.............and mains size is? You might be better off on 3Phase/Neutral.

There are different categories in respect to multimeters and it depends on where you intend to use the meter as to what category it will need to be. Obviously to begin with, the higher the category number the higher the price. That said one can get a reasonable quality cat.4 unit with all the ranges you require for around the AUD$100.00 mark.

You'll need to provide the capacity you need first up. I take it you mean for AC mains.

Try this.............

Appears to be confusion as to "busbar" being the connection to the breakers which is correct, and neutral and earth links being the top connection brass bars shown in the load centres above.

One must remember not to dismiss the breaker itself. There are different rating such as type a, type c. Also brand can sometimes catch one out. External noise, interference, load changes can and do cause, for the most part, unexplained tripping. Fortunately for us, we have access to line analyser test gear to verify or other probably 95%. Just saying........

Isolating power first would be a given in any case. Best advice would be put the shelf somewhere else. You can be assured there will be quite a few cables behind the mortar and not necessarily in a straight plum line either.

Long time no see Aussie doctor....??? $90 for short visit these days (5-10 minutes) Get medicare refund maybe $35. Blood test at another establishment add to that. Betting you'd be forking out at least $250 to begin with. Then you need another short doctor visit fee to get results. Cheap Charlie....get insurance.

Out the gate.....ban the dickwit for 3 years.

Won't be much of a megger for 1000 baht however, then all you need is someone that knows how to use it. (as per my previous answer)

Megger and a lecky who knows how to use it.

Last I looked the majority of the city was flooded to the eyeballs. Best give the locals a few weeks to recover. Can imagine the last thing on their mind would be fixing yor bruddy motorcy.

Stay clear of axial fans.........experience says they wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding.

Like taking ice and snow to the North pole.

Trouble with that is, things like shafts wear and seals go hard and brittle from the soap powder and before long one is back to knackered much more quickly than it prooves worth it.

Bad tradesperson always blame their tools......💥

Might pay to check. Only way to lose power to half your house is with your distribution board / final sub-circuits otherwise.

You could simply make your own spacer rings from a piece of 3mm ply or mdf, paint one side same as ceiling, glue bare side to ceiling and slip in the new fitting after the glue is dry.

Are you on multi-phase supply?

Adaptor plates, spacer rings, whatever you like to call them are available. It may be a bit of a hunt for you though to find ones to cover your 100mm existing hole size due to it being an abnormal size. https://www.sparkydirect.com.au/p/NLS-20185-170mm-Extension-Plate-Suit-90mm-Downlights-White-170mm-Overall

We replace wife's mums machine(dual tub) every 3 years or so as it get approx. 4 to 5 hours solid work each and every day. LG 16kg and same model each time. Seems a good design so why change it. Flog off the old one for next to nothing to a relative( plenty in line) and away we go again. Also seem when it comes to change, one of the electrical retailers or other will have it with a saving of around 2000baht so just over 7,000baht. There are other top loaders there (same brand) which go out on a 10 year basis but no where near the work load. During their life span maybe a couple of nylon clutches and that's about it. Simple as to work on, no pumps just drain valve. Worst case there is when others do not put smalls in a bag and they get wrapped under the agitator/pulsator.

As I suspected, basic tunnel terminals. So either straight stripped back cable/ or use appropriate size cable ferrule.

Probably because, unlike other countries such as Aus, the government does not provide you with accomodation, health care, money each week, lawyers , and a host of other goodies. In Thailand you work or starve.

We had a similar incident up in Chum Phae a couple of years ago. We fixed our vehicle and that was then end of it as far as any city official was concerned. As they say, nothing to see here, move on. (and watch where you are going next time ..... 🤔)

Appears (in this 5kva model at least) to be run-of-the-mill terminal block. Lower RHS of photo...............
