Safety Instructions



I recently purchased a few rewireable Europlugs from a German supplier:

I found the safety instructions they came with quite interesting:

A little over the top for fitting a plug but I guess they are fairly generic and driven by liability laws. I have put the German in as well for Mike (and others?).


Best regards

    What is classic zeroing in this context - is this grounded neutral / PNB ?





    That was my first question also . . . it looked like something that had got a little lost in literal translation!


    Seems that in Germany they call the use of a PEN klassische nullung or classic nulling whilst they call the used of separate PE and N conductors moderne nullung or modern nulling where the term nulling can be read as earthing.

    I'm wondering is this related to electrical installations in the former East Germany, where they might have had the former Eastern Block habit of using PEN conductors in final circuits?
