    Again, the date they want is in the box on the left, which is the date of the next 90-day report.

    No it is not and by saying that you also say that the 90 day report is a visa.

    The date they want is the date in your passport of the "Permission to stay until" stamp.

     STAY visa is the keyword. There is nothing from a 90-day report receipt that you need to fill in when you do a new one.

    On the paper you print off to put in your passport, in the oblong box to the left is the date of your next report, this is the date you use on your next online 90 day report...

    You have obviously never done a TM47 90-day report online.

    You are asked for 2 dates, "Arrival Thailand Date" and  "Stay visa expires" ,  the latter being the date your "permitted to stay until" stamp in your passport indicates.

    Update: Temp coming down again.. after tightening the 2 screws.

    They will loosen up again, sorry to be repetitive but you are using a flat lug that will have a very limited contact surface with the switch.

    It doesn't bottom out so the pressure on it will deform its side edges with time and that is when it get loose again.

    Don't ask me how I know this..

    IMPORTANT NOTE: - Please don't lose sight of the fact that there is a LOT of energy tied up in your battery packs.

     

    These packs are quite capable of pushing several thousand amps if shorted, that 1/2" drive ratchet stands no chance

    My way of doing it in the battery room under the house.

    50sqmm feed, switch, 35sqmmx2 to the250A fuse and the  busbars.

    Two battery stacks of each 4x5KWh (=40KWh) connected to the busbars.

  5. Looks like you are using some kind of lug on the wires, maybe DZ47/C45 lugs like this:

    the switch however is intended for bare wire which you can see from its rounded bottom.

    I use DIN-rail enclosures for all my other switches but the battery DC switch I used is this one:

    it has proper M8 hex bolts and not weak Philips type screws..

    Interesting I can understand about the single phase wiring. But the three phase has a 50 amp fuse. Would that not be OK for a continuous draw of amps?

    That means that you can temporarily overload your meter up to 50++ Amp somewhere above that your fuse will trip but your meter could withstand up to 100A (before it heats up so much that it starts to spin slower ☺️ )

  7. Interesting to see that I'm not the only one to have a consumption peak 31/3, our daily consumption during March was 52KWh ± 3KWh with 0.5KWh daily purchase from the grid (because current transformers in wrong place) and no feed-back to grid.

    31/3 we had the record consumption of 68.4KWh and we had to buy 6KWh, I'll have to rectify that purchase today 😁

    the places that know the real me start to become more aloof and even (i think) dislike me after my 4 or 5th visit

    There is probably something not so good about your "real me" if they start to dislike you when they get to know you.

    Your persona probably needs more drastic changes than a new after-shave lotion...

    If the car maker says everything is fine, the police have a problem so they will arrest everyone 'til the courts sort it out.

    That sounds very unlikely to me. Arrested for a week or two until the investigation is finished? In a democratic country?  No...

     

    Edit: He was brought in for questioning and then released, that's not arresting.
