  1. The world steps back away from the threat of WW III and leaves Putin free reign to wage war how he likes? Putin will carry on issuing his WW III threats safe in the knowledge that the worst case scenario is a few more sanctions which don't seem to be very effective.
  2. Thaksin wants to lecture the medical council on ethics? Mr. Thaksin. You have to be joking.
  3. It's worth remembering that the panels, by their very nature, are current and voltage limited. The fuses, surge absorbers and breakers normally fitted are more to protect against lightning EMP (electromagnetic pulse) events. The fuses fitted are normally "quick blow" which is considerably faster than a circuit breaker. The scenario in the event of a lightning surge is: The EMP will cause a high current flow in the solar panel wiring. The surge absorber conducts this high current to ground. This high current causes the fuse to blow very quickly. A second strike nearby will go nowhere because the fuse has already blown. House and inverter et al should never see any dangerous and damaging surges. Having said all that I've never heard of such a disastrous event happening but sods law being what it is .........
  4. I think everybody who heard Trump's 24hr fix for the war knew it was an utter rubbish thing to say. In my opinion Putin is hell bent on reassembling the USSR. He can only be stopped by being beaten on the battlefield, and that is something no one wants to get involved in.
  5. And yet the super rich are not necessarily the most obese. I think it has less to do with money and more to do with education.
  6. This is what a PV combiner box should look like. If the box only has one input and one output then it is not combining anything. This one is advertised on Shopee. I am showing it for illustration purposes only. https://down-th.img.susercontent.com/file/sg-11134201-7rd6t-m6y0sney5yu36a
  7. Ooops. For UK please read US. However, it might be a worthwhile exercise to take a quick look inside inverters in other countries.
  8. Eh? I'm not even going to attempt to translate this rubbish. It's worth remembering that grid connected domestic inverters in Australia are mandated to have coms facilities fitted so that grid controllers can modify outputs to suit the grid requirements. In this article, no explanation is offered as to the probable purpose of the communication equipment. At best it seems that the inverters were not to spec. At worst there is the possibility of foreign control of the UK solar grid.
  9. This is just like the stuff Bob used to write. Is he still about?
  10. I have no idea if there is a better place to post this question so please move it if necessary. When a foreigner dies in Thailand what sequence of events gets triggered and who is responsible to make sure it happens? Is there an agenda followed like; Hospital autopsy to determine if there was foul play, Immigration police to cancel visa etc. Local police to contact embassy of deceased. If anyone has experience of these matters, it would be good to hear it.
  11. The key word here is "coherent" which is under scrutiny at the moment.
  12. It was indeed reported in a newspaper, but that translates into 'he paid to stay out of prison'.
