Rimmer Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Electrical wire upgrade in central Pattaya PATTAYA:--The Provincial Electricity Authority continued to upgrade power lines throughout Pattaya, this time putting in safer, higher-capacity lines on Soi Chalermprakiet 13. Workers on July 28 swapped out three lines from Third Road to Soi Buakaow. The original wires had worn out over the years and needed to be changed before the rainy season to prevent shorts. The original wires also were also a lot smaller, carried less voltage and were not coated to safety standards, which has resulted in power cuts in the past. - See more at: http://www.pattayamail.com/news/electrical-wire-upgrade-in-central-pattaya-49787#sthash.uf92NhK5.dpuf -- Pattaya Mail 2015-08-07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadGeordie Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 "Swapped out three lines" that infers that the old lines were removed from the posts etc. If this is the case, surely this news demands a higher profile, as 1st for Pattaya? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebell Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 My English S-i-L is a Health & Safety manager in Yorkshire. He & my daughter have visited me twice. Each time he comes he cannot resist taking a 100 or so photos of the tangles of cables adorning the lamp-posts of Pattaya - all the while struggling to keep from falling to the floor in a giggling fit. Cable replacement is long overdue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chang_paarp Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 How can the cables carrying electricity wear out? Unless the wind has been severe. Or someone has decided the cable can be better reused by the local recycle outfit who will buy it at a competitive rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Robson Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Now if they could just do something about the cable TV. Looks like there is one cable per customer on some pylons! What can possibly go wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mango66 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Cables dont carry Voltage they carry current. Pity the reporter doesnt know very much like you !! cabels keep Voltage against the ground ! And this voltage drives current to any potential which is lower -or higher than the voltage in the wire !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango I appreciate that English is not your first language but your message is lost in translation, could you have another go at getting your message across? Voltage is the measure of potential difference between two points, one often being a ground, current is the measure of electron flow along a circuit. A cable carries a voltage at a rated current determined by conductor size and insulation rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
