Looks like a shunt release for remote control to me. And it seems all three breaker toggles are physically hacked together and then to the shunt release? Not 100% sure as picture not super clear.

For people? Yes it seems so. You only got the overcurrent protection of the normal fuses which mainly protects cables/switches etc.

Yup seems like the RCBO was just removed. I guess that's one way to "fix" the problem. I've seen a few electrical installations in Thai houses which are leaking and causing RBCOs to trip. Of course fixing the leaks is much harder than just removing the RCBO from the equation...

In your second pic the knobs actually do look like the original. Interesting. It could be a B-Ware item that failed some smaller QA checks or refurbished. E.g. that dim second battery indicator strip and the differently looking handle but main functionality working. Would fit the sellers name which includes "outlet".

Looks like a copy if you compare yours to images from the Marshall homepage or Amazon. The material of the inside of the handle seems completely different. It also seems that the knobs should should have a circle texture to them which in your picture it doesn't look like it has although the image is kinda blurry so not 100% sure.

We're going to see why "Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law" is an important warning.

As I mentioned, I have worked in an energy company on projects where MWs were nothing special.. I've ordered cables by the km and some were thick like an arm. I have some understanding of the mechanics involved. Are there environmental problems with how batteries are produced right now? Yes absolutely. But it doesn't have to be. There's no physical reason for it. The reason is human greed. It is cheaper to do things in a dirty way rather than more complex but clean. That problem is not unique to batteries but exists in nearly every industry. The example of plastic waste disposal was mentioned already. Someone found it was cheaper to ship to Turkey and burn it rather than properly recycling it in the source country. There was a huge smoke problem in SEA due to massive amounts of jungle burning in Indonesia just a few years ago - that was due to the palm oil industry. How much recycling have you seen in Thailand? Nearly everything lands in either landfills or incinerators. There's no physical reason to do all this but it's just cheap and easy and makes money for greedy people. You said you haven't looked into hydrogen but seem to like it. Well guess what, with hydrogen you also already start to see the same greed creating environmental issues. There are companies who produce hydrogen with dirty electricity or chemical reactions in one country and sell it to other countries with strong environmental regulations where it is then turned into "green" electricity. It's called greenwashing - dirty energy laundry. BTW don't forget that the hydrogen combustion engines we've seen so far don't just create water as reaction output, there are still toxic emissions - just less than petrol and especially not those carbon ones. Toyota is going all-in on battery EVs and not hydrogen. They've gone so far as changing their CEO who is part of the powerful Toyoda family which founded Toyota because of his push towards hydrogen and missing the battery train which has put the company behind their competitors. Now they are catching up.

This is getting offtopic but that's completely unrealistic unless you want to suggest killing billions of people Thanos style. A reduction in births means huge issues for an economy because young people are productive while old retired people are a net negative. What China did was a human disaster. The best we can do is keep it more or less stable or shrink very slowly which is what is already happening in a lot of developed countries. Fossil fuels aren't any better. They pollute when we use them and they pollute during extraction. Heck we've even seen wars being fought because of oil. I'd prefer upgrading a few cables and making sure our batteries are produced in an environmentally friendly manner instead. I don't know why you'd need to break up roads. You can funnel a cable as replacement for another cable through existing cable runs. But existing cables should be fine for charging at home over night. And for centralized charging stations it shouldn't be an issue either. There are plenty of new factories being built somewhere and they can have machinery that needs MWs of power. They don't seem to have an issue getting supply. Go to PEA and tell them you need 5MW and they'll say sure, when do you want it. If some place needs an upgrade to the grid then let's just get it over with, that's really the smallest of the problems.

Turns out that even if Trumps imaginary declassification of documents somehow would stick there's just a wee little problem for him: even a president can't declassify nuclear secrets. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-lacked-power-declassify-secret-nuclear-arms-document-experts-say-2023-06-18/

Do you have a gasoline pump at home? Or can you only refuel next to a refinery? Yes 1MW chargers will be only at charging stations. What could go wrong? A lot less than with hydrogen. Not sure why you are trying to argue against fast chargers. These arguments fall flat immediately.

You don't think the voters deserve to know if Trump is guilty of these serious allegations before deciding if he should be president? Should everyone who runs for president be exempt from prosecution or just Trump? And wouldn't that mean that if he wins we'll never know the truth regarding the alleged crimes because he just pardons himself? Does not sound like fair and just at all. PS: what's with all these "imop" after nearly every sentence in your posts? I couldn't find the meaning of that word/abbrevation.

