Virt Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Shot this small clip at last years vacation. No wonder the electricity goes bye bye sometimes ;D I'm glad i'm not the one who has to find out which wire is causing the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuijimmy Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 My Soi in Maenam out for about an hour from 4 pm today.... Maenam central unaffected from what I heard. Yesterday seem to be most of the Maenam area for around 2 hours... hardly surprising with the winds blowing down coconut fronds on the wires! At least a little bit of needed rain!

And even in Samui, it seems to occur much more often in the north of the island. Blackouts where I am in Lamai are very very rare, and have never lasted so long that the battery on my laptop has died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not say the north of the island, seems to be more Chawang which is east! I think this year power has not been out more than 4 times in my area (Maenam) since or before last November.... just happened to be twice within the last week for about 4 or 5 hours or so, total.... really no worse than I would think in most western countries.... especially those that get a lot of snow or lightening strikes, etc. One thing I'll say day or night the Electric guys get it fixed PDQ...

Power went out after all settled down, for a short while, here too... At least it bought some rain this time and cooled things down a bit!..... it's been blowing too much hot air lately .... my thermometer was at 38 c yesterday, phew!

smokie36 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Moto, I live just behind your place & mine has been ok. This is what i can never understand. Surely if the power is off you should be out there fixing it instead of coming on here to gloat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insertmembernamehere Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Last evening in my area I had just gotten all settled in for the catch-up NCIS Season 9 and then the following new episode when 10 minutes into the first show the power went out for two hours. Thanks for that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicalevo Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Bit of a storm earlier and now no power since about 2 pm here at the north end of Plai Laem. Good old Genny is earning it's keep though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjj Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Sometimes I can be clever, sometimes I can be stupid. Right now I am going to be stupid. How do you power a house from a genny? Yes, I know the genny gives you power, but how do you get the power out into the house? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooo Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Ok on a serious note, you wire your electrical board to a switch. This switch has a heavy duty wire & plug, which plugs into Genny.. Once the power is out, you start genny, flick the switch over to alternate power source & flick the switch on Genny to let the power through.

In your case get a QUALIFIED electrician, to come & wire your electrical board firstly, then perhaps if you want to spend the money, put in an automatic starter switching box. All you have to do is put fuel in Genny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
