Can you post a photo of the board with the lid off so we can see what mountings the breakers use.
You should be able to get branded (ABB or Schneider) units that slot right in.
Ah ok you mean just replace the breakers not the entire board?
I am away for a few weeks and their is nobody there that knows how to take or send photos on a phone [emoji13][emoji13]
I will see if they can get some kids in to take a photo [emoji23]
Is it normal for two breakers connected to two different showers to both fail while everything else is fine?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Hmmm, I admit that I hadn't listened to the audio previously (I thought the video was just to show what you had, my bad).
Does it do that when either shower is operating or just one in particular? How about with both on?
Certainly an "interesting" sound and if it were mine I would be replacing it even if it's not overheating or smelling.
I'd like a second opinion, anyone else want to comment?
It does it when either shower is on and when both are on but not with anything else. All other heavy load items like aircon or microwave etc have no issues.
The showers are connected separately so I got no idea what's going on really [emoji848]
When you say replace, do you mean the entire board ?

If it's an old breaker it may be worth replacing it. Not long after we moved into a secondhand townhouse our breaker blew and caught fire. Fortunately, we were close to it at that time and could extinguish it. I can't imagine if it happened at night time when we were asleep.
It's only 18 months old

If it was Schneider or ABB (or even Safe-T-Cut) I would agree, but a relative no-name Chinese (or Thai) unit ...
I assume it's a buzz as opposed to a fizz, fizzing would indicate something breaking down (and liberate lots of heat and "electrical" smells).
With everything electrical here it's worth going with well known names, even the Chinese Tomzn or Chint are respected and known names.
[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
Fair point
I sent a video of the noise above can you tell if it's a fizz or a buzz ?

A good chance its the insulation within the breaker that is deteriorating, the same issue on street circuit breakers, you hear them buzzing and then eventually bang, and they are replaced. A consequence of cheap made parts!
Just buy a new one, not much to buy!
Is that likely after only 18 months?
It wasn't a cheap unit

I would recommend Together Construction Thailand I will drop you a pm with details. They built my home and a friends swimming pool and did a brilliant job on both.

Assuming the shower is less than 4.5kW it will be fine on 2.5mm2 cable it should really have a 20A breaker. I'll bet it's on a 32A but if the shower is the only load that's not a major safety issue.
If all the connections are good, nothing is getting hot, no smells and the breaker operates on the "Test" button I wouldn't worry about it.
Unless it's really annoyingly loud in which case I suspect a replacement is going to be the solution.
As far as I know it's 4500 watt. It's a Steibel Eltron. I will check out the wattage when I am back during the week but is 4500 ok on 2.5 or is it borderline? Also what if both showers are running at the same time?
Cheers guys.

So it turns out that he has 2.5 cable for the showers. He was told that is fully acceptable by two different "electricians" in the village. Is it imperative that showers are on 4 or is 2.5 used anywhere?
There is no smell of burning and no heat anywhere on the board.
Its the main fuse board for the entire house.
It's only a new problem and the board has been installed for 18 months. Not sure what the rating is.

Thanks guys, first thing we checked was loose connections on the board. All are tight so I guess next step is call a professional but they are few and far between in the village [emoji23][emoji23][emoji24][emoji24]

Hi guys
The brother in laws breaker is making a buzzing noise but only when he turns on one of the electric showers. Nothing else in the house causes the buzz. Not even the air con so just wondering if anyone could shed some light on why it's doing this and if it's serious?
He can use the shower on cold but as soon as he turns one of them to hot the board starts making noises.??
Any help appreciated

I had my house built by a great English company. Very reliable and very reasonably priced. Drop me a pm if you want the details.

Yes i have the Cypher Locker repo installed.

You can't have both, cypher "borrowed" [emoji13][emoji13] the coding for his stuff from Poseidon and in return Poseidon tweaked his so it wouldn't work with cypher.
Take your pick but not both [emoji106]

Are u running project cypher addon too by any chance?

Hi guys
Does anyone know how close I can build a house to an existing perimeter wall. There is nothing over the wall except a rice field.
I won't have a window on the wall that will be beside the perimeter wall it will be on the opposite wall.
Thanks

OK, people enough!
I don't think the PEA chap is doing anything untoward, 25mm2 is the minimum size required for a 30/100 supply, period. Particularly long runs need even bigger to avoid volt-drop issues.
Of course, he would have been much happier if you'd gone back and said Xyz can do it for $xxx, can you get there?
I agree that the PEA guy is not doing anything wrong but you know how Thailand works. One hand scratches the other.
The thing I take issue with is this guy is obviously the one in the wrong and is trying to blame it all on the builder.
The builder installed the correct cable for a standard house connection. The cable running to the supply is all the same as what the builder has run to the house. Now the guy decides to up the supply and blames the builder for not being psychic.
It's a bit pathetic.

Sounds like you are buddies with the builder. Go figure.
It's of no relevance whether I know the builder or not.
I am reading a thread and going by what you have posted it's obvious that you are the one at fault here. I hate people that try to blame others for their own mistakes.
Facts are these.
1. You tried to be a cheap Charlie with the PEA guy and now it's biting you in the ass.
2. You didn't tell your builder that you were going to put in a higher capacity system and now your trying to blame him for your mistakes.
3. Your slandering him here when it's blatantly obvious that your the one at fault.
You better hope he doesn't read this thread because if he does you will end up with a court case on your hands. Slander is taken very seriously in Thailand and from your attitude I would imagine this is not the first time or place you have done it....

Is this the address you are using? https://extranet.immigration.go.th/fn90online/online/tm47/TM47Action.do
Just opened the site using it.
Tried it on two different computers with two different versions of IE then tried it on chrome with an explorer extension and still dead?

According to the website my last 2 online applications are still pending (August and November). Luckily I am just a 20 minute drive from Pattaya Immigration, so I reported in person.
So even when it works it doesn't work [emoji12][emoji12]

The site is fine. I just accessed it.
Tried twice last night and three times so far today and it's offline all times?
That's using internet explorer [emoji20]

At the same site to register your 90 day report is a button for checking the status of your application.
Looks like it doesn't matter .
The site offline again [emoji13][emoji13][emoji13]

You can post the report from anywhere in the country to the office that issued the extension, but you have to include a self addressed envelope so they can send the receipt. Make sure the return address is the address they have on record and not the address you're temporarily staying at.
I assume you have to send your passport and all paperwork if u do it by post yes?
How safe is that ?
I would love to do it but if passport went missing I be f*%#^}ed

How do you know if the online one has worked? It's so hit and miss what if you do it and it doesn't get sorted and u miss your deadline?

A good lawyer and house builder!

Good luck finding a company willing to let you hold off on 30%.
I researched about 9 companies here before building my home and the highest completion payment was 10%. Most were not even willing to do that.
In all seriousness even in Europe no builder would let you hold off on a third of the cost of the house.
That's 900k on a 3 million baht House [emoji23][emoji23]
No chance and if a builder is telling you he will do that it's likely he will have done a runner with your previous payment long before you have to worry about the final one.
Your other points are valid though.
