[QUOTE="ezilo, post: 499419, member: 32954"] As far as I know this installation is the one that came with the apartment. If I am not wrong the Fused Spur Switch is only for the dishwasher. I managed to get one Wago 221 and I tried once again. I inspected the wires and as you can see in this photo it says "4 mm2": [IMG]https://talk.electricianforum.co.uk/uploads/imageproxy/ICnLskvQ_o.jpg.028ee58be32614c012543d8b71a80a0f.jpg[/IMG] I cut the striped wires and striped again the wires around 11mm (I read that 11mm is what Wago 221 needs). This is how it looks now: [IMG]https://talk.electricianforum.co.uk/uploads/imageproxy/zRQIos0n_o.jpg.110289f29ef2b0a0e84afc5b2ddc564f.jpg[/IMG] Is this what [USER=250]@SPECIAL LOCATION[/USER] suggested, right? I have switched on everything except the appliance and the Switch had some light indicators blinking. I managed to connect it to the WiFi and kind of control it with the app. As I said, I have not yet tried to turn on the Dishwasher since I am not sure if what you see in the photo is safe enough like that. I agree with [USER=6969]@ProDave[/USER] with regards to how they are twisted they are much wider than it should, this was very noticeable when I separated the two earth wires because even separated they were very wide and could not fit the Wago 221. The Wago 221 I have used is for up to 4mm2 but it was not difficult to fit the wires into it after cutting and stripping them. But since the cable in the picture says 4 mm2 and the Timeguard manual says that the terminals are to be used with up to 2x2,5mm, should I look into doing pig tail with the twisted wires with two Wago 221? If so, do I need the wires that will connect each Wago 221 with the Load In and Neutral In to be similar copper wires of 4mm2? [/QUOTE]
