The faceplate is very worn and I cannot see the kW. They state the kiln it type 3670w and is rated at 12kW.
The paperwork does have 3670w on it but when I look at the spec sheet (see picture 2, SpecSheet) ) there is no sign...

P1-237v
P2-250v
P3-233v
and suggested this was the likely cause...
I am needing to know if this wiring diagram is showing a few things:
1: Does this show a 3 phase to single phase conversion?

I have recently bought a 3 phase bandsaw for hobby use and acquired a single phase to 3 phase inverter to power it.
When I looked at buying cable and plugs/sockets for the supply I didn't know if I should choose 3P + earth or 3P N + earth plugs and sockets.
What is the difference and which...
