have a 220volt unit. La Spaziale. Have 3 wires
! brown
2 blue
3 yellow/green
Have a 3 prong plug. Which wire is ground?
Does it matter where the other 2 wires(non ground) go?
Also, machine is 2200 watts. How many amps circuit do I need?
Thank you |

Yellow/green is ground in the UK. I think it's the same elsewhere in the EU but you didn't mention your country.
Cheers,

If you're using a fused plug then yes it matters as you should fuse the brown wire (live) for your safety.
If you're not in the UK though then I don't think you'll be using a fused plug so then the answer is no, as it's an AC circuit.
Re the circuit capacity, 2200 / 220 = 10A. You need a little bit of headroom for safety IMO, but your circuit needs to be able to supply 10A at least. |
