Timer module - side view.If operating higher amperage circuits than 16A, it is usual to use one of these coupled with a relay . The relays come in the same standard rack module. Timer cost: about 2,000 baht. Digital versions available.jazzmanMar 02, 2007
Timer_module.jpg
Timer module.An analog timer to fit on the rack inside the MCB housing. This one will carry 16A. An MCB (of the same or a lower amperage should be inserted in the circuit AFTER the clock the MCB will trip out before the overload wrecks the timer. Can be used for anything from perimiter lighting to pool filtration. Needs to be coupled to a relay if high amperage switching above 16A.jazzmanMar 02, 2007
2-pole_MCB.jpg
MCB: 2-pole master SwitchA modular automatic Minature Circuit Breaker of the 2-pole (Live and Neutral) type. All Consumer Unit 'fuse boxes' start with one of these which feeds the MCBs for the other circuits. Notice the amperage of this one.jazzmanMar 02, 2007
MCB_16A.jpg
Minature Circuit BreakerSide and front view of a modular MCB. This one is for 16A. These MCBs are standard equipment in many countries now. They replace fuses. They never need changing. If they trip out, just reset the switch - after troubleshooting the reason of course!jazzmanMar 02, 2007
Yellow_PVC_wide_radius.jpg
Conduit: wide angle bendAlthough Thai electricians will rarely use conduit in the roof space, they will if you insist. Conduit is made of PVC pipe similar to the blue water pipe. To make the diference clear, electrical conduit id coloured YELLOW. It is available in the same sizes as PVC water pipe from 3/8" (sam hun) up. All the normal connectors, T, elbows, and WIDE RADIUS BENDS are produced.

Conduit is so cheap it's not worth cuting corners on.

bTicino escutcheonsEscutcheon plates for bTicino flush switches/sockets. The base units all have 3 holes. The large base units all have 6 holes and tha escutcheons cme in 4 or 6 hole versions.jazzmanFeb 28, 2007
bTicino_1-hole_LED.jpg
bTicino 1-hole escutcheonThe base plates all have three holes. This is a single hole escutcheon with a rocker switch with LED. We tried several methods of showing the workers how to paint stuff in the house without getting paint everywhere. We tried masking tape on the window and door frames, we tried removing these escutcheons but the men put them back on. During the night Jazzman removed them, covered them with 'Gladwrap' cling foil and put them back on. We'll see what happens...jazzmanFeb 28, 2007
bTicino_3_module_unit.jpg
bTicino 3 module unitThis is the bTicino 3 module unit (without its escutcheon). Notice how it is not important in Thailand to have things nice and level. The modules in this unit are (from L to R) minature dimmer 480 baht each. Empty hole because this unit will receive a 2-hole escutcheon. 2-pin + earth version of the many different kinds of sockets used in Thailand, cost 42 baht
The unit with its escutcheon costs 17 baht and includes the screws.

bTicino 6 module unitThis is the bTicino 6 module unit (without its escutcheon). Notice how it is not important in Thailand to have things nice and level. The modules in this unit are standard one-way ocker switches costing 24 baht each. The unit with its escutcheon costs 80 baht and includes the screws.jazzmanFeb 28, 2007
