as I could see, the Gun Fai Fa is using 16 mm2 Aluminium,

One problem, aluminium cabel is not so expensive, but there ist no special underground aluminium cabel with the name NYY.
Using 4 x singel aluminium cabel for underground could be a sollution, but as far as I know, aluminium is getting pretty hot, and if the cabels are very close together, there could be a problem.

So the standart copper cabel 4 x singel cabel in 16 mm2 (100 m roll) is costing about 3.200 Bt,


ok, nobody would check, if 4 singel cabels would come out of the underground, and would be connected with the meter,
don`t know, anybody did this,
but 100 m with 4 singel 16 mm2 copper is 12.800 Bt ./. 100 m NYYY 16 mm2 is 31.000 Bt,
( 100 m with 4 singel 19 mm2 aluminium is about 4.600 Bt)

as far, as I know.

So, taking a NYYY cabel is pretty much of a deal,
if thiefs are cutting again the new cabel at the meter,
connecting it to their pick up,
and doing a rip off.

Now, I know, it is a 15/45, while the cabel, connected to the meter, is a 16 mm.
So, it wouldn't make sense, to have anything else, than 16 mm to the house, right ?

Today, I checked a global house Rayong, but they only had a NYY 2 x 16 mm on 100 meter, for about 17.000 Baht.

I think, it is a 15/45 meter, but I have to check.
The distance between the old overhead connection point at the house and the CU is about 8 m,
but the main problem is, it wouldn`t be easy, to exchange the cable, it could be necessary, to open the wall inside of the house,
to bring the cable to the main breaker.

hello Crossy,

I have a problem, my overhead cable (4 lines, 3 phase, 100 m) had been stolen, when I was out, a couple of days.
When the house was build, the builder placed 16 mm2 copper, there was only the water heater, the electric cooker, water pressure and pump, as the main electric consumer.
Now, a few years later, there are the 4 aircons, the tv and some stuff, as additional consumer.

When planning to replace the stolen cabel, I thought about NYY 4x35 mm2 underground, based on concrete around the house, it would be 120 m.
Does it make sense, to connect them to the 16mm2 cabel, under the roof, that is going to the CU / main breaker, or does it bring a fire risk under the roof ?

Do you think, its a good  idea, not to take the expensive NYY 4x35 mm2 underground cabel, but to take a normal 4x35 mm2 cabel, that is placed into a massive garden hose, befor bringing it into the pvc pipe ?
