Got a no-reverse meter.

Uganda apparently has three lighthouses 🙂 https://www.ibiblio.org/lighthouse/uga.htm
