Here you will learn how to correctly connect a Schuko plug (safety plug) to a cable. The installation of the socket (coupling) is also shown step by step. This can be useful, for example, if you have a defective extension cable or generally want to repair a defective cable on a household appliance by cutting it at the defective point and fitting a new plug.

Work on electrical systems may only be carried out by trained specialists. I accept no liability and only want to provide information in this video and explicitly advise laypeople not to carry out electrical installations themselves without sufficient knowledge. #plug #cable #schuko-plug #coupling
