Yellowtail

The home is not really that big, it just does not have many rooms, and the living room is huge. It's an old house with great airflow, and currently only has two old AC units (one "ducted" and on floor style) and a few ceiling fans. With all the screens and whatnot, it looks to me like the previous owners did not use AC much, if at all. The phase thing confuses me a bit. I understand that I can get (what I think is) the same single-phase supply using a neutral and any one of the three lines. But when I have a three-phase motor, I can change the direction of rotation by swapping and two of the three lines. How is it that they are all the same? I hope to see the house again Saturday, and I'll try to check the meter. I just assumed that anything in Bangkok province was under the MEA.

How much power does that provide, and how much area/panels?

If I go with 380 I'd go with a 60 and four 38s. The 38s are a bit oversized, but I they don't come much smaller. If I go 220 I'd go with six 30s. Two in the big room and one in each of the four bedrooms. The big room is about 80m^2 and has windows on three sides. I want to go with a cassette and the ceiling's relief is such that there is only one good spot for it. We're in Bangkok now, and do not seem to have any trouble with the power. The new place is in BKK as well. How much more difficult/expensive would adding solar be with 3-phase? I want to add about 130m^2 of shade and may want to do it with solar.

I have an old knee-mill, engine lathe and a welder that are three-phase. I've been storing them for years (planning to move) and would like to get them back going. The place we're used to have three-phase, and the panel and wire are still there, but it's been converted to single.

Make sure that the exact motel you order from China has TISI certification or at least been delivered into Thailand before. We ordered a bunch of LED lights for the plant, and ended up spending about B50K just for certification to get them through.

I have a bit of experience with 3-phase working in manufacturing, but I have no interest in getting up in the crawlspace and whatnot. I have still not made an offer on the property. I would also like to add a good bit of shade, and would likely go with solar panels for that, which (I think) may be problematic with 3-phase. The issue is that it seems all the big AC units are 380. I'd hate to go with two smaller units.

I would take it to court, even if it cost me twice the value. Eff cheaters.

I assume t's MEA and I'll get my wife to call.

Thanks, I want three-phase for air conditioning and a few old machine tools I have.

Only two wires going from the pole to the house.

So four wires are three-phases and a neutral, and no ground, correct?

The short answer is no. The hotter the ambient outside temperature, the less effective the heat-exchanger works. Blowing 35-degree air though a hot coil does not remove heat as effectively as blowing 30-degree air through a hot coil.

I am thinking of buying a new home and would like to upgrade the power to three-phase. Looking at the photo below, does it look like 3-phase is available?

First, if an air conditioner is undersized or even sized correctly, you will not realize significant savings with an inverter. When both units are running "wide open", the power consumption should be similar. Undersized units run "wide-open" most of the time, so the start-stop vs cycle-down is not much of an issue. I would guess your return-air temperature on the mitsu is reading higher that the TLC, so it is actually making the air cooler than the TLC. The outside temperature is significant, because the hotter it is, the harder the condenser (outside unit) has to work. The compressor in the condenser uses most of the power. The evaporator (inside unit) is mostly just a fan box.

How old is the squatter?

I would go with this: TOA Contact Primer | TOA ทีโอเอ ผู้นำสีทาบ้าน ครองตลาดอันดับ 1 ในประเทศไทย (toagroup.com) And then this: TOA ExtraWET PRIMER | TOA ทีโอเอ ผู้นำสีทาบ้าน ครองตลาดอันดับ 1 ในประเทศไทย (toagroup.com) And top with this: SuperShield | TOA ทีโอเอ ผู้นำสีทาบ้าน ครองตลาดอันดับ 1 ในประเทศไทย (toagroup.com)

Yes, that's what each employee gets every month on top of their salary and benefits.

Scrape it off and paint it with a flat white primer.

I like "Burger Bro"

Chair is rated/warranted 150kg

refinish the floor and the shutters to match. The fool looks to be 20 years old plus, and if it's okay until now, it will likely be fine. Hardwood floors squeak, but they are good for a lifetime with minimal attention. Unless it's high-end laminate and is installed perfectly on a SOLID subfloor it will look like cr*p in a year or two.

I bought an office chair from HomePro about fourteen months ago for ~B10K. The air-strut started bleeding off, slowly at first, and then pretty fast. I was going to bush it up, but the wife calls HomePro and apparently there're three-year warranty. They make an appointed, send a guy out and they replace the entire base, wheels and all. Some guys talk about how all Thai companies are cheaters, but that has not been my experience.

The existing may be hardwood planks. If so. O would try to save it. Does the family have a recommendation on who can redo it?

Yeah, the rich are doing great under Biden.

That's hilarious
