    In my opinion, the thermal switch must have been faulty, something could have been wrong with the motor itself (bad centration, maybe one phase burned out). Unless you cut logs of wood there for half a day, the equipment for almost 700 PLN would be expected to work with reasonable use.

    The thermal switch, even without protective zero, should work properly.

    I returned the engine to the service under warranty and I have already picked up a new one, because the factory has given a new engine under warranty. It was not written in the warranty what happened to the old one, only the entry "replacement of the engine with a new one". I didn't change anything in the power cable. I started the saw with a new motor and it ran without any problems for the whole day of cutting (the previous motor about an hour then died). Not once did it turn off on the thermal sensor. The engine warmed occasionally, but not as much as the previous engine. If it goes on like this, it's OK. Thanks again to everyone for the advice.

    NS! phase 1 L2 phase 2 and L3 phase 3 4 wire is N and the fifth is for powering the lamps

    L1, L2, L3 or as it used to be called R, S, T are phases, N is a "working" conductor in single-phase devices, but ... here to souls100 - since when can anything be powered with the fifth conductor? This cord is never working. I can see that everything is not very clear to you. The fifth conductor is the PE protective conductor. Ask your uncle google about such a wire and then maybe it will be clearer to you.

    I have read a lot here on a very good topic. but to be sure, I will ask.
    If I have a 230V welder with a very thick power cable (two wires with a diameter of about 2mm) that cannot be installed in an ordinary plug because it is too large and melts plastic, can I install the plug under the power socket and connect only two pins there: one phase and zero? ??

    Only in the power plug you have 5 pins. 3 lean phases, 1 skinny hedge, and one thick zero. So you have to connect one to the phase and one to the zero.

    N is the so-called zero wire that goes from the pole anyway! ??

    PE is a wire that is connected to the pins protruding from the sockets and then connected to the ground yes! ??

    PEN is a wire that is connected to the so-called zero from the pole and the pin protruding from the socket (grounding) yes! ??

    Do I think right?

    Let's say on a 230V installation. This N is our zero, PE is the ground. PEN is where there is no grounding and is connected to N.

    and I have a problem, I connected one wire to zero, the other to one phase to different, I tried and the welder does not work and by inserting wires from it to a regular socket it works without any problems
    The current to the power socket passes through an old type switch with a left-right switch, is it something that may be disturbing?
    I checked if there is current in the power socket and it is on 3 phases because the fourth is zero and I have no idea what it is about.

    The right-left switch is to change only one of the phases. Example. You have 3 phases in socket 1 2 and, for example, your motor is running clockwise. If you want to the right, you have to switch one of the phases. 1 3 2 and it's already getting you left. So there should be no difference in the operation of the welding machine.

    Check if there is N in the power socket. The right-left switch only switches the phase sequence and N should be directly. If the right-left switch is functional and the zero is disconnected, all 3-phase receivers will work properly in such a connection, but there will be no N in the plug, so there will be no N on the housing. For safety reasons, in such a case, the device housing should be grounded to this plug connected. However, if you use 1 of the phases and N from this socket, then when it is not connected directly in the right-left switch housing, you do not have N in the socket. In this case, nothing 1-phase did.

    Well, just removing the cover from the switch, right left, I see that N goes directly to the power socket, it does not pass through the switch. What needs to be done for it to work?

    Since you write that the welder works in socket 230, it receives 1 of the phases and N. You also write that by connecting this welder to socket 400 in the way you describe it does not work, there is a simple error somewhere. There are 3 phases and N to the power socket, and if it is a newer type of installation, then PE. There must be no phase in the 400V socket that you are using to connect the welding machine or it must not be zero (N). There's no other way. Try to replace the phase used to connect the welder to another one.

    take the bulb holder, 2 wires and connect to one phase and N. When it lights up, it means that something is kicked in the case, if not, it means that there is either no phase or zero (it burned out somewhere along the way).

    Hello

    I have a similar question :) at home, I would like to connect a cryptocurrency excavator that has a 1.2kW power supply, at home I have 4 phases and fuses like in the picture. My point is whether the installation will withstand the connection of such a device and possibly the maximum number of such devices that can be connected to this installation, the monthly kWh consumption by household appliances is about 260

    It was talking nonsense. You have 3 phases, but this in the context of the question has virtually no meaning. 1.2kW is a pimple. The first better electric kettle is> 2kW.
    How many devices can be connected depends on what else works on individual circuits and whether they would be connected to the same circuit.

    Well, the power itself is like a pimple, but I also read that you look at it differently when something works 20 minutes and different when non-stop :) and how to check what circuit it is connected to?

    230V * 16A = 3680W = max 3.68kW on one circuit
    230V * 10A = 2300W = max 2.3kW on one circuit

    I assume that
    16A is for sockets where there should be a 2.5mm2 cable, the load capacity of which is about 21A (it depends on the number of wires, whether in a pipe or in plaster, etc.)
    10A is for lighting where there should be a 1.5mm2 cable, the load capacity of which is about 16A

    It's simple, leaving one fuse on, turning off the others and checking where the electricity is. There does not necessarily have to be one fuse for one room, it depends how someone did it. These three connected together, the main protection probably cuts off the electricity everywhere, either to a power socket as you have, or to an induction hob or something similar that needs 400V max 16A

    Actually, lighting and sockets should be on separate circuits :D

    Well, I didn't think about disconnecting :) and seriously, I thought that somehow it goes differently :) but as far as i know, the kitchen is with the room where the excavator is supposed to be :) I currently have an induction hob in the kitchen and an electric oven, but originally there was an electric cooker in the kitchen that looked like a traditional gas oven :)

    The oven is on the same circuit as the induction hob?

    You can turn off this triple fuse and check.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the understanding of 230V and 380V current phases, particularly in relation to wiring configurations, voltage levels, and the operation of three-phase motors. Key points include the clarification that the phase-to-phase voltage in a three-phase system is 400V, while the voltage between phase and neutral is 230V. The necessity of changing one phase to reverse the direction of a motor is explained through the concept of phase shift in the alternating current (AC) waveforms. The conversation also touches on the implications of connecting devices to different voltage systems, the importance of grounding, and the differences between star and delta connections in motors. Additionally, users share experiences with specific devices, troubleshooting issues, and the significance of thermal switches in motor operation.
