The following diagrams will guide you through the process of wiring a Power Socket AC-01 IEC320 C14 with a built-in fuse to a Meanwell power supply in your 3D printer. These step-by-step illustrations are designed to help you safely and correctly connect the components, ensuring your 3D printer's power supply is both secure and functional. Proper wiring is essential to prevent electrical hazards and ensure the longevity of your printer's power system.
When working with mains power, it's crucial to prioritize safety. In Australia, only licensed professionals are legally permitted to perform electrical work on mains power systems. Attempting to handle mains power without the proper qualifications can result in serious injury or even death. Always consult with or hire a licensed electrician to ensure all electrical work complies with Australian safety standards and regulations.

Found an image of it. This is what I was sent:

Still finding contradictory wiring info online though.
Hi,
The unit I received has three poles in a row at the bottom, not four as in the diagram above. The left of these three is a negative which came jumped to the pole above it (I assume this is for the led).
Know the wiring schematic?
Excluding the two negative and the top labelled earth, that leaves the two poles, bottom middle, bottom right, along with two poles, top left, and top.
Most C14 switch diagrams are as they are here: four poles at the bottom.
I have looked up the configuration for the switch I was sent (three poles at the bottom) but they are inconsistent, hard to find, and I blew a fuse in a unit I had.
I have a multimeter, but am being cautious and want to avoid losing another fuse. Also not sure if what I suspect are two live poles are jumped.
I bought a unit off Amazon (it too were meant to be four poles but came as three – which I don’t think is a problem btw) but the cabling on those was pretty loose :|
For what it’s worth, I’ve wired up more complex stuff than this, I’m just being cautious.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
