Wireing cable reel

[Sorted _111]

Can anyone tell me how to wire up the picture I have added

 

[Risteard]

Indeed I could.

However I feel that if you need to ask this then perhaps you would be better getting someone in to do it for you in the interests of safety.

Thank you for your response

Did it not come pre-wired?

 

[Sorted _111]

Yeah but I took it apart some months ago and have now forgot how to wire it back up

I agree with ot

With no electrical Quals, how much practical hands on, tool using skills do you have? normally putting a plug top on is something most householder should be able to do, this job however requires, from looking at it at least one specialist tool that house holders won't own, namely a crimp tool for the live connection, hence the reluctance to advise.

This looks correct

Nope.

OP you have been given good advice previously. You are terminating the cables incorrectly, and potentially could prove fatal. Put that in the recycling bin and buy another already suitably wired. Or take that to an electrical store and have it properly terminated.

the only thing wrong that i can see it that the thermal cut-out is by -passed. otherwise ot looks right, and make sure the cable clamp is tight when you've sorted the 2 browns out -- one to each side of the cut-out. it is a cheap and nasty reel however. and from the pics we can't appraise if the shutters are OK.

And don't plug anything into it

 

[telectrix]

And don't plug anything into it

especially without the cover on, unless he's a builder.

As Tel said, the cut-out has been bypassed. And the connections to the cut-out should have proper terminations on them. May be nest as advised above to get someone to check it out. Daz

Yes can already see arcing to the socket connections.

 

[telectrix]

maybe it wants arcing across to the nearest bin.

Make sure you put a 10 Amp fuse in the plugtop

I'm afraid it isn't. You have bypassed a safety mechanism. This was a primary reason for me advising you to get someone who knows what he/she is doing.
