No problemo. hmmm, 230Vac eh? I think (but you should check with your
whiz friends to make sure) that your 3 wire circuits are 230Vac hot, a
neutral and a chassis ground (if a third wire is used), going by the 15A
BS-5733 standard. North America's 220Vac is different and wouldn't work.
Is this what you use?

I thought S.Africa also used a Euro standard in some regions. My
directions won't be specific to pin number.


Thanks Netmax

Yup that is what we use and I have checked some of my appliances and they
all say 230VAC at 50Hz

The standardard for wiring in SA is that all the plug recepacles are wired
for earth leakage which is the same as the ground fault I presume. I have
nevee seen a GFCI recepatcle but I guess if I could find one having that
extra protection cannot hurt.

I will send your plans to my friend ans see if he can make sense of them

Thanks

I might only get back to you in a while as my friend is quite busy.
