Rebuilding laser cutter at the moment.
One of bits need updating is removing 2 flat prong mains socket passthrough on the back of the machine and two pumps that came with said flat prong plugs.
Machine itself is connected to UK mains via IEC socket, grounded. Accessories for plugging in the passthrough are air pump (air assist) and submersible water pump (laser tube cooling) and are ungrounded 2 pin. They are bad (very loose) fit and ungrounded.
I will get an electrician to fit the UK grounded/switched double socket installed, but what about accessory plugs ?
How do i wire them in regards to L/N ? Just chop off the end and wire UK plug to L/N, there is no ground to wire.
All is running on 240VAC UK mains, no transformers.
