Thanks for the responses, so inside a supplier manufactured 3 phase plug to 240volt plug how are they connected and I will connect my leads to the same as this, so I am connected the way I would be with a supplier purchased lead ? Any info will be much appreciated
So just a minor correction to your original post and you're there:
Sorry I've just seen you've posted again but I'll send this anyway!
Best to leave fuse out of 13A plugs as well I guess

4 pin - 3 phase and earth
3phase plug side - earth to earth connection , neutral to L1 and link around to L3. Don’t connect the live into 3 phase plug.
13amp plug side - earth to earth connection, neutral to neutral connection and don’t connect the live at 13amp plug side.

5 pin - 3 phase / neutral and earth
3 phase plug side - earth to earth connection , neutral to neutral connection AND TO L1 and link around to L3.
13 amp plug side earth to earth connection , neutral to neutral connection and don’t connect live to 13amp plug side.
 
Are both ways ok for testing purposes if I was to connect the leads as follows
3 phase plug
E - E
N- N
L - linked out with all 3 phase connections
240volt plug
E-E
N-N
L-L
Or
3 phase plug
E-E
N - linked out with N and all 3 phases
L - cut off and terminated
240volt
E-E
N-N
L - cut off

Which one is the best to use if only for testing purposes is there much of a big deal with either of them ? Thanks in advance
The second one Is the one to use.
The first could potentially cause a problem if someone tried to connect equipment by means of the adapter.
