Connecting a 2-core electrical connector to a socket

Hello everyone,

I want to replace my roller shutter belt winder with an electric one. Although you can connect it to the socket using a 2-core cable with a Euro plug, I don't find that visually appealing. Now I have thought about making a slit with a hammer and chisel from the socket, which is only a few centimeters away, and laying the cable flush to the socket. It would make sense to connect the cable directly to the socket, which on the one hand looks more elegant, and on the other hand I could also use the socket for other purposes. Now my question: Is it that simple? Since the cable from the belt winder is only 2-core, I wonder if that is okay, because the ground is missing. I would not connect it myself but ask an electrician, however, I could only save the slit and the work for the flush-mounted solution if that is not possible. Thanks a lot in advance.

because the ground is missing then. I wouldn't connect it myself,

For this reason, I would also strongly advise against it due to "the missing ground." :rolleyes: Direct connection is possible since the seatbelt retractor is protective insulated and therefore no PE is required.

Works. But please have it done.

...have now installed it and it works (see photo). I haven't connected it yet. I will probably try to replace the flexible cable with a rigid one. However, then I have the problem that I probably won't be able to remove the strap winder so easily after plastering it over.

The pipe should end in the switch box and also in the housing of the [Gurtwicklers] and not far before.
