Awesome, thanks for the replies. I will dig in tomorrow and report back on the findings. |
| TheShaner:
Also, I'm in the states. When I cut off the plug of the blekin smart powerstrip, if you stuck wires that resulted into the sockets they were intended for on the wall, it was (looking at the wall socket, green left black right, white down. Not sure if that clarifies anything or not |
| MonMotha:
Wait, so now you have a green wire, not a red one? Green on the "big" blade, black on the "small" blade, and white on the "round" contact would work, if normal color coding was used, but it's wrong. That flips ground and neutral. You're going to have to measure things all the way back to the outlets on the strip to figure this out, I think. No guarantees that they used normal wire colors based on what you've provided. |
| TheShaner:
Sorry about the confusion. I must have been drunk when I wrote out the color schema on the wires. It is actually green black white. Here is exactly what I have and how I have it wired currently (which isnt working.)' |
| TheShaner:
So I think I have it figured out, and I am surprised I havent blown myself up. I will wait for confirmation from someone on the board who truly knows what they are talking about, but Here is what I am thinking: Black - Hot - Connected to P on the diagram (left most) White - Neutral - Connected to N on the diagram (Right Most) Green- Ground - Connected to E on the diagram (Center) Can someone verify or disprove this? |
