Hello,
please excuse me. This is my first forum post. If I’m doing something wrong, please correct me.
I bought an older house built in 1961. In my kitchen, there is an outlet with three slots in a crescent shape. Two crescents face inward, and the middle one faces outward. What is this? Is it a high-voltage connection for a stove? There is already a cable coming out of the wall where the stove was in the kitchen...
Thank you very much

Hello,

I think you would have more success here with a photo. 😉

This is Terko.
It was used for special networks. There could be anything hidden behind it.

Just measure what is connected. For three-phase power, this is not enough poles...

As Alex says Terko.

  • Plug system: 2P+E, reverse-polarity proof, plug can only be inserted in one position.
  • Voltage: 250 V
  • Current: 16 A
  • For special networks according to VDE 0100 G 7.76 § 31a 2.1, can be used to ensure unambiguous identification.
