Is there anyone from the US, UK and Switzerland who can measure the diameter of their wall power cord? I want to make sure the diameter is the same as the EU plug. Thanks!
I'm in the US, and my power cable is .37" diameter over the outside insulation.
The 3 wires inside the power cable were stripped and tinned with solder, I'm guessing from memory that they are 14 or 16 gauge.
And the black wire is the ground, white and green are what we would call L1 and L2.
Is this a standard European color scheme?
Here in the US, green is ground, white is usually neutral on a 120v circuit, and black is "hot."
But since this is primarily a 240v power cord, green would still be ground, but L1 and L2 would normally be black and red.
Hope this info helps
. I will be working on it this weekend to prepare the first batch.
