Your "Hitachi (instant restart)automatic washing machine" isn't so much about it defying physics as you displaying your ignorance... but I digress. All motors and compressors are inductive loads regardless of size, ie. small motor = small load and (in case you haven't worked it out yet) large motor...

Problem is you people have no idea what it is all about! Cct breakers are installed to protect the CABLE not the appliance and sized as such. My 80 amp isolators are there for my 15 mm 2 feeders. F@£k it's hard. No helping some people. Never mind, Multinationals including Chevron Thailand paid me th...

And I might like to add:- See the photo of my home made, 19 year old domestic distribution panel and note the protection. Waiting ---- Waiting ---- Waiting ---- ......

Trivial BUT: You have the color codes incorrect (Not to say your GPO or plug top is wired as per Thai wiring rules???) BLACK is Active (Line) GREY is Neutral And typical Thai, the earth just swinging around doing nothing!!!! IMHO:- Not a great photo. BTW I certainly hope the device is installed in a...

Online 90 day reports still being processed within 24 hours, just completed mine - the 2nd in a row - a monumental event, never had 2 in a row in the past!

Suburban and country branches of most of the major banks are closing across the country. The so called "Boutique" banks are being the most ruthless now only operating one branch in each of the capital cities. I have an account with SunCorp-Metway which I opened in Suburban Perth. Now, the only state...

Was in Udon mid week for an over nighter and shopping. Out of the blue I was contacted by my cardiologist from Adelaide just inquiring into my current health status.

About 15 months ago I bought my current 500 pack of Allopurinol (100mg) from the pharmacy about 200 metres north of the Ban Huay market - the one opposite the Krung Thai Bank. They offered a choice of three brands (all generics), and I chose the middle price of TBH380. Yesterday I went back for a f...

IMHO they always appeared to be 'scapegoats' - if for nothing else the lazy, inept, corrupt and comical police investigations.

We get fogged twice a year, TW supervises the activity as a part of her roll as the Tambon Health Inspector. Oh when I say "we" I don't mean our property, it's out of bounds - just the over spray sends my hay fever out of control.

Then we are subject to this news item:- PPTV 36 reported that on the 4th of December 2019, seven years after the accident, two witnesses gave new information. They said that sources at the public prosecutors' office indicated that these were an air force man with the rank of "air marshall" and a man...
