Older flex and premises wiring will use the following colors:Ĭheck out our extensive range of Power cords, AC adaptors, In-line switch mode power supply units and Power components from our on-line catalog. Note the "reversal" of the Active and Neutral wires depending on whether you are wiring a socket or a plug. The diagrams below show wiring for an Australian 240V mains cord plug and socket. The following diagram shows the Australian plug wiring configuration. 15Amp and 20Amp configurations of the mains plug and outlet are also defined by the standard. Australian Standards AS/NZS 3112:2000 and AS/NZS3112:2004 for Australian Mains Plugs now define the requirements for the insulation of the Active and Neutral pins of the plug. The Australian mains plug configuration was originally presented as provisional standard C112 in 1937, formalised as Standard C112 in 1938, redesignated AS3112 in 1981 and harmonized with the New Zealand standard and redesignated AS/NZS3112 in 1993. These important differences prevent the Argentina-compliant IRAM plugs from being legally sold/used in Australia as incorrect polarity may present an electrical safety hazard. Argentina also uses a similar 3-flat-pin configuration as Australia, but with slight dimensional differences and with the active and neutral wires being reversed. Although the configuration is similar to mains plugs used in mainland China, dimensional differences to the plug body may be incompatible with recessed cord socket and prevent Chinese-compliant CPCS/CCC (CCEE) plugs from being legally sold/used in Australia. Outlets and plugs for 240-volt appliances come in a variety of configurations that depend on the current rating of the circuit breaker. The 3-flat-pin plug is used in all States of Australia (including its external territories), New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands. When discussing electric dryers, a pigtail refers to the cord that extends from the back of the appliance. Standard 3-pin earthed power outlets are rated at 10Amps and are usually switched. Make sure that the neutral is split, or pig tailed prior to the gfci's or the first outlet will trip every time the second outlet is used you can even break the bridge connector on the outlet hot side of a duplex outlet and have 1 circuit on the top outlet and the other circuit on the bottom outlet, this is how I have wired many kitchens in the past.The domestic mains power supply in Australia is 240V AC, 50Hz. Last depending on the location you may need GFCI protection, multi wire circuits sometimes do have problems with MWBC's. Older three-prong outlets were designed to contain two live wires and one neutral. If the wiring is larger than #10 you will need to pigtail the larger wire with #10 or #12awg because 120v outlets usually are only listed for #10 awg max. Recently, 240-volt outlets have switched from three-prong to four-prong. I suggested a 20 amp breaker because most of the 240v outlets are 30 amp or larger using #10 wire or larger.
If you only want 1 circuit a single breaker just cap the red or the black at each end.
Now if you used a double pole you will have 2 ea 120v circuits wire the black white and ground to 1 outlet and the same white pig tailed, red and ground to a second outlet both circuits share the ground and neutral the neutral will not be overloaded because they are sperate legs that are 180 out of phase with each other.
THREE PRONG 240 VOLT PLUG INSTALL
Next you will need to install ether a single pole 20 amp breaker or a common trip double pole 20 amp breaker. Included with your purchase is a 5-year limited warranty. The cable is STW, 10/3, 30 Amp copper wire with a 600 Volt anti-cold weather jacket. It has NEMA 10-30P 3-prong dryer plug, usually seen in older home's dryer outlets, connecting to NEMA 14-30R, 4-prong female outlet.
First you will need to open the panel and verify the neutral is tied to the neutral buss. This AC WORKS dryer adapter is 1.5 feet in length. When you look at a normal 120-volt outlet in the United States, there are two vertical slots and. So you have a 4 wire feed if the barely wire was the bare copper. Three-prong plugs help guard against electric shock.
