I have a Lincoln 500 vantage and I wish to make up some cables or get some made up for my machine. Considering the output on the machine is a 3 phase 32 amp 4 pin commando outlet what do I do with the other wire (earth) when when it’s a 5 pin at the other end, considering the other machinery I have to run off this is a 5 pin some of which has a hard wired outlet off the appliance, so a rewire isn’t really practical.
Can I connect the earth and neutral together at the 4 pin or does the earth just get omitted?
or am I looking at this wrong and do I need some sort of break out box ie 3 phase 4 wire in (F) and 3 phase 5 wire out (M) ....I am aware there are trailing leads with offer 5 pin (m) to 4 pin (F) however this gender is around the wrong way?
