China Wiring

Our manufacturing company is setting up a service center in China and I have been tasked with building some test fixtures for the new facility. I am an electrician and am very familiar with receptacles, plugs, polarity, and transformer grounding here in the USA, but I have no idea how it?s done in China.

Here is what I think I know:

Power wiring is 380/220v WHY.

The general purpose outlets are 220V 50hz

A CNC machine in our factory that was made in China has a 380V to 220V single phase control transformer. The 220v secondary is identified ?220V? and ?0V?. The ?0V? connection is grounded to the frame of the machine.

According to what I found on the internet, a plug with an equipment ground is a GB2099 3P plug (Type I).
My equipment will have a control voltage transformer that steps down the voltage from 380 to 220V for some meters, contactor coils, and a power supply. I assume that I should ground one side of the 220V transformer just like we would if it was 120V..??

Also, I will need to install a 220V convenience outlet on the machine for a small instrument, and a place for them to plug in a computer. Does anyone know where I can get a GB2099 3P (Type I)plugs, cord caps, receptacles, and wall plates in the US, and how to wire them with the correct polarity?



I know this is an unusual request, but I would like to get it right the first time. Maybe someone could point me in the right direction.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This company was formerly known as Panel Components Corporation. In a previous life I did a large amount of business with them, mainly buying power cords with an IEC-320 connector on one end and a country specific plug on the other.

They were great to deal with and provided a catalog that had a comprehensive listing of power and connector specifications for a large number of countries. Never an issue with quality or service.
