Hi, I bought myself a jumper cable to connect to mains to power my power supply but I came across an extra wire that I was unfamiliar with and was hoping someone could lend a hand.
I live in Canada and I was expecting a different colour code scheme than what was present in this Longwell jumper but it seems like this is IEC standard?
I got out my multimeter and checked and it seems as though the silver wire is connected to the green/yellow wire.
Green/Yellow = Earth
Brown = Hot
Blue = Neutral
Silver = Earth (what is this wire needed for?)
Attached is a picture of the cord opened up. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
JP
