I really really hope that you have copper feed cables as the PEA prohibits aluminium from being installed underground. I don’t have any information as to the reasons just that aluminium cable must be in the air.

AS i already said that is an SD card. It is an external (not built in) storage device that plugs into your Phone, you just have to remember to take it out!!! There are many other less convent solutions.

If you do backups online probably correct, if you don’t then at least if you backup on to the SD card you have a better chance to keep your data.

Refrigerant re-fill for AC - when?
sometimewoodworker replied to aldriglikvid's topic in The Electrical Forum
That is your opinion, many will disagree. -
Probably not as the leakage current required to light an LED is significant lower than required to light a fluorescent.

2 answers, 1 @Crossy has diagnosed, your neutral and line are crossed on half the lamps. The other is that you have bought cheaply designed/made lamps where the circuit doesn’t have the required resistor/capacitor that will prevent the glow. Cheapest, reverse the wiring. Best, spend more per unit, though that is a bit of a lottery.

While I have no information of the use or benefits of using the nonstandard water seal instead of the world wide (not specially Thai way) common bitumen joint seal. The first recorded mention I’ve found is from 1902 in Toronto, Canada using “paving pitch”. It looks as if you are negating the effectiveness of the crack prevention as, as far as I can see your workers are using deformed rebar for joint dowels rather than the smooth rebar suggested to allow for the sections to move. I would love to be proven wrong but suspect that you will get cracks radiating at about 45 degrees from the rebar locations. This assumes that you have differentiation in movement between slabs.

Solar system with Safe T Cut keeps tripping
sometimewoodworker replied to pedritosan's topic in The Electrical Forum
That demonstrates the difference between marketing speak a the physics of batteries and their degradation over time. The claim that is being made is solid bovine waste. Or is rather/very economical with the truth. They don’t tell you that while a new battery/s may not stress the system you are going to loose a significant amount of the lifespan of the new battery/s. -
Cable brands - big differences?

Also when clipping to a wall it will look much neater it wasn’t until I came to Thailand that I came across round section mains cables -
You certainly can, however you can’t tell exactly what you’re going to get, so if you have a specific need the you have to go in person. Some items are probably not going to need that but with others there is such an enormous variety available that it is imperative.

Solar system with Safe T Cut keeps tripping
sometimewoodworker replied to pedritosan's topic in The Electrical Forum
Again a wonderful idea on temperatures but incorrect at 30C the battery service life is about 50% of the maximum. At 25C it is around 30% less than at 20C -
Solar system with Safe T Cut keeps tripping
sometimewoodworker replied to pedritosan's topic in The Electrical Forum
That is a wonderful idea but regrettably it is pie in the sky. Batteries degrade over time and adding additional batteries to a degraded battery bank will significantly reduce its performance. This is why you should always keep battery sets together for best economy. -
Refrigerant re-fill for AC - when?
sometimewoodworker replied to aldriglikvid's topic in The Electrical Forum
The landlord pays for the service to be installed water, electricity, AC The renter pays the cost of using the service. Regular cleaning is part of the cost of using the service. Don’t use it no need to pay As a landlord I would never expect to pay for AC cleaning, but if I was expected to do so you can bet the rent would be higher. -
Well it tells us where not to suggest. probably MR-MDF will be a reasonable choice, though here it called HMR-MDF it is available in smaller dimensions from Lazada

The article you referenced was giving a price of ฿200,000, that was what I was basing my comments on the article you referenced. Having done a little research on AliExpress The wire feed unit is going to cost over ฿14,000 the laser itself is going to be over ฿135,000 Bottom line buy one even at the full price of ฿2,800 it’s not going to hurt your pocket and don’t confirm delivery until you have tested it and you may be able to get your money back when it doesn’t work. With the remote chance that does work you will be able to crow that nobody believed you

That still isn’t giving your location. If it’s going to be inside or outside is also relevant, as there are some boards that have a very high formaldehyde content that are OK if they are not going to be used in an enclosed space. They are likely to cause respiratory problems used without good airflow, they would almost certainly be banned in the U.K.

FWIW it’s extremely unlikely that they have ‘marine’ grade though they will probably have exterior grade material.
-
@Crossy is correct that the size is 2440 X 1440 and available in thickness from 3 mm usually up to 19 mm (marked as 20 mm) they do not have boards in smaller sizes and definitely do not have any cutting service. They may well have rubber wood panels in narrower widths and a verity of thickness, though they will be grade B or C. The availability of specific thicknesses and grades is not consistent as they wait until a pack is finished before ordering more. If you were to let us know where you are located and the rough details of the project we can probably give more specific advice

That does rather make the points is posited doesn’t it? you said So CHEAP TO BUY must have a very different meaning for you, as a light duty machine is going to cost ฿200,000 ~ ฿400,000 and over ฿700,000 for the better ones, and that is ignoring import costs. So for commercial use where the speed is a significant factor they are going to be commercially effective in high wage countries or for robot assisted production. In short a machine that is about 40~80 times the price of a cheap MIG and 7 times the price of a professional MIG. Is not in any way cheap nor suitable for home use. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t buy one, why not if you have the price of a car in pocket change?
-
That is is something I’ve never seen, I rather doubt that it is possible for any reasonable thickness of steel (over 0.5mm) and even mor sceptical that a very powerful (it has to be) laser is cheap and available for non commercial use. I will be happy to be proven wrong.

And where are you finding it and at what price. I have never found any offered by any of the numerous specialist suppliers I have used. That one obscure Australian supplier has it is irrelevant since this is a Thailand forum and the availability is for Thailand. So definitely no apologies are offered or required. There are a huge variety of woods available in different countries that are never imported into Thailand other than in minuscule quantities so are irrelevant. If you actually want rot and insect resistant (100 years typically) wood then use cleft sweet chestnut, but then you can’t because it isn’t imported in commercial (or any) quantities.
