Not many bars with Generators, playing havoc with the temperature of the beers.

Tell me which 3rd world country have no power failure? If you run a biz you need a reliable power generator. Diesel generators are cheap to operate, consumption about 230 gr diesel/KWH. They are cheap. I have one 15 kVA generator with governor which cost me brand new 85.000 THB

What type & where did you buy it wdr ?

[wdr]

It's a 2 Cylinder Diesel Engine and SAE 3 coupled alternator, available in single phase or 3 phase, opem frame. Under full load the Diesel consumption is approximately 250 gr/kW. If the load increase, the engine automatically increase the required power. The governor will adjust the engine speed to 1500 rpm, as required to generate 230 Volt, 50 Hz. The Diesel engine is designed for Generator applications, 12hr continious run. Exact data can be requested from Marinetech.

Thanks for that. I have a 2 cylinder Honda powered, brushless with AVR, 12.5 KVA petrol.Uses around 3 litres of 91 an hour under all but full load.

Power at the rear of Lamai has been up and down most of the day. Not fully stopped as yet, just enough to run the router.

Where is the "rear" of Lamai?

Not where I am, which I would call 'middle of Lamai'; power has been on solid all day.

1km or so behind the old market.

[notmyself]

Back on full power now. The old 'pop down to the shop' trick worked!

[livinthailandos]

Any idea what's going on. I'm here in bophut no electric since 8pm

[jamesbrock]

Still fine here in Lamai. I reckon you guys up north get way more power cuts than we do; it's hardly 'fair' rationing, if that's what it is.

[Tropicalevo]

Sorry - OK here in Plai Laem for now BUT.......................

some big storms around tonight. We might be joining you.

Mine flicked off for perhaps 10 seconds around 5:30 or so. Lot of thunder around but doesn't seem to be getting any closer.

Less than 5 minutes after posting it went. Back up in under and hour..... Not bad.

Power off for 2 hrs at our place-looks like parts of samui are off too.

Just another reason for us to live on this paradise island.

Lol, yep, ours went too - for the same time.

[samuijimmy]

Four transformers (I think that is the term) blew from over heating on Samui, and one in Haad Rin on KP which may have affected Ban Tai area of KP.....

Too many people cranking up the air con at the same time.... My source of that , is one of the PEA managers.

My power went about 8.30 came on at 1.30 am... strangely people not far from me had no outage....

Phew !!! it's hot... I don't very often turn on AC but sure have a few times lately!

Oh darn!!!! just gone off again a few seconds.....

[Tropicalevo]

Some big storms over the islands at the moment.

Arayaburi power pole (Plai Laem) just exploded - lightening strike, but they have a generator so no sweat.

Expect some power outages tonight. (TOT down as well at my place)

[Rooo]

Sunday 3 1/2 hours today 4 1/2 hours Bophut.

not all of bophut, we werent affected

[churchill]

The wind blew in Ban Tai and ...... Poof ..

[Rooo]

No power since 4.10 PM

[jamesbrock]

Lamai checking in - no interruptions so far. (Although last time I wrote that we lost power minutes later!)

[ydraw]

OK in Lamai still, didn't have much rain here at all yet though, looks like it's about to come down again in about 5 minutes.

I wouldn't like to say for sure that the power goes off less at time goes by but it's certainly fixed faster and faster. I seem to get more power dips than cuts, knocks out my PC but everything else works, even the aircon.

Am I going to regret posting this!

[churchill]

Started raining in Ban Tai ...... poof ..
