    Hello, I have a 5-pin power socket plug. And now L1 ... L3 is the individual phases! But... What is N and such ||-

    such an inverted dash and the letter T is what is mass or N is mass!

    Hello.

    N is neutral -> former "zero" -> blue

    The thickest one is for the protective conductor -> yellow-green

    um... Mariusz Ch. thank you very much, and maybe you know because I have to change an old metal 4-bolt flat muff to a 5-bolt round one. And now I know that I probably have to omit the grounding, but on the sockets of these new ones there are markings L1 L2 L3 NI is "T" with a line on top, which is grounding. And on this is RST and Zero. You can compare it somehow :?: :?:

    Help what! Be PEOPLE! :D

    GREETINGS AND THANKS

    You just have to be careful not to confuse the phase with zero or grounding and the rest will be fine! If the motor then goes in the opposite direction, you will have to swap 2 phases! Remember: RST instead of L1 L2 L3!!!

    Hello.

    From this you can see that you have a four-wire installation and a TN-C system.
    L1 -> R
    L2 -> S
    L3 -> T
    O -> N and here we additionally connect the metal housing of the receiver and omit the protective one

    or omit N and use the guard pin.

    greetings

    If you are to convert the installation from four-wire to five-wire:
    Old Plug-New Plug
    Phase R-L1 Phase
    Phase S-L2 Phase
    Phase T-L3 Phase
    Zero N-PE Protective (Thick plugs; Cable should be yellow-green)
    (None)-N Neutral (Blue short to yellow/green)

    Hello, Mariusz Ch. you messed up a bit, we don't skip anything in the installation!
    in the new socket, connect the neutral and protective terminals with a bridge and connect the neutral wire there, the plug is equipped with a cable with five wires in which the wires are connected correctly, i.e. the protective one is the body of the device and the neutral is its "working zero" (control, signaling). A device connected in this way, transferred to any other installation, even with a "differential" will work properly. :)

    Hello.

    Old four-wire installation. Only the plug/socket is new. Where is the differential and separated PE and N?

    greetings

    ps Pointless post-posting. :cry:

    I maintain what Mariusz Ch wrote. The topic is exhausted, it should have been closed a long time ago, because I work in this profession, the connection method will be correct.

    Hello, if you work in this profession, you should know that the receiver (what is connected to the plug) must be made so that it can work in a "new" installation and vice versa, i.e. something brought home must work properly - an electrician must know it!

    I only know one thing that if a guest plugs into the differential somewhere in someone's place the way you gave him, the differential will be beating.

    That's how I read it and I don't believe my eyes, such a simple connection, and so much discussion. Of course my friend Mariusz is right

    Hello, I am also amazed if you read carefully what I wrote in the socket there is a bridge between the neutral and the protective one and from the plug to the device the installation is made with a separate protective circuit, this is a standard, when buying any device it is made like this

    (the bridge is only in the socket)

    Regards

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around understanding the markings on a 5-pin power socket, specifically the roles of L1, L2, L3 (phases), N (neutral), and the inverted dash with T (grounding). Participants clarify that N represents neutral (blue wire), while the thickest wire is for the protective conductor (yellow-green). The conversation also addresses the transition from a four-wire to a five-wire installation, emphasizing the importance of correctly connecting the neutral and protective terminals. There is a consensus on the necessity of ensuring proper connections to avoid issues with devices, especially when interfacing with different installations. The need for a bridge between neutral and protective terminals in the new socket is highlighted, along with the importance of adhering to electrical standards for safety and functionality.
