Power cord for the United Kingdom 

When using the oscilloscope in the United Kingdom, make sure the 
power cord meets the following safety instructions. 

 

NOTE: This lead/appliance must only be wired by competent persons  

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED 

IMPORTANT: The wires in this lead are coloured in accordance with the 
following code: 
Green/ Yellow: 

Earth 

 

Blue: 

Neutral 

Brown: 

Live (Phase) 

As the colours of the wires in main leads may not correspond with 
the coloured marking identified in your plug/appliance, proceed 
as follows: 
The wire which is coloured Green & Yellow must be connected to 
the Earth terminal marked with either the letter E, the earth symbol 

 or coloured Green/Green & Yellow. 

The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal 
which is marked with the letter N or coloured Blue or Black. 
The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the 
terminal marked with the letter L or P or coloured Brown or Red. 
If in doubt, consult the instructions provided with the equipment 
or contact the supplier. 
This cable/appliance should be protected by a suitably rated and 
approved HBC mains fuse: refer to the rating information on the 
equipment and/or user instructions for details. As a guide, a cable 
of 0.75mm

2

 should be protected by a 3A or 5A fuse. Larger 

conductors would normally require 13A types, depending on the 
connection method used. 
Any exposed wiring from a cable, plug or connection that is 
engaged in a live socket is extremely hazardous. If a cable or plug is 
deemed hazardous, turn off the mains power and remove the cable, 
any fuses and fuse assemblies. All hazardous wiring must be 
immediately destroyed and replaced in accordance to the above 
standard.
