Thian Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 They have to make a backbone from thick cable, can't use the old ones anymore. But nope, they don't need the help from farang....they can do it themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the rats nest of copper that hangs below the electric cables, the electricity put in electric poles to carry the 230v and higher voltage electricity cables, but every TV, internet and phone company runs their cable below these and now the electricity poles are holding up a lot more wire than they were designed for and are braking under the strain.

Bulldust Even if the conduit were only buried 300mm below ground level, the required pressure to stop water ingress would be 2.94kPa and that assuming no surface water depth over and above. It would also mean that any access hatch, even a small on measuring say 400mmx400mm would have a 0.47kn total force trying to open it. Your pressurisation theory would then rely on counduit be sealed after cables were installed which defeats the purpose of undergroud counduits or trunking. Your theory suggests pressurised air constantly pumped into the system and should any single man hole or access point be opened, the pressurisation would be compromised. The majority of electrical cables in Aust are overhead and always will be. There are efficiency advantages, capacity advantages and cost advantages that will ensure this remains Oh dear, I did say the cables are pressurised, and that is a fact, not like your comment. And this is about comms cables. Do us a favour, comment on something you know, I haved worked in the industry for over 40 years, don't tell me you know more about comms cables than I do, you must be an idiot.

Reigntax Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 34 minutes ago, Rorri said: Rorri, you are talking through your backside. Main feeder cables were pressurised a century ago because the insulation used was basically paper and to maintain its insulation effectiveness it couldnt get damp. We no longer live in the 1940's and since we now have materials with adequate insulation and can be bonded to the conductors, it is not required. It never worked in the first place and if you were familiar with such a system you would know why. You obviously have some limited electrical knowledge but that does not seem to extend to processes used in the last 50 or so years. There are, in some parts of the world, some section of the old pressurised distribution mains, which are outdated and would be replaced except to cost would be prohibitive unless essential. Now you are suggesting comms cables are pressurised? So now you suggest that air is injected between the sheath and the conductor. You may not be aware, but air contains moisture and unless completely dried will inject moisture which would condense immediately after any restriction. it just show how someone who has spent 40 years working in an industry still has no idea why or what they are doing. You may need to catch up. The world is now modern, we no longer go shopping with horse and carts, the great depression ended and Siam has changed it name, althought it still living in the same era as you, apparently.

lucifer666 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Maybe they need an instruction manual. Here :- 1. Cut cable 2. Pull cable taut 3. Reconnect cable 4. Go to step 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey melon head, I mentioned Australia as an example of how cables can be buried. Damn some melon heads are so thick. I re-post it just for you. " Do what they do in Australia, put in the underground cable/infrastructure, then move customers onto it, then hey, remove the overhead cables, Thailand, it is not rocket science. Would you like me to help...lol " Edited August 27, 2016 by Rorri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
