I cant read it What are you not sure off? Also is there a rating plate somewhere? How many amps does it say it draws?I cant see an earthing point... I can see the two points going to what looks like a metal water pipe.Felix Edited 29/09/07 07:51 AM by Felix Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/38683-any-electritions-out-there-help-needed/#findComment-579554 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just put $40,000 of lightening protection in, lots of green and yellow wires, lets hope they are right! All metal buildings up here.As long as the input current isnt more the 10 amps, you can use a heavy duty lead, active - red/brown neutral - black/blue and there should be somewhere for earth to go, either a screw clamp or something like that. The pic is a little unclear, but that last screw in the terminal block should be the earth. just cant see what lines up with what very well.Felix Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/38683-any-electritions-out-there-help-needed/#findComment-579651 Share on other sites More sharing options...
