Amazing Electrics from around the world!!!!! (But not the UK!)

[Dave_]

Hello everyone,

Been off the site for a while as i'd been planning a trip with the missus, Im currently in Mexico, soon to be in Belize, and will be heading south through Central America then South America and on to USA, NZ, Fiji, OZ, South East Asia and India. About a year in total. Poor me.

Yeah i know im a lucky git. Ha ha ha.....

But because im a nice bloke, i thought i'd send some pics now and again of bodging beyond belief - purely for your entertainment!!!

So to start it off, heres one i saw in Cancun.

Some lovely sockets that one would put inside their house, going through some nice C50 breakers, on a nice super bendy conduit, tapped straight off the LV grid. Nowt wrong with that.

I have a suspicious feeling this will only get worse. They have 2 pin socket outlets in lighting pendants here. Yes pendants! Nowt wrong with that either!! haha!!

Lenny can you make this is a sticky so i can keep em coming? good way to stay in touch and remind everyone i dont have to set my alarm for a year. what day of the week is it again?

oh bugger.... i cant seem to get the image to work..... does it have to be off an online source? it wants a URL.... i never was that good with computers.... can somebody please enlighten me...!!

You could try uploading them to Photobucket.com

It will then give you a link beneath the picture to post on to the forum...

Oh, it's free too.

Good, because Dave...I hate you.......Laugh.

Have a great trip man.

You will love the Asian electrics. (look out for the bonding system in Indian hotels).

Enjoy.



And if your going to make the effort to visit India then don't miss-out on Nepal whilst your in that part of the world.

Regards.

I didnt have my camera on me at the time, but in Mexico you can buy domestic lighting pendants that have a socket outlet on the side(yes you read that correctly) they sell pole mounted HV transformers off the shelf to anybody, one i saw was 75 KVA... and in Belize (current location) there is a 10 second blackout when they turn the streetlights on.......
