Thread: Electrical wiring, the proper way.

10mm cable has an ampacity exceeding 40 amperes.

230V * 40A = 9.2 kW

That is a pretty hefty load. Wouldn't want to pay that electric bill.

Bowie, we are talking about 10mm cable for mykthemin's oven. I don't know how much he uses his oven but ovens tend to be used for only a few hours a day in domestic situations.

Neverna,

I'm not following the pissing contest going on in this thread. Don't care to.

If 10mm cable is installed in a residential building it would be special purpose for a high load device such as an oven, and, yes, ovens are not constant use devices. Few ovens in my parts of Thailand - propane gas for cooking.


In Terry's defense, his opening post was good protocol in that he was commenting on the Bangkok Electric Office residential model.

As per my earlier post - Electric Code(s) exist and need to be followed for safety reasons - but, all-in-all, it can be overwhelming, the USA 2014 National Electric Code is 910 pages, 9 chapters, more than 150 articles, single spaced and not in a large easy to read format. Truly an amazing amount of regulatory criteria.

Far better left to the pros.


On a lighter note - most electricians are good electricians, the bad ones don't live too long.

^^ I agree, Bowie. I actually asked Terry on page 1 about the electrical code/regs for Thailand. I think it would be very useful for many foreigners to know what they are or if they even exist.

Note to all: I'm not asking Terry to return to Klong Toeh head Office Electrical Department to ask them.

Perhaps Splitlid knows something about Thai electrical regulations.

I'd like to believe that is true, Terry, but where have you shown that the wiring code in Thailand is "the same as in Australia"? Have you ever seen a copy of the Thai wiring code? Apparently not, but I suppose you don't actually mean 'code' as in 'regulations', do you?

Anyway, maybe I'll take a trip to Klong Toeh head Office Electrical Department in Bangkok one day to have a look for myself. Thanks for the heads up. And thanks for starting this thread, Terry. A good topic for discussion.

If I would of had my camera with me and snapped a pik the picture would indeed show what I am relating in this thread.

The Size of the cabling and how a house is wired is identical to how its done in Australia .

I talking residential installs only not heavy duty industrial ovens and shit.

Electrical Engineer EH.

What an absolute fukin tosser that tool was.

Stand up Terry you are muffling your voice...

Too dangerous for words to state that as a general rule for Thailand.

Get out of this part of the forum NOW!...and stick to the lighter side of life and the shit you do know.

^

Erm, no its not.

The household wiring is the same innit. Need that Picture EH.

Fuk it, I might just take a trip back out there, take the pic and post the fuker up.

Fix you fukers right up then.

^^ You are one serious dumbfuck if you think that regulations are correct or adhered to in Thailand...Let's take the 15A meter that allows you 45A because them Euro dudes allow for triple safety....

You need more fires to fight or something...you dumb arse fuck?

Terry should be banned for at least a month for posting the most dangerous shit I have ever seen on this forum in last god knows how many years....in one of the more serious parts...

Hell he is worse than piwannoy at his most offensive...

Time-out Terry and THINK what the fuck you have said....without a clue apart from being on a course that you FAILED!!!

Troy;

You didn't throw out the instruction manual with the box, did you?

^They are wired differently, apparently...

^ The wife came with an instruction manual??...

I just pressed all the buttons until she opened her legs....

The EXPERT without a clue has spoken, complete idiot.

^Again, to whom are you speaking?...

Many years ago in the UK, I re-furbished my house, new kitchen and all.

I got one of those shiny electric fan assisted ovens. They wouldn't install it until I had a larger electric cable installed (30 amp?)

Jesus mate, you're pissed again EH.

I did not say that at all you fukin muppet.

All I have said all along is that the wiring Mock up of a standard house install on display at head office klong Toey Bangkok is correct and spot on.

Wish some of you coonts could actually fukin read.

Oh yes,

You are the Electrical Engineer who tells us 10mm cable is correct for a House oven. .

You tool, When talking ovens in standard House installs 4 mm is fine except if its a heavy draw which it will not be for the average fokin family.

10 mm would be the width of your cock, that's about it.
