In Reply to: FURTHER ADVICE NEEDED ON MAINS CABLE (U.S.toU.K) HELP!!! posted by brainiac on July 16, 2006 at 04:24:42:
Cut the US 2-pin plug off close to the plug and chuck it.Strip off 1" of outer insulation, and then connect the two wires to the L and N terminals of a standard UK 3 pin plug. Black wire goes to the L terminal and White to the N.
That's it.
There are millions of amps etc supplied and wired like this. The manufacturer has designed it so that it doesn't need an earth.
It is safe. Get on and enjoy it!
