autotransformer for voltage reduction, ensure that the
common terminal connects to the earth pole of the

cut the cable at the plug end and rewire it.
Cable color coding The color coding used in the cable depends on the cable
supplied.
Connecting a new plug If you are connecting a new plug, it should meet the local
safety requirements and include the following features:
• Adequate load-carrying capacity (see table of
specifications).
• Ground connection.
• Cable clamp.
