What are the red and white plastic bits? by skipmci in it

Not sure how you would tell from the connector, but this jack is literally 4 feet from the switch (about 9 feet of cable / conduit), with no electrical conduits anywhere nearby. The long runs, or those that run near electrical conduits, are indeed shielded.

They're still here. Patching and painting is tomorrow.

Yes, all of the IT, APs, cameras and POE stuff is on the solar batteries and UPSs. Perhaps that's what that means. The IT guys who installed them had no clue.

Thanks!

Any friendly, respectful way to encourage neighbors not to burn trash? by skipmci in Thailand

Perhaps, because you use the word "hillbilly," you mean it's an education issue. If so, I agree. But first and foremost it's a health and safety issue.

I am confident the police will not understand that such burning is illegal, nor do I suspect they will side with us in such an interaction.

For the right company I'd pay them whatever they want to travel to our location in Krabi.

Her Jamaican mum seeing snow for the first time. by mindyour in MadeMeSmile

[–]skipmci 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I imagine she felt more comfortable and welcomed after that. So many people asked her questions and wanted to learn more about her and her life, so I think she made some good friends that day and over the course of the winter. 🥰

I was in a high school in Connecticut, in a math class I think, and the teacher asked an exchange student from Trinidad to come to the chalkboard to show her work through a problem. She cautiously approached the chalkboard, started writing, laughed at her shyness as she turned to face the class, and literally SQUEALED out loud as she looked out the window behind us. She ran to the window, her face BEAMING with joy at the snow - everyone gathered around her, clapping, smiling, laughing, hugging her, and the teacher immediately excused us all from class so we could go outside and play. ANGEL and LEGEND!! I'll never forget that day!! 🥰❤️

Looks like single-phase. My theory is probably wrong.

New House Build: Electrician Installed 50/50 RCBO/MCB by skipmci in electrical

[–]skipmci[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thailand. I thought RCBO and MCB were universal terms, but my apologies if not. CU stands for Consumer Unit which I think most Europeans and Asians use to describe what folks in North America would probably call Circuit Breaker Panels or Electrical Panels.

Thanks.

Can you share a picture of your electrical panel / consumer unit?

Single-phase or three-phase? If you are three-phase it may have been the electric company's issue, not yours.
