bluesofa Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I know earth/ground is สายดิน - unless there's another colloquially used word? What are the words used for 'live' and 'neutral'? I need to explain to an alleged electrician, to make sure he connects them correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would try "Bork" for + or live and "Lop" for - or neutral. สายดิน "sai din" is the only one I know of but I'm not a Thai "electrician" ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 L - "fai" N - "neutron" G - "gound" (or "din") Hardly good Thai, but that's what all our sparks use. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nabbie Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Recently, Thai electrician just wrote in the broken english - "Power to ground" and obviously he means to say Earth or static electricity. For instance, the older ring fluorescent is good for earth. The newest Led circular can cause the static electricity easily because it uses the bad magnets attaching to the ceiling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 สายไฟ - Line สายนิวตรอน - Neutral สายกราวด์ - Ground As informed by a "competant" sparks ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Not wanting to appear pedantic (well I do) สายไฟ is also use for cable, wire. Is there an opportunity for misunderstanding by using this word? สายนิวตรอน and สายกราวด์ are just using the English terms. I got สายดิน from the warning notice on our electric shower, saying that an earth must be fitted to the unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Don't shoot the messenger! Just passing on what Sparky told me. Your man will do whatever he wants anyway, Thai electric not same Farang electric. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The extra attraction from the neutrons keeps the protons' electrical charges from tearing an atomic nucleus apart. So the reason for neutrons is to allow more than one proton to coexist in an atomic nucleus." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was clarification I was after, not shooting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just what I wanted to know. If you wanted home electrics positive is บวก (add)negative is ลบ (Subtract) The terminals on a battery are ขั้วบวก Positive ขั้วลบ Negative. So speaking to people สายบวก สายลบ works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
