I realise this a bit out of the scope of the forum. I am thinking of some sort of semi retirement with the uk based thai lady in rural thailand.
A look at her family home was a little shocking in many ways. A few comments would be welcome. A UK based sparky has offered to help with the specs when I can get some plans done.
Finding a genuine and competent local is proving challenging.
The house has no earth apart from thin cable from a shower unit to the concrete reinforcement/ no sensitive breakers apart from MCBs / no service fuses . Twin 1.5 radials with some some interesting terminations and junctions NO earth anywhere
The service cables come straight from the meter on a concrete post down the road and into a CU in the house.
Initially I want to get the incomers safe with an isolator. I am thinking of sending out a henly service fuse and getting the local power company to assist.
Any thought of what might follow. The lady commented about lightning protection. A type 1 SPD ? . Time delayed RCCB ?
