Carbon filter wiring

Hey guys, just bought a new tent, and having problems with setting it up, so the the I have is from UK, and my cable is european, could some1 tell me, which colors should I use to put them together and not to burn it?
Here is the picture

Thanks in advance

Well, I don't know much about UK electrical, but in Canada, the red and black would be hot, and the white neutral/common, so I would bet that your blue goes to the black lead, and the green to white.

Only way to know for sure though is to look for a wiring connection schematic that came with the unit, then verify which are the hot leads on the cable itself and match them up.

As far as I know in the EU cable (the power one) brown is phases, blue is neutral and green and yellow is the ground. And in the instruction is says white is N, black is HS and brown is LS, but no idea what that means.

blue is N so blue>white, the phases is usually marked by L (L1, L2 & L3 in a 3 phase system), so put brown>brown and the ground cable green/yellow>black. this should be right if my 3 year electrician education wasnt all shit.. peace and blessings and good luck friend

Thanks for the answer, too bad You have not been here earlier, I actually connected brown to brown, blue to black, and green/yellow to white, and I just got short circuit after 3 seconds of working, so wanted to ask You, could You please explain, why did this happen, so in future I won't be making the same mistake
peace

aww man too bad (( im sorry to hear that!! is the fan broke or did the residual current device (< i had to google translate this word might be wrong haha its Jordfelsbrytare in swedish) switch of? try reconect the cable as i described before and check if you have blown the fuse in the fuse box or the "residual current device" switched off, if that is it you sould be fine.

what happened was that you got current in the green/yellow cable which is there only for protection if there is an electric leak in another cable, so if there is current in that cable the "residual current device" (if you have one) should switch of all the electrcity to avoid further damage. The brown (sometimes grey and black too if its a 3 phase cable) is what has the electricity and because electricity is never really used, it only passes thru like a river and it needs the blue cable to kind of take the electricity back. what im trying to explain simple is that electricity(current) needs to travel in order to work and if the blue cable wasnt there to lead the current away, it would jump to the closest thing that can lead the current to the ground wich is very dangerous!

So by youre explenation the current came in from the brown and came back into the greenyellow wich shouldnt have hurt the mercendise if im not mistaken, i hope this helped brother but its hard to explain cus electrics is complicated and speacially hard in a second language. peace and hope you work it out!

this is why these things come with instructions...
