To connect a three-wire plug to an electrical appliance, you will need to have the plug itself, the appliance, and a screwdriver. The three wires in the plug are typically color-coded as green for ground, white for neutral, and black for hot. You will need to match these wires to the corresponding terminals in the appliance, typically labeled as GND for ground, N for neutral, and L for hot. Use the screwdriver to secure the wires in place by tightening the screws on the terminals. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety precautions when connecting the plug to the appliance.
