Power plug with 3 prong switch wiring

Assuming standard color conventions, i.e., black is hot (line), white is neutral, and green is ground, here’s what you’d do:

  1. Check continuity of the terminals (input to output) with the switch in the energized/on position to figure out which input terminal is connected to which output terminal.
  2. Inputs:
    1. Wire black to the input terminal connected to "1"
    2. Wire white to the input terminal connected to "2"
    3. Wire green to the input terminal connected to "3"
  3. Outputs:
    1. Wire black to "1"
    2. Wire black to "2"
    3. Wire black to "3"
