There are many different types of 220 Volt plug. Different plugs are used in different countries.

  • Two pin plugs have two wires, live (brown) and neutral (blue).
  • Three pin plugs have the two wires above, plus Earth (green/yellow).

Rewireable plugs are labelled which wire goes where. The wiring colours are an international standard, unlike plugs.
