How to install 3 phase socket outlet?

18/09/2010 by 5 Comments

Socket outlet is used more widely in the home or industry to connect the electrical power to the equipment or appliances.We can found many types of socket outlet with nominal voltage rated for single and three phase.

Before we install any types of socket outlet,please calculate the full load ampere and make sure the socket outlet rated ampere is suitable with load.If not a socket outlet will burn or broken due to overload current.

This time, I will show how the correct way to install a socket outlet for three phases system.BUT before start any works…MAKE SURE all power supply already switch off or disconnected.Put the signage or tag at the  fuse box for safety purpose.
