This is a follow on to my kiln thread.
The kiln is 3 phase but can be run on single phase. It is 12kW.
It has 5 core 10mm2 flex attached to it.
The colours are brown, blue, grey, black, green/yellow.
I'm just looking for the best way to attach L1, L2, L3 and the single phase 10mm conductor together?
A 60A junction box wouldn't be suitable as there are too many conductors to squeeze in. I was thinking of some kind of terminal block with separate holes for each conductor (exactly like an earthing block, but insulated) but I can't find any? This would then be in a small enclosure/adaptable box etc.
I've got a feeling this is something pretty straight forward, but I've never had to join 4 x 10mm before, so it's not on my radar.
Also, with the 3 phase colours above. Are they UK (new) colours, meaning that the blue is the neutral? Below is a picture of the actual cable. the whitish looking one is actually grey. Cheers ?
