Have to take a closer look at the complete arrangement ( couple of minutes spare ) However my first concern is the switched neutrals, depending on the rest of the earthing system not shown naturally.

I'll bet they put you on their "watch list".........???? Nothing like "doing it live".......tip(it's only on at night).......DOHHHHH!!! cut wire....mmmm...might have been more believable if you pulled the twist and tape joint apart, now you'll have the PEA out looking for an owl with a pair of side cutters.

Many countries use a primary fuse and/or disconnect link for such purposes but rarely ever seen one in Thailand. Same as for a cover or a seal to begin with as Crossy says. Why don't you simply go and ask them or are you Thai..?? Reason being in my experience Thai seldom ever want to ask, be it directions or whatever, no idea why. As for cutting the seal, do it down under and you are dead meat so-to-speak.......possibly if you are a Thai local you might get away with it, but if farang, then the two rule system most likely applies..????

Response from a dilutie as they always know best, mainly as they don't know any better.

As quoted. it's not the voltage that is the problem, it's the current. As for 41A, dream on.

Try searching for the particular brand.

Genuine or not, commonly known in electrical trade as "telephone connectors"...as that is about all they are good for.

There is a minimum separation of 100mm there as well if you want to follow recommendations. Hope is that you don't intend to include them both in the one mounting block or fitting.

It has that property but the separation also covers against underground blow ups. The last thing one wants is mains supply down a comms cable and worse yet, injected into comms company gear as they WILL track you and hold you responsible for any damage to their gear.

Real builders work in mm. Uni students, amateurs and TV shows work in cm.????

At a guess I'd say he has to determine if the existing are PAL or NTSC system. One will not work on the other............

In all my years as a lecky, I have never used building cable (single insulated) underground. Reason being, I have seen too many blow up as the insulation deteriorates (especially the red insulated) and as water creep in. Insulation goes like that of a dry clay creek bed. Most that do use it are simply trying to save some bucks without considering the long term effect. Double insulated (TPS) best approach if you want it to last. If any low voltage cabling is run in the same conduit, it to should be mains rated insulated and sheathed cable. Any comms should be a separate conduit entirely and spaced some 300mm horizontally away from mains conduits.

I'd like to bet 2 cents in the dollar one could fit a lead and plug to the internal connections and plug the thing in higher up. Won't be anything that will save your drive unit not matter how much "grease" you spread around.

Also not to forget to switch the front panel rocker switch to "240V" before use.

Well the bucket idea comes from a commly used principle in pump stations but the drawback is ( as there always is at least one) one has to pressurise the bucket with (ideally) nitrogen during high water conditions. Cannot see why moving it up would be a problem that cannot be overcome.

Something about the "cheap" would be of concern I'd imagine. Plenty of insurance....??? mmm...maybe of no help considering the use of possible non-compliant equipment. As they say, the bitter taste of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of cheap price is forgotten.

Good luck with keeping flood water out.???? Even with a bucket strapped up side down over it, it would be subject to water entry via cable entry or damage from condensation. Best suggestion, move it up out of harms way.

That's probably because you have no info on the situation. Fact is, everything was fine, bookings done, plenty of time. Then Thai Airways decide to shift the flight times for the flight which leaves no options open. If not enough, then the connecting flight did the same. Managed to find a solution by contacting wife's brother who will buy a couple of sims and send them over donkey express to Aus, maybe 10 days. Plug in, activate. Call wife's brother to add some credit, done.

If they keep changing flight times like they did to us the other day, just when we had everything booked including connecting flights and hotels, they'll be less a couple of travellers each year from this end. Cost enough as it is having to now transit bruddy Sydney, now extra flights, extra hotel stays.

Never ceases to amaze me how some cannot read and understand written English. I did say .............. I am already aware one CAN purchase a sim in Aus for Thailand BUT they are largely only loaded with data access, very few with phone credit and those that are, only a few baht which is essentially useless.

Coming over next month and time between arrival at Suvarnabhumi and our departure on a domestic flight is rather short. Won't have time to "go shopping" for a sim card and wondered if anyone knows where I can get one here in Aus before I leave. Saw a couple when I Googled the subject but just get flooded with offers of mostly "data offers like 30 gig for 15 days" but with <deleted> all, if any, credit for phone calls. 15 baht was the best I saw. Family are on AIS mainly but any of the main one would be ok.

Used Allianz last trip in 2019, cost then was around the $250 for 2, wife and myself. Although probably not really necessary for her given she holds Thai and Aussie citizenship. This time I did a quote from same mob, around $360.00. Remembered seeing reference during Covid to AXA, a Thai company I assume. Problem I have there is they want to know too many details (passport number, dob etc) just to get a quote. Anyone travel with insurance cover from this company or any other Thai based ones which are reliable. Obviously, trying to save a few bucks (might not be woth the effort in the long run). Just costs have blown out this time due to Thai Air no longer transiting Brisbane (well, at least not directly). Also, along with this, additional accommodation in Sydney to cover flight times. If that wasn't enough, thought everything was booked and sealed, Thai Air sent an email. Oh, so sorry, return trip departure times have been set back some 9 hours. Normally I try to allow for changes but this one rocked the boat.???? Trip is 32 days........ I notice Thai might have changed their visa exempt to 45 days but insurance still goes either to 30 day with a jump in fees to 60 days.

Didn't look too hard obviously......

Just announced that all covid related proceedures are now scrapped. https://aseannow.com/topic/1273380-goodbye-emergency-decree-and-center-for-covid-19-situation-administration-an-era-comes-to-an-end-in-thailand/

Question is, why try to dodge your responsibility. Pretty clear it's no longer accepted riding without a helmet. As a side note, what applies to Thai in certain situations very rarely if ever, same for farang(or haven't you noticed).
