It does sound odd. 3 phase fryers tend not to need a neutral connection.
What does the manufacturer's instructions say ?
If you are installing this in a commercial establishment ( it is after all a bit large for a family kitchen ) then you have a legal responsibility to do it correctly.
And no you are not right to assume both blacks should go to neutral.
They might both need to go to neutral but that assumption might be wrong and create a hazard.
They might be a safety circuit that provides for remote shut down of the fryer.

I bet one of the blacks will not have any copper up the middle!!
You are never right to "assume" anything, it will only take a couple of minutes to remove the covers to check the other end of the cable.

hey guys, chill!!
I thought it was a bit odd, thats why i asked the question in the first place!
There are no instructions and no diagram as it was bought at auction last week!
I shall remove the cover and take a look tomorrow!
thanks for all the replies/suggestions

I always thought they used 3kw single phase elements
Star point voltage will be 0V so no neutral required, unless there is some 230V electronic controls etc.
I suppose you could provide a neutral incase one of the elements fails.
What I'm saying is who knows.

The OEM would know.
Easiest thing is to look them up on the web and contact them for a wiring diagram.
Takes all the 'guessing' out of it.
