Marius Posted October 13, 2009 Share How do I get those 3 red wires into that one opening again?? or should I strip the housing away and twirl them together and then just stick it in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kansas Posted October 13, 2009 Share How do I get those 3 red wires into that one opening again?? or should I strip the housing away and twirl them together and then just stick it in there? can work but do it the right way. As per paper. Forget about the plug wires use the ones from the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leet22 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Col its a 3 phase stove. You need to connect all 3 reds together. Its fine it wont blow. But it must be a hell of a stove to run on 3 phase. we run 3 phase in the kitchen . Its not ideal to do it but will work. Get a sparky to come in a run a 3 phase point to the back of the stove will be better in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marius Posted October 14, 2009 Share Ok, so we went back and bridged the places were the red cables were connected, connected the black to black and we left the earth as it was cuz I did not know were to put it... So we switched the mains on again, switched one plate on and jumped back a bit, nothing blew up, then switched another plate on, this time not jumping that far back. Then switched the stove on and everything worked...Then I wanted to push the stove back and then I touched the side of the stove it shocked me!!! So now, I took more pics, what do we need to do, is it thr earth wires fault it shocked me?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connect it by the green question mark. Just try and get insulated wire to replace the copper ones you used to bridge. Glad I could help.Kansas20092009-10-14 01:06:02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
