CS6364 Wiring

[Spenser Hamilton]

Bought a few Hubbell CS6364 to make Nema 14-50P to CS adapters, the CS connector is labeled W, X and Y inside.

I assume that standard procedure is that W is wired to neutral and hots are wired to X and Y, can anyone confirm?

If I'm not mistaken, W stands for "white", the standard color for neutral. If in doubt, I just find the Nema chart online and use a meter to confirm the wiring of the pins.

Yep. If there is a third phase, that would be Z. Conveniently green and ground both start with a "G" so no confusion there.

Thanks Tom. Quite ashamed to have to admit that the W=White connection didn't click. Lol

Maybe someone else knows for sure, but I always assumed they marked the neutral as W in some plugs, because a letter "N" for neural turned 90° could be confused as a "Z" depending on which way you look at.

Yep. And if those connectors follow industry convention, your ground terminal should have a green screw, the neutral (labeled W) should be a nickle (silver) terminal, and the line conductors should be brass (gold) terminals.

And to add to what everyone else said, in the CD636x series of connectors, the two prongs with the wing on them are the hots.
