    Laos - no earths, no RCDs... advice please

    Mate, I'm not taking the ----... there was always the one earth rod and a cable going into the wall from outside... but it hasn't been extended extended/distributed to any of the sockets or appliances. So its just sitting there in the brick wall somewhere looking pretty but is completely...

    Laos - no earths, no RCDs... advice please

    Thanks guys, I tried to take some photos of a transformer... i couldn't find the one that feeds my direct area... its all just cable spaghetti ontop of poles around my house. But it might give an idea. It'll probably be difficult to make anything out from the pics but its worth a shot :)

    Laos - no earths, no RCDs... advice please

    Thanks mate, so if this is the case as you described... I'll just put everything back the way it was. I think I'm just making things worse potentially. Back to cold showers... it's actually kinda nice haha. So on the primary side of the pole top transformer (facing the power station i guess?)...

    Laos - no earths, no RCDs... advice please

    Hi mate, Yeah I was thinking something like that too... I can only assume they earth the neutral at the distribution transformer... I'd imagine it would be an absolute pain in the arse for the power utility company (let alone the end users) if they didn't... considering the almost daily...

    Laos - no earths, no RCDs... advice please

    How do you edit posts here lol I was just thinking... in theory in this case.. wouldn't it actually be safer if the neutral was not earthed? Because that way my body would never complete a return path for any fault current appearing on a metal chassis. Or wait... for that the whole utility...

    Laos - no earths, no RCDs... advice please

    Hi guys, yes it is completely crazy... Well there is no way i can rewire the whole building myself... the landlord won't do it either. Why is it a bad idea to have multiple earth rods? Im not doubting you but would just like to know why? Earth loops or something like that? Surely having sone...

    Laos - no earths, no RCDs... advice please

    Hi everyone! :) I've just recently moved to Laos PDR and was shocked (no pun intended) to find that the whole house has no earth wire (i.e only Live and Neutral) going to all sockets and appliances... to top it all off also no RCD's... its completely ridiculous. I am not an electrician and...
