Maybe it is PEN. I need to make sure and if the socket was 5p then can the cable be connected to L1, PE and N? And then there is no problem?

Since, as you claim, you do not know each other, I suggest: link

Of course, he does not know, because the PEN cable can be connected only in the 63A socket. Ps. Other adapters (e.g. from a 32A socket) with a fuse are also produced.

If I wrote to him that he had zero and not PEN, I would have to face a few-point battle which is actually the zero wire and PEN. It was easier that way.

Even if it is 10mm2 PEN and 4p 63A socket it must not be done. The splitting point cannot be in the extension cord or in the receiver - strictly prohibited. In this reduction we will not get PE even though PEN is in the socket.

Hi
At the beginning I will write that I am green on the subject of electrics / electronics, but I need to hook up, and at the output to have 230v.
I know there are small switchboards to buy that would do the trick.

But why overpay over PLN 100 if it is possible to make an adapter out of the available materials?
I have a 3-wire external cable to which a 230V socket is already mounted.

Can I install a 4p plug to the other end of the cable?

According to this scheme:

So L3 would not be connected to anything.
The question may be stupid for someone who knows each other, but will such "extension" work and is it safe?

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the feasibility and safety of creating a DIY adapter to convert a 4-pole 400V supply to a 230V output using a 3-wire cable and a 4P plug. The original poster, lacking expertise in electrical systems, questions whether it is safe to connect a 4P plug to a 3-wire cable, leaving one pole (L3) unconnected. Responses highlight the importance of understanding the PEN (Protective Earth Neutral) system and the risks associated with improper connections. It is emphasized that splitting the PEN wire in an extension cord or receiver is prohibited, and that adapters should be used with caution, particularly in relation to socket ratings and safety standards.
