    Spose it's too difficult to terminate the wifi cable up the pole and get rid of the coils of wire. Usual mob doing the initial instalation don't have long enough ladders in the back of their bashed up utes.

    How do they ever fault find a telephone cable fault? Back-in-day we connected a pulse echo tester on the faulty line, we knew the propergation speed through the telephone exchange and thru copper so we could calculate where the fault was. How can they do that here with all the wires coiled up?

    Are ex you PO?

  3. Without looking its a RCBO and wired before the MCCB (Main breaker) as the tripping function works with the MCCB open. I wonder if the installer ran the neutral through the MCCB or direct to the neutral bar in which case it would still trip with the MCCB open on neutral/earth fault. As others have said having a butchers inside the wiring accessories would be first action, no point ripping the whole consumer unit out unless the landlord is up for paying. 

  4. Have put up a few panels, 2 running a irrigation pump direct and 4 running a 1500w PSW off grid inverter via 40A charge controller and 2 x 125A flooded lead acid batteries. 

    Heat is your enemy, electronics will fail if running near the limit so keep em cool. The panels rated output will drop when hot.

    Many people are selling panels 300w Plus for around 4k baht.

    Most don't sell the Ali profile,clamps,MC4 plugs,cable etc and online is the best way for these bits, ( ordered some 4Mtr Ali roof profile online and they had to cut it in half to transport ????)

    Grid tie inverters seem to be expensive in Thailand compared to the overpriced UK.

    Example Solax boost 3.3Kw UK £334, Thai 39K baht (£1044) 

    Feed in tariffs seem to be falling, I think less than 2 baht is the latest.

    Grid tie self consumption seems to be the sensible option but keep an eye on the meter as you don't want a negative reading ????

     

     

     

  5. The Sermthai complex has all the usual suspects 

    Watsons

    Black canyon

    KFC

    McD

    Pizza company

    Swensens

     

    The prawn restaurant just passed Hino on the ring road (big pink prawn outside) not western but does serve french fries and the location is nice.

     

  6. Kubota Thailand now show prices on their website, the B2140 comes in 2 versions the narrow(sugar cane worker with the cage) and standard both 235K bare. Its worth noting that the dozer blade is not shown as a peripheral for the narrow version so those wanting to push dirt around might want to seek clarification.

    Just spied a beaut on FB,  218K with dozer and mower.
