The wiring method of a five-prong socket usually depends on the specific type and purpose of the socket. The following are general wiring steps, but please note that these steps may need to be adjusted depending on the specific model and design of the outlet. Before performing any electrical work, make sure the power is turned off and proper safety measures are taken. If you are not familiar with electrical work, it is recommended to have a professional electrician do it.
1.Prepare the tool:
Make sure you have the appropriate tools such as flathead screwdrivers, scissors (wire strippers), etc.
2.Open the socket panel:
Use a flathead screwdriver to pry open the socket panel and unscrew the screws of the saddle terminals so that the wires can be accessed.
3.Identify the wires:
Usually, the red or brown line is the fire wire (L), the blue line is the neutral line (N), and the yellow and green line is the ground wire (PE).
4.Wiring Steps:
For a five-pin socket with a switch, if the switch is used to control the power of the socket on/off:
Connect the FireWire (L) to the L terminal block of the switch (FireWire inlet).
Connect the L1 terminal block of the switch (FireWire outlet) to the L-terminal block of the two-pin socket (FireWire terminal).
Connect the neutral wire (N) directly to the N terminal block (neutral terminal) of the receptacle.
If the switch is used to control the luminaire, the socket is not controlled by the switch:
Connect the live wire (L) to the L terminal block of the switch.
Connect the L1 terminal block of the switch to one of the terminal blocks of the lamp head.
Connect the neutral wire (n) to the other terminal block of the lamp head.
Connect the live wire (L) to the L terminal block of the two-prong socket.
Connect the neutral wire (N) to the N terminal block of the outlet.
5.Fixed wires:
Make sure the wire is securely attached to the terminal, then tighten the screws of the saddle terminal.
6.Mounting Panel:
Reinstall the socket panel in place, making sure all wiring is correct.
7.Check:
After the power is restored, use a voltage tester to check that the socket is properly wired to make sure there is no short circuit or misconnection.
Keep in mind that electrical work is risky, and if you're not sure how to do it, or don't have the relevant experience, it's important to have a professional electrician install it. Safety first. Sockets
