As the colours of the wires in main leads may not correspond with the

The wire which is coloured Green & Yellow must be connected to the Earth 
terminal marked with either the letter E, the earth symbol or coloured

marked with the letter N or coloured Blue or Black. 
The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal

If in doubt, consult the instructions provided with the equipment or contact

should be
protected by a 3A or 5A fuse. Larger conductors would normally require 
13A types, depending on the connection method used. 
Any exposed wiring from a cable, plug or connection that is engaged in a 
live socket is extremely hazardous. If a cable or plug is deemed hazardous, 
turn off the mains power and remove the cable, any fuses and fuse 
assemblies. All hazardous wiring must be immediately destroyed and 
replaced in accordance to the above standard.
