Hello, I have a 400V socket and I want to make 230V from it. I have a plug for this socket, when I dismantled there are 5 pins: l1 L2 L3 N and some strange sign where should I connect the cable so that there is 230V voltage in the socket ??

Yellow-green to the pin on the left brown on the right blue

Go to an electrician if you don't want to hurt yourself and your loved ones.

If you do not know what the L1 L2 L3 N markings and this strange mark are, you better not start trying to figure it out. you don't even know why it is 400 and 230 V. Save yourself and your loved ones

I assume that you have a 5-wire installation in your home. You connect the brown cable to L1, or L2, or L3 You connect the blue cable under N You connect the yellow-green cable to this strange sign (the thickest pin), it is a protective one.

Buddy Aleksander_01 to a 230v socket So how should I connect ?? Added after 10 [minutes]: Because there is a pin in the 230V socket and what color of the cable should I connect?

... and the pin should be at the top or the bottom .....?

..... and what will such a nest be like ...?

Buddy Aleksander_01, everything works as it should

Someone noticed that this socket was secured because it cannot be bigger than 16A.

You connect the blue cable under N
