hello
I live in switzerland and have a quick euro wiring question if anyone can help. sometimes its just easier to ask in english than in french.
i want to hook up my new (euro 220) washing machine but the place we've moved into has no plug receptacle but just a on/off switch for hard wire application and that goes back to the panel with a dedicated breaker.
inside the switch it has the numbers and connections.
1-black
3=red
5=white
on the bottom of the switch where i want to add my wires, ive done the following.
2=blue
4=brown
6=i left empty
yellow/green is paired with the existing ground in the box.
is this right? or should 6=brown?
im a bit stumped why the wiring is red,black and white to begin with as euro code is red=brown , black=blue and yellow/green=earth
any help appreciated.
thanks
