[markc123]

ayjay are you still on the christmas spirits? whats with the random thread's lol!

 

[dingodeano]

Foreign?

 

[MDJ]

Exhausting

 

[ayjay]

its from a forum in thailand www.teakdoor.com the fella is having a house built up country
it maybye of zero interest but it makes interesting reading rather than all the arguments on here

 

[SKY]

What country is that install - never seen smoked MCBs before.

 

[ayjay]

blimy ,you lot were quick to post

 

[dingodeano]

Least he's using Schneider.

 

[Darkwood]

Grouping factor ??? hope those cores in the middle don't have heavy loads on them :28:

 

[ayjay]

as i said sky -thailand
they used to use japanese stuff
i think thats square d

 

[MDJ]

Can't see how anything works, the phase conductors are not connected

 

[ayjay]

don,t forget chaps, thailand has no electrical regs whatsoever

 

[ayjay]

his meter can only suppy 5 amps btw!

 

[dingodeano]

What's going on with those colours,?? Black tails to green neutrals? White is earth terminated behind main switch somewhere?

 

[Darkwood]

They seem to have combined system within the CU E/N block at the top? then seperated after switch??

circuits are White - N
Red - L
Green - CPC

Supply L and N black (CPC created by strapping Neutral to earth block at top)

 

[dingodeano]

I will have a look at TeakDoor: The Thailand Forum

 

[MDJ]

Don't do it, you may end up with a ladyboy :38:

I thought neutral was looped to another board maybe? The main switch don't make any sense. I think it is a DP breaker looks like a C63

Those aren't RCBOs are they? Where's the RCD protection?
It doesn't comply with BS7671 and judging by the way half of it isn't connected it won't even work.

Its double pole it says N on back of box thus it must isolate a neutral bar where all white cables go, the L obviously is a plug on busbar rail.

Don't knock it till you tried it. I've heard you can't tell. Could double up as apprentice I could do with an extra pair of hands!!!

 

[dingodeano]

Plug on busbar rail? Bloody hell Schneider have gone all starbreaker. Interesting that the cables will go in bottom of PD's. Would give you a bit more room in board.

 

[Darkwood]

As has already been mentioned its Schneider board but our version uses their other trade name Square D, these boards are standard square D range over here - the ones which just push fit into busbar (white mcbs overhere).

The only bit that may confuse you except colour coding is the fact the board is TNCS (Earth/N strapped together on earth bar) where as our TNCS is done within the service cutout.

 

[dingodeano]

Never fitted square d. Plenty of merlin. Wouldn't you agree that the main switch looks like a double pole circuit breaker?

Thats because it is! - a DP 63amp type C device

 

[ayjay]

i totally agree(post op of course)

i think they were called "stablok" once

[ayjay]

as i said before the supply is a mere 5 amps its taken from the posts along the road
he is fitting a 4500 watt water heater
the sparky said yes
anyway i hope this thread is a bit of a laugh to all and www.teakdoor.com is interesting

 

[Guest55]

It doesn't comply with BS7671 ........

it doesnt have to , its in Thailand :-/

 

[Geordie Spark]

Haven't you heard of wireless connections ... it's the future you know.

 

[MDJ]

I love your signature haha, brilliant

 

[Geordie Spark]

I love your signature haha, brilliant

Thank you ..... I got the inspiration from yours.

 

[Guest55]

i need a new sig.
the ban count down / new year has ended.
i'll have a think.....

 

[Engineer54]

don,t forget chaps, thailand has no electrical regs whatsoever

Of course they do, and based very loosely on our old 14th edition. Whether the local electricians adhere to those codes/Reg's in domestic installations is another matter though!!

 

[ayjay]

some of the electrics are absolutly terrible but this one is really tidy, and even has earthing
if u look back a bit on the teakdoor thread you will see a few pics of the terrible wiring in multi million bhat houses
lots of people inc tourists get electrocuted there

 

[Silly Sausage]

Do they have ส่วน P over there?

Love the black breakers!

It sounds just like here in the UK
