How to connect a ground plug
Another article in the "ELECTRIC" section - I propose to talk about connecting an electrical plug to a regular cable, we will consider the option with grounding, because I personally consider this option the only correct one to use. Where do we need such knowledge? Usually large electrical appliances go without plugs - such as water heaters, some household appliances (ovens), and some lighting fixtures. In general, you need to know how it connects, and it's quite simple ...
CONTENT OF THE ARTICLE
About power
First of all, guys, let's talk about maximum power. Why am I starting this conversation, it's simple - many people try to connect the plug to the induction hob! Guys, this can be dangerous - the surface consumes about 7 kW and not all plugs can withstand it, especially if you have a regular 16A plug, for an "induction" you need a 40A plug or a direct connection - we read this article, the usual one will simply melt from such a load !
This simple example shows us first you need to estimate the power of your electrical appliance. If an oven, then there is a consumption of about 2.8 kW, if a water heater (I mean the storage type) - there is 1.5 - 2 kW, a 16A plug is enough for them. In general, the maximum voltage should be written on the package, here is a photo.
What tools will be needed
Take a screwdriver, preferably a Phillips one.
A knife (you can use a plastic penknife) in order to cut and strip the cable.
Now the process
We bought the right option, there is also a cable 3 X 2.5 mm, flat (we will connect it).
We unwind the case, usually it rests on one bolt, either from the side (like mine), or from below.
We see the contact group - “phase” and “zero” are connected to the main fasteners, the contact in the middle is grounding.
Now we clean the cable. We need to achieve three separate strands with stripped wires at the end, about 1 cm, no more needed. We look at the photo.
Now the blue and brown wire (there may be variations - red and blue), we connect to the main contacts.
The remaining yellow (sometimes green-yellow or white) is connected to the ground connector.
All contacts must be stretched well so that the wires sit well.
After that, we put everything in the case, collect it. Then screw on with a bolt.
That's all the fork is assembled. As you can see, nothing complicated.

On this I will finish, read our construction site.

Alexander Goncharuk:
Replacing the plug on the cord or installing the plug is as follows. 1. First, they clean the ends of the wire going to the plug with a knife, solder (if there is a soldering iron :)) and make rings. 2. Unscrew the screws on the contact legs of the plug. 3. Screw the ends of the wire, sealed with a ring, to the contact legs of the plug. 4. Unscrew one screw of the bracket attached to one half of the housing, and move the bracket to the side. 5. Insert the body halves with a bracket into the hollows, and the ends of the wire with contact legs, turn the bracket and press the wire with it. Screw the screw into the hole in the bracket. 6. Close the assembled part of the plug with the other half of the body, insert a screw into the hole in the body and twist it on the other side of the body with a nut.
Replacing a non-separable plug Non-separable plugs are an electrical cord made of rubber or plastic, which is molded in one piece with the plug. In the event of failure of a non-separable fork, proceed as follows. The unusable plug is cut off, and the connecting ends of the cord, after being sealed with a loop, are attached to the collapsible plug according to the above method.
Particular attention should be paid to the connection of the ground wire (it is striped yellow-green) - it must be connected to the grounding contacts of the plug, and not to the pins. Miracle:

everything is spelled correctly... but why did the fork melt? the problem is somewhere
old crap:
Take a good look at the socket (tighten the contacts and, if possible, scrape the cheeks - carbon deposits are possible there.
OK:
Cut off the old plug, disassemble the new one, strip the wires, connect the wires to the plug, yellow-green must be to the grounding contact (in the center as a rule), assemble the plug, plug it into the socket.
Sergey Dmitriev:
It is not recommended to turn on the washing machine through an extension cord. It’s better to make an outlet for the washing machine according to your mind - otherwise the plugs will melt - and it’s not far from the fire.
OilTop:
Blue (N - neutral) - neutral wire, common wire in a three-phase connection scheme Brown (L - live) - phase wire Yellow-green (G ground) - grounding, external ground loop having 0-10 Ohm resistance with a common wire.
regarding the phase: the fact is that in second-generation euro plugs, the polarity of the inclusion is no longer observed, therefore it does not matter which side the live wire is on. phasing is now observed only in three-phase plugs.
Hooligan:
Left to right or top to bottom. Phase is zero.
Igor:
And when you turn on the iron, do you also observe the phase?
Andrey Sazonov:
The difference is that “zero” can come into contact with the case, and if there is no grounding, it can shock a little with current (as sometimes happens with Russian refrigerators), and yes, brown is phase, striped is earth. If the plug is somehow unique, i.e. it can only be turned on in one position (you can’t turn it), then it matters, if not, then it doesn’t matter)
j amba:
blue and brown connect - green - this is the ground (if you have provided it, connect to the ground
KERK:
Imagine that you have a Euro plug with a wire not to the side, but straight ... Where then will you have the right pin, and where is the left one? DON'T WORRY, it's not important. The main thing is to connect the protective conductor correctly, to the center. contact

