Hey guys,
I have a quick question for some of you more experienced lighting technicians.
I have been slowly going through allot of our cables in our lighting system, and slowly replacing all of the old connectors.
The connectors, are a 20 amp 120v/240V 3pin Twist lock style connector. Says Nylon on the connector.
I know that the "L" blade is the ground but I am not sure about the other 2. Which is Hot and Netural.
Their both the same size, and looking at the back, their is an X & Z marking marking the 2 pins.
I have also read that in a 240V configuration, Both X and Z are HOT.
Now, we have a Stand C21 System, 2.4KW Dimmers.
So I would imagine that would be a 240V system right, which would mean both the X & Z would be HOT, and as long as I get the ground right it shouldn`t matter which wire goes to which terminal right?
I am going to check some of the other connecters as well , but I thought I would ask some of the veterans here, to make sure I am on the right track,
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks,
