  • The earth wire, striped green and yellow, is connected to the terminal marked E; this should be the longest of the three wires so that it is the last to become detached if the cable is strained.
  • The live wire (brown) is connected to the terminal marked L.
  • The neutral wire (blue) is connected to the terminal marked N.

L=Live=Brown or Red wire.