Truculentus:
GROUND (GROUND) Ground wire - Must be green/yellow. In the switchboard (RShch) it is worth connecting to the ground bus, to the body and the metal door of the shield. As for the junction box, there the connection goes to the ground wires from the lamps and from the ground contacts of the sockets. The "ground" wire does not need to be connected to the RCD (residual current device), in connection with this, RCDs are installed in houses and apartments, since usually wiring is done with only two wires
ZERO (NEUTRAL) Wire "zero" - should be blue. In the switchboard, it must be connected to the zero bus, which is indicated by the Latin letter N. All blue wires must be connected to it. The bus is connected to the input by means of a meter or directly, without additional installation of the machine. In the distribution box, all wires (with the exception of the wire from the switch) of blue color (neutral) are connected and do not participate in switching. To the sockets, the blue “zero” wires are connected to the contact, which is indicated by the letter N, which is marked on the back of the sockets.
PHASE The designation of the phase wire is not so clear. It can be either brown, or black, or red, or white. In the apartment switchboard, the phase wire coming from the load consumer is connected to the lower contact of the circuit breaker or to the RCD. In the switches, the phase wire is switched, during shutdown, the contact closes and voltage is supplied to consumers. In phase sockets, the black wire must be connected to the contact, which is marked with the letter L.
Yellow is redundant. Brown and blue can be connected to the plug as you like.
Anat.:
cut off 10 cm of this wire and take it to your uncle electrician together with the plug, ask him to connect it, you will do it, you will come home and connect it to the rest, insulate the wires

Alexey Pastukhov:
one thing on the fingers, but in reality you probably have another .... need to call...
Dmitriy:
Most likely like this: yellow is grounding - to the central terminal (to the petals). The other two wires are on the side contacts. If this wire comes from the device, then there should be no problems. If there is something else, you need to “ring” with an indicator or a multimeter. Since you can make a mistake - anything can happen. But if the wire is from the device, then the protective ("earth") core is most likely marked yellow. One of the other two is phase, the other is zero. It is impossible to say more precisely by the color of the insulation, because some electricians, contrary to the recommendations, hang the phase on any core.
Modern designations: blue - zero, black - phase, yellow-green - protective.
How to change the plug on the wire video, photo, instruction
Replacing a broken euro plug
If your electrical plug has melted or one of the pins has broken, the replacement technology is as follows:
We cut off the euro plug that needs to be changed and remove the outer sheath of the cord (about 5 cm from the end). We clean all 3 cores by 15-20 mm. We talked about how to properly remove the insulation in the corresponding article.
We twist the cores and cut them so that 10 mm of bare wire remains, which is enough to change the plug with your own hands. For better contact, bend the copper ends with pliers, as shown in the photo below.
And now the most important thing is connecting the wires. As a rule, the cord for connecting a washing machine, refrigerator or other household appliances has 3 pins: blue - zero, yellow-green - ground, the rest - phase
To correctly change the plug with your own hands, the “ground” must be connected to the central contact, the remaining two to the pins, polarity is not important here. Next, you need to clamp the cable (namely it) with a plastic jumper, which will fix it in the seat. Lastly, the euro plug body is assembled, which is fastened with one screw.

Yellow-green is the earth. If you do not have such a wire in the outlet, then there is nowhere to connect it. There are two wires left. And this is a matter of technology
Anton Levitin:
Gray and blue on the pins, and yellow-green on the ground contact, which is on the sides of the plug!
Petr Komyagin:
If your house is not new where there is euro wiring, then you can bite off a striped yellow-green, this is grounding. Plant gray and blue on the plug contacts.

As a rule, yellow-green is the earth, but sometimes they make mistakes ... (especially if someone repaired the thread) It’s better to ring the tester just in case. God saves man, who save himself.

brown with blue is phase and zero, brown is phase, nothing bad can happen, yellow with a green stripe is grounding, all wires in the collapsible plug have bolts and grounding, including.
