  1. The label on the shower breaker says earth leakage breaker. Can i use this type on the main board without an earth?

    The water pump is earthed. All the other sockets are 2 wire.

    If you have a picture of the unit from homepro or a link that would be great. I have checked their website and can only see single pole breakers that are about 1500bt.

  2. If you press the red button does everything go off??

    Assuming it does, you can replace the breaker with a simple 30A RCBO, cost 500 Baht with a nice plastic box. That will give you better protection from shock than you have now (none).

    Any links to where i can get the RCBO.

    I don't want to be paying for a rewire or meter upgrades. Just increase the safety so i'm not electrocuted.

  3. My new house has very poor wiring. I am a bit concerned about safety. Is the box in the picture a RCB? Inside there is an adjustable dial 0-100 i think. Any ideas about increasing safety in this rented property?

  4. Adding a diode will rob about 1v and a 20w panel will never charge a large storage battery. I have a mobile 80w array, and charge controller, that would not bring a 35ah battery over 75% full in 3 days of summer sun.

    A cheap charge controller and 20w panel will not replace a dedicated 3-4 stage smart charger. The battery life will be compromised and sulfation will build up if it is not kept near 100% charged.
