Hello,
what does a "cable plug" mean, 220 V cable plug of 1.5 Ml, 380 V cable plug of 1.5 Ml? If someone could explain what it is. Thank you

    Hello,

    In my opinion, it means "Leave some slack"... A bit of extra length, make a loop or a curve reserve or "water drop" for future, possible interventions.

    It's the opposite of "cabling short" and cutting just to the length that's needed... which would later require changing the entire cable, just to redo the connection.

    Unless it's a spelling mistake like "a piece of cable" which is somewhat the same thing.