I'm a bit baffled. They complain about the government being weaponized for political purposes (no evidence) and so they want to weaponize their power over funding of law enforcement to intervene in and drop a court case for their own political purposes? What's the professional term of this kind of twisted logic? Hypocrisy? Projecting?

I remember seeing a sign at Mega Bangna that prohibited parking inside for LPG vehicles. It is of course more dangerous than petrol because the explosions can be much more violent and can even damage the structure of these buildings. Many of the cars like taxis in Thailand have been converted to support LPG/CNG by who-knows to varying standards of quality. That's why they don't like them. They didn't come like that from the factory. It's not easy to spot such vehicles when entering the parking houses so enforcement is nearly impossible.

It's a transport of smuggled oil "from the south" so probably Malaysia. It's been a regular thing for many years.

I understand the currents required too. Have worked with cables and transformers in the MW range. Again, what's thee issue for the grid? There are plenty of places using such amounts already, it's really nothing new. Tesla superchargers already do 250kW and they plan 1MW for the trucks. Don't forget current is one part of the equation, these things don't operate at 220V single phase.

By that logic LEDs should soon be replaced with something much better. Oh and that one then again needs to be replaced with something once more much better soon after. And then... or maybe not everything in the world follows the exact same curve? Especially not if the two things have nothing at all in common apart from being somehow related to electricity...

What did I miss? I posted myself this exact year. You must have missed my first post on it in this thead. The point is that a credible manufacturer is showing that range and charge times are not a problem that can't be solved. Heck there are already EVs right now with the same range as petrol powered cars.

Hydrogren is more dangerous than batteries. Hydrogen is exactly as polluting as battery EVs because Hydrogren is created using electricity. Batteries can be recycled and are not inherently messy. No idea how battery tech can be corrupt. A scam? Please explain how it's a scam. All major vehicle manufacturers are switching to EVs, none are currently thinking of transitioning to Hydrogen. Toyota was the biggest Hydrogen supporter and they failed to make the market adopt it. They've switched to battery EVs as their main focus.

You must have missed all the progress with battery tech. Or the post in this very thead where I mentioned Toyota announced 1200km range with charge times of 10min. We've just seen the start of batteries seeing so much investment due to the change to EVs. What other system do you think will be supperior to batteries? 10-20 years is a very short timeframe.

Even in remote Isan you'll be able to pull 5kW from the wall of the house of your GF. But you missed my point. Yes, charging an EV *right now* is not as optimal as refuelling a gasoline powered car. No doubt about it. The infrastracture is still being developed but it's making good progress. It's clearly the future.

I dunno, maybe they'll just put a few more charging stations in place? Just an idea...

People probably thought the same when switching from horses to cars when no petrol stations networks existed.

CNG/LPG is kinda a middleground of issues between hydrogen and gasoline/diesel. You get the storage and safety issues combined with harmful emissions upon combustion. Great. I've seen a few places in Bangkok that ban these in their parking houses. Thailand was close to banning them nationwide due to their poor safety track record. Yes, Thailand is behind when it comes to generating electricity from renewables but taking that as an argument against EVs? That's giving up before you even attempt to solve the problem. Again with the old fuels you have no way to solve the problems. With EVs we have a clear path forward.

Neither fossil fuel nor hydrogen nor battery powered vehicles are optimal. They all have some downsides. The difference is that with fossil fuel and hydrogen there is no known way to remove their downsides like emissions or storage/safety issues. We really need to get away from the polution and I don't ever want to whitness a hydrogen tank exploding anywhere near me. But with battery powered vehicles the current limitations like charge times can be solved. Funnily enough just earlier this week Toyota announced a breakthrough with solid-state batteries which it wants to mass produce 2027/2028 that allows for a range of 1200km and charge time of 10 minutes. I don't see why the grid would be a big issue. You rarely need fast charging times like these when you can slowly charge a vehicle at home or at work. And when you need it then just go to a super fast charging station. https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/toyota-market-next-gen-battery-evs-2026-built-by-new-ev-unit-2023-06-13/

The Toyota CEO never said that. You can find on the same channel supposed quotes by other car manufacturer CEOs saying the exact same thing. It's just very low quality waffling and repeating the same thing over several times mixed with stock footage in the video without any substantial information ???? Video clickbait.
