Diagram of three phase four wire system

() 3 4 RST N()(E)
The power sent by the power company to a client (factory) is in a form of three phase four wire system: R, S, T and N (neutral) as shown above. Client usually has to ask a water and electricity engineering company to in stall ground (E) because the power company is not responsible for this installation. The water and electricity engineering company will consider electric quantity consumed to choose a proper size of ground wire.

(Neutral wire and ground wire is not the same. Do not connect neutral wire and ground wire together; otherwise the device will be burned.)

Y 380V R-S-T 380V R-NS-NT-N 220 V


Take Y system connection to 380V as an example: Any two measurements of R-S-T are the 380V. R-N, S-N, T-N are 220 V.

Pai Lung machine has two types of connecting methods for terminal hoods: R, S, T, E, and R, S, T, N, E. In Y system connection, R, S, T are for 3 phase 380V, E for device grounding, (Ground wire must be connected)and N for neutral wire.

1. If the factory has R, S, T, N, E in a total of 5 wires, please use electrical tape to wrap N-wire to be insulated. We only need to connect the 4 wires, R, S, T, E to each point. 2. If the factory has 4 wires R, S, T, N, please use electrical tape to wrap N-wire to be insulated. We only need to connect use the 3 wires, R, S, T to each point and ask the water and electricity engineering company to install and connect ground (E) wire. 3. If the factory has 3 wires: R, S, T. We need to connect them to each pint, and ask the water and electricity engineering company to install and connect ground (E) wire.
