  1. the same way that you wire a 5amp plug. No really, if it's a new appliance green/yellow is earth (the same colour as earth?!), blue is neutral and brown is live. The brown wire goes to the pin next to the fuse and the yellow/green one goes to the top pin, whilst the neutral is the one left over.


  2. The same as you would a 5 amp plug.

  3. Search on the net for a digaram so that you get it right >

  4. Same as any other plug. Earth (green/white) at the top. Live (brown) next to the 13 amp fuse. Neutral (blue) in the other one.

  5. ok you have 2 wires or three in your hand, if its three pay attention if its two you cant go wrong

    the brown or red goes to the fuse terminal on the right hand side.

    the blue or black goes to the oposite side

    .

    if you have an earth a yellow green strip thats the earth and must go up to the top pin the only one turned 90deg. from the others

    basicaly fuse is live other is nuetral and the threrd is earth the top of the plug furthest away from the cord grip. good luck.

  6. brown to live      black or blue to nutral     yellow and green to earth

  7. with the cover removed , Live to  the right(brown)fused.

    neutral to the left (blue)

    Earth to the top (green/yellow) make sure connections are tight otherwise heat will be created causing problems

  8. And remember - just because it's rated as a 13 amp plugtop, that doesn't mean that it must have a 13 amp fuse in it.  Check the rating for the appliance.
