I would say could be or never turned the power off to the pump, before trying to work on it and as we know water and electricity dont mix... A lesson, dont fk with electrical kit unless you know exactly what your doing, the kit is switched off and isolated and confimed no current flow... these are the basic rules, but even more important in Thailand, as with the BS wiring, dodgy grounding, you may think everything is off and still get a "belt" been there done that in Thailand and i was lucky |

Been fried once in Thailand and it was a alarming sensation. The circuits inside my convection cooker were damaged and I was shocked when I added the coconut milk to the curry. Sounds like an awful way to go and even sadder with young kids involved.

I put a separate ground spike for the oven as the case was stainless, drilled a hole in the floor and slab and drove a copper spike into the ground Under the oven and connected a ground wire direct to the chassis for the exact reason you mention, i am not frightened of working with power and can do certain work, but doing it in Thailand scares me sh@tless, as your never quite sure how they have wired something |
