The first are much more common and are intended for operation in a single-phase three-wire network. The other should be connected to a five-wire socket – three-phase current. A frequently asked question is whether a socket is needed to connect the board? Its installation is standardized in building regulations. This is due to the creation of a visible gap for repair purposes, as well as elementary convenience for easier connection.
