Crossy Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 No ring finals in Thailand. Lighting and outlets are wired as radials, up to 10 or so double outlets daisy-chained on a 20A breaker wired in 2.5mm2. Lighting in 1.5mm2 on a 10A breaker. Older homes may have lights and outlets on the same breaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubuzz Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 I have just changed the ceiling rose and it only has 2 wires. It looks like the circuit is looped from switch to switch, as apposed to the UK where the ceiling roses are are connected. Sound about right? It is an old apartment-circa 1970-80.

Forkinhades Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 In Thailand, the locals like to feed the switch, which is indeed why you only have 2 wires at the light. It's actually common practice now in the UK. There are a few methods that can be used, depends on type of property and cable used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
