Electrical Connection & Wiring Diagrams
22
Machines supplied for use in the UK are fitted with a 3 pin plug conforming to BS1363, fitted
with a fuse conforming to BS1362 and appropriate to the current rating of the machine.
Machines supplied for use in other countries within the European Union are fitted with a 2 pin
Schuko plug conforming to CEE 7/7.
Machines supplied for use in Australia & New Zealand are fitted with a 3 pin plug conforming
to AS/NZS3112.
In all cases, if the original plug or connector has to be replaced for any reason, the wires
within the mains power cable are colour coded as follows:
230 V (Single Phase)
Brown:
Live (L)
Blue:
Neutral (N)
Green and Yellow: Earth (E)
The wire coloured brown must always be connected to the terminal marked ‘L’ or coloured
red. The wire coloured blue must always be connected to the terminal marked ‘N’ or coloured
black. The wire coloured green and yellow must always be connected to the terminal marked
‘E’ or with the earth symbol:
or coloured green / green and yellow.
It is important that the machine is effectively earthed. Some machines will be clearly marked
with the double insulated logo:
In this case there will not be an earth wire within the circuit.
In the case of the BS1363 plug for use in the UK, always ensure that it is fitted with a fuse
conforming to BS1362 appropriate to the rating of the machine. If replacing the original fuse,
always fit a fuse of equivalent rating to the original. Never fit a fuse of a higher rating than the
original. Never modify the fuse or fuse holder to accept fuses of a different type or size.
Where the current rating of the machine exceeds 13 A at 230 V, or if the machine is
designated for use on a 400 V 3 phase supply a connector conforming to BS4343 (CEE17 /
IEC60309) will be used.
