Hello,

I have a power supply unit that originally had a (moulded) american style
mains plug on the end.

I have a Black, White and a Green core, anyone know which is which?

Before anyone asks, yes the PSU will accept 230V 50Hz.

Thanks in advance.

Black=Phase

White=Neutral

Green=Ground (Earth)

The cord is usually rated for 300v RMS, so you should be good to go.
