How to wire a 3 pin plug

Hi David,

Thanks for sharing this with the community! It's a great example of how to teach learners to do something hands-on virtually. Is there any way you'd be up for sharing your file so people can see how you've set this up?

Hey David, Nice job on the d n d interaction, and the spinning windmill at the end was a cool touch. That jump to time trigger comes in pretty handy for me too. 

Awesome example, David! You made it easy to follow along. Thanks for sharing! 

Thanks for sharing, great example with clear instructions!

That is fantastic, how did you do that?

Nicely done.  I tried it several times, wiring it in a different order.  Worked every time.  Perhaps label the wires to reinforce the name of each for the learner, since wire colours are varied in the real world.  Great job ! 

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to wire a 3-pin plug:

You will need:

• A 3-pin plug
• A screwdriver
• A wire cutter/stripper
• Three wires (live, neutral, and earth)

Steps:

1. Cut the wires to the appropriate length, leaving enough excess to work with but not too much that it gets in the way.
2. Remove about 2-3 cm of insulation from the end of each wire using the wire stripper. Make sure not to cut into the wire strands.
3. Open the plug by loosening the screws on the cover, and then lift the cover off.
4. Loosen the screws for the terminals, but do not remove them entirely. You should see three terminals: live (brown), neutral (blue), and earth (green and yellow).
5. Connect the live wire to the live terminal (brown). Make sure the wire is wrapped around the screw in a clockwise direction, so it tightens as you tighten the screw. Tighten the screw securely.
6. Connect the neutral wire to the neutral terminal (blue) in the same way as the live wire. Tighten the screw securely.
7. Connect the earth wire to the earth terminal (green and yellow) in the same way as the other wires. Tighten the screw securely.
8. Once all wires are connected, check that none of the wires are loose and that there is no exposed wire outside of the terminals.
9. Close the cover over the plug and secure it with the screws.

Note: It is important to ensure that the wires are connected to the correct terminals and that the screws are tightened securely. Failure to do so can result in electrical hazards or damage to equipment. If you are unsure or not confident, it is always best to consult a qualified electrician.

Very well done. I tried multiple times, each time connecting it in a different order.
